Little Tid Bit

hey there,
                well another little tid bit of what i have learned this week. its all about how we as people need to be given the same rules over and over again. i mean i think about it and 2000 years ago Christ was teaching his gospel, before that it was taught, and now we are teaching it today as well. our mission president gave us a lecture on studying all the doctrine over and over again. as members we have heard and read many times the rules and restrictions that we have in order for us to live safe and happy lives. but for me i always rolled my eyes when someone would start talking about the stuff i thought that i knew. yeah i was aware of the rules and such, but after time the natural man takes over and numbs those rules that we know. before i knew it i was making exceptions and justifying things i knew was wrong. then BOOM. someone gives a talk or says something about those rules again and i get reminded that i know what im doing is wrong and that i need to go back to following them exactly. in the moment of being chastized it is easy to say that i will change. then a few hours after my mind isnt so willing. that is a part of life, and the ones who can fight that fight and win are the ones who will have eternal glory. i got a lot of work to do hah. love you all, have a sweet week, love elder hayden summers
