"Doors"

Living in another country where the church isn't as big has really made me appreciate Mormon boys. I've had the pleasure of meeting a few in my 3 weeks of being here, and I am nothing less than impressed with them. 

I've also come to see how time works it's way out in ways we didn't even see. Life often opens doors, giving us the chance to walk through them, or close them. I met "a door"... And I would love to walk through that doorway; get to know the frame, what makes the doorknob turn, see what the door is made of, and get to know the hallway proceeding from the door. In just the few hours I spent studying "the door" you can see that there is more than meets the eye. The grains in the wood run deep, and the way things fit together on that door are interesting. It's the kind of door I've always wanted mounted on my house. 

There are so many doors I will open in the 6 weeks remaining of my trip, but I hope this one stays open. It's a very nice door. 

Life works out in funny ways, and I pray in thanks that that's the way things are. 

The church is true. I know it is with every thing that I am. I'm so excited to go out and serve the people of this world and bring them happiness and truth- to burn out the fear that so many men and women have, and replace it with peace and knowledge that everything will be okay; that our Heavenly Father loves us, every single one of us, no matter out lasts, our presents, or our futures. 

Happy Friday. I hope all is well wherever you are. Smile at a stranger today- it works miracles.
