December 15, 2014

Hi!!! so this week i have like no time since I have to pack up everything and get ready for Canada TOMORROW! I loved the letters I received form both bishop and the Primary. I am so grateful that everyone is so loving. So thank you Canterbury park ward.
 
Since I don't have much time i just wanted to leave everyone with a quick spiritual message. Elder Bednar gave a talk called Characters of Christ a few years ago on Christmas in the MTC and it is life changing. I have seen it several times now and i always get something new from it each time I watch it. It is about some of the amazing attributes that Christ had even in dire circumstances. When he was being crucified he forgives the soldiers, does missionary work to the thieves on the crosses next to him, and makes sure that his mother is being taken care of. When we are in the depths of misery and suffering we turn in. Even when something very small happens to us we are selfish and only worry about ourselves. This is something that we can all work on. The fastest way to get out of the pits of misery and endless woe is to turn out and serve others. I would invite everyone to find a way to worry about themselves a little less and care for those around them. Also please watch this talk if you have a chance. It will change your life

I hope all is well! wish me luck in Canada!
Merry Christmas :)
Love,
Elder Ostler
