Sometimes I try to think of something inspiring to write, but when it comes down to it I really don't have anything. Oh well right, so I guess I'll just fill in on what has been going on. Since I have started my incredible journey here in San Francisco I have come across a lot of different types people. Most of them I feel like we are not that different, it would seem that we have the same set of values, trying to do the best we can to get ahead in life. We all have families whom we love and i believe we would be willing to do anything for them to watch them succeed in life, or even help them out. I see my peers at school and the things that at the time are probably really important to them. They enjoy having fun in a way that I guess you could say only brings a temporary happiness. Just at the start of this week i saw four different students have a great time over the weekend with an additional black eye as a sign of self rewarding and not to mention the story that led up to it. Fun...... I don't think I am missing out on anything there. I have also been surprised by a few others who do things that I wouldn't have thought did those. I keep telling my self that I shouldn't be surprised. I always feel bad for them. There is so much that they are missing out on. I would rather spend my nights at institute, or enjoying my night with friends knowing that we aren't going to regret anything.
I see those people who are on the streets and wonder how many of them actually have homes to go to at the end of the day. I wonder if I have ever given money to someone who really didn't need it. I see so many people from every part of the world, a really diverse city. I really enjoy it even though there are many differences there are many similarities. For example we are all children of One that knows everything about us. He knows what we need, an how to strengthen them. We all have the opportunity to live with our families for eternity, and enjoy the blessing of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. The only thing is they don't know where to find it. I live in a place where there are only two stakes. Missionaries can't do all of the work, I have been blessed with the opportunity to share the gospel with some of those in my class. That is where it starts, sharing the Gospel. They might not agree with everything you say or believe, and thats okay the important part is sharing it. Who knows maybe in the future they will remember how much the Gospel meant to you and they will remember that. I really didn't know where I was going with this one but I guess it was something I needed to say and remind my self of. Whoever reads this I just want to let you know I love you, even if I don't really know you, I love you.
