How can I be more constant?

November 8th, 2009

Hello my wonderful family!

All is going great here and I am healthy, safe and feeling great! The mission continues to be a challenge that is helping me to grow, and developed talents and attributes. The experience is precious every day!

More and more I am able to choose to be happy, and continue doing what I should, no matter what difficulties I face at that moment. Man that’s been hard! But priceless to learn! Consistency is so important! It is one of the basic characteristics that forms perfection. So, how can we become more constant? I know that it comes from living the Gospel and from feasting on Book of Mormon. In my youth I’ve felt very flexible and formable, like a sculptable substance. Lately I’ve been feeling more and more like that substance is beginning to harden and the form is beginning to set. I like the form I’ve chosen, and feel less and less movable in the aspect of “who I am”. I believe I am becoming closer to “who I should be”. Now I guess what’s left are the finish details.

I am profoundly grateful for the role the Gospel has played in the formation and transformation of my life, and in the divine guidance I’ve received to help me become the best being I can be. And I know that, just as Jesus Christ and His Gospel have formed the base of my life, he will continue to guide me in that process. That’s always the best part, that no matter how great it’s been so far, I know with the Gospel, there is always more!

I appreciate each one of you, my family, and am deeply grateful that you are mine!

With much love,
-Elder Packer

    This was very powerful. I receive Twitter messages from your dad and he keeps all of us updated on you. I love reading your blogs. They keep me going. You are a very inspiring young man. Your parents have to be so very proud of you.

    My husband, David, and I have only been members of the church for 1year and 3 months. We are going to our Temple on Saturday the 14th to be sealed together. We are looking forward to going. One of the Missionaries that baptized us is planning on being there also. We have to drive for 6 hours to get to the Temple, but it’s well worth the drive.

    Keep up the good work that you are doing, and remember to always turn to the Lord and to your scriptures when you feel that you are having a rough day.

    May God Bless You – -
