Furnace of Refinement

Wow I'm sorry I am so LATE emailing.
This week has gone by some what at a normal pace as my companion andI have been working. I am grateful for your examples for all that you do for me and those around you, thank you. I am sorry that I am Emailing slow today, This morning when it came time to email I didn't not have enough time to email and get back home in time. This week my companion has been sick, this has caused some interesting discussions with each other; in part because he is sick, in part because he does not have the most healthy body in the first place, in part because he is a new missionary and member with not a ton of time to think of some of the ways to present our message; as we try to be obedient and do what we are told we need to do and do the other things as well, I know that I am preaching to the team that already knowes how to be amazing.

Wow I loved conference, I seem to love it more and more every year. I love learning and trying to see how the current message relates to me. This year I think that the talk that stood out the most to me was priesthood President Monsen. I could not help but think of some of the disagreements that we have had with others in the Field of entertainment, I am grateful for your example and for the things that we talked about, today I was walking and thinking of you guys, we were taking a train to zhubei, a very close place and we could have ridden our bikes and been just fine and I have in the past, but in order to save time and strength for my companion we take the train, I heard a guy say that the rain was coming and that it would start very soon, when we got off of the train I took a wiff, and smelled trying to smell the rain, it brought back memories of singing songs of Clint Black, " I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky, but I sure can smell the rain" or " if we are ever going to see a rainbow, we'll have to stand alittle rain" how this applys to our lives I can think of several ways. I have also been thinking a bit about knives. here in Taiwan we can but relatively cheap the really good forged steel knives. I have been thinking of how we have to go through the fire and be beat to until we can not be beat any more and then the lord will fold us over and do it again, and when we are done we are 200+ times stronger than if we had not gone through the fire. also when we are beat and cool and are heated and beat then cooled again our lives take on another beauty, just like the earth after a good rain becomes more beautiful, same with our life's. anyway I've been think of you and know that I love you, I am grateful to see that we all are changing for the better and we are being made stronger.

Sounds like you had a fun week, keep playing hard and making memories.

I love you I know that his church is true, Jesus Lives and the knows us.

I love you all, Thank you all for your exmple.
