What a wonderful week!

What a wonderful week!  Missions are awesome :)  I feel like i´m almost officially in motion as to what the MTC is about.  It´s a really set schedual so there aren´t really times through the day where I can just lay around... busy busy busy busy... but it´s a wonderful busy!  I wish I could really describe to you how i´m feeling but I really can´t.  I just know that this is what i´m supposed to be doing and i´ve learned to just enjoy the moment.  One of my teachers doesn´t really teach us what you would call a "normal" lesson.  He teaches how he feels we should learn things, and that is honestly what i´m going to be doing for my investigators.  It´s great :)  anyways so not to much new is happening because i´m just learning a lot.  The only thing I can really say is that i´m constantly building my relation ship with our heavenly father and my savior Jesus Christ.  The days are launching by,  I felt like I wrote you guys an e mail yesterday but it´s been a week. 
So my teacher (2nd one 1st one is awesome to) talked to us this week about confidence and happiness.  Just live life in the moment with no regrets.  Never look back or look to far forward.  Just enjoy the moment and what´s happening around you.  You choose your happiness.  If you want to be sad you´re going to be sad and the other way around.  I found out that being happy is a lot better then struggling to get through the day.  A failure is just a lesson LEARN FROM IT and grow.  If you moup to much about the past you won´t get anything done.  If you worry to much about what´s gonna happen in the future or say "oh hey things will be better in another month" it´s not gonna just be happy and live in the moment :) ha I feel so cheesy saying it but it really does make a difference if you are activley applying those principles in your life!
ps me and elder davis are kinda gettin swollen ( aka hittin the gym erry day!) :)) 
and lastly this week my challenge to everyone is to find beauty in the little things.  God gives us SO much that you sometimes forget to just stop and look at the things that are just right in front of you.  For example at the end of my day I look out the window and I have an absolutely BEAUTIFUL view of the city.  I sometimes find myself staring at it for at least an hour at 10:30 when I should be sleeping but it´s just to wonderful.  Life is so simple and so wonderful and it´s ours for the taking make the most of it :)  The gospel is real and I love my savior and my father in heaven,  i´m so thankful for the blessings I recieve even if they are the small things :)

I love you all and have a wonderful week
Elder Diamond!
