I've been thinking a lot about how I can improve myself as a person. And the Gospel of Jesus Christ is for sure the best and only way to do that. We can study the Gospel all we want, read the scriptures for hours a day and attend every church meeting there is, but the best way to live the gospel is through loving and serving others. This was a big inspiration for me. I feel like I've studied a lot but sometimes forget that the studying is there to help us apply the teachings of Jesus through charity. Just like how the Sabbath Day isn't about locking ourselves in our house to avoid going to the store or the movies, it's a day to think about and act like the Savior. That means going to visit people who are lonely, helping those in need, giving, writing loved ones, and making people smile. Making someone's day. Making someone happy through sharing. That's what the Gospel is all about. And if we aren't doing that, we're missing the point. I'm gonna try to be better at this, cause it's the path to true happiness.
I love you all. I'm so happy to know each one of you and hope you have a great week. I love my mission. I'm learning so much and the more I learn the more I realize I don't know haha. But I know that God exists and wants me and all of you to be the best we can be. And for that I am grateful.
All the loves,
Elder Jenkins
