"enough talking now lets go and do!!!!"
Another really long week finally over!!!
The reason our Stake President calls me “sunshine” is when I was on Heritage Tours he was the boss of our bus and the first day I was like smiling and happy all the time so he started calling me sunshine.
So did you all watch conference? I set a new goal this past weekend I actually watched all 10 hours of it and then some it was crazy. It was the coolest thing I think I have ever done. I’m so mad at myself for never watching and taking everything so lightly when I was a young kid. I have already listened to like 6 of the talks again. Awe, it was so good! An Elder here was mad about what the prophet talked about in priesthood and I wanted to knock him out but yea I cant really knock him out when I can’t even hold my scriptures. But I want to know what you all thought about conference? What was your favorite talk?
For me it was amazing, and I learned so much from it! The thing that stuck out to me the most was that President Monson ended the last session 15 minutes early, without saying much. And the Elders here were freaking out/murmuring saying" you still have 15 minutes left why couldn’t you give us something more then just that" but as I was sitting in my back corner I started thinking. (I actually started using the thing in my head for once.) Ha-ha! There had to be a reason he ended early, so the conclusion I came to was "enough talking now lets go and do!!!!" Lets go put the teachings that we have learned these past 10 hours to work! I remember my senior year coach Lewis had us running our butts off because all we were doing was talking and we weren’t playing as a team. That’s when we realized you can’t talk your way to a championship you got to go out and battle for it. The same goes for our salvation. We can’t just listen or talk our way to the celestial kingdom. We got to go out and battle for our salvation and for our brothers and sisters by paying tithing, going home teaching, putting other people’s needs in front of ours, and forgetting ourselves. So what President Monson was saying was enough has been said now go and do!
The five most important words are these,
"I am proud of you!!"
The four most important words are these,
"What is your opinion?"
The three most important words are these,
"IF you please."
The two most important words are these,
"Thank you"
The most important word is this,
"WE"
The least important word is this,
"I"
LEADERSHIP
A great leader suffers in a hundred different ways, and keeps his suffering to himself,
A great leader loves being alone with God,
A great leader overcomes himself, rises above himself, ever day, every minute.
A great leader is polite, but he never tones down the truth just to please others.
A great leader hitches his wagon to the remote the unattainable, the stars.
A great leader is very simple, but the moral force of his conviction shines through every tone of his voice and every gesture of his hand.
A great leader is absolutely fearless-- because he only fears GOD
A great leader loves, not sentimentally, not by making an effort, but with the effortless over flow of Gods love for him
A great leader is decisive, yet with the utmost tentativeness and tenderness.
You insult a great leader if you call him great; he does not want your judgment; he works and lives only to please GOD. Charles Malik
I found these in a book that I am reading, and each time I read it I thought about Rialeen. There are many more but I don’t have time to put them all in. Rialeen is the greatest leader I know! The strongest person I have ever known and I can only wish to be half as strong as she is. The thing that she went through the hundred different ways she suffered, I never heard her complain, doubt anything, she just kept on fighting. She was absolutely fearless!! She was the most loving person, she never thought about herself, it was always help this person, or we should do this for them, when most of us in her situation would of been thinking of me me me! There is a song called "angels among us" I have listened to it everyday! Rialeen is now our guardian angel.
I love you Rialeen with all my heart! You are my HERO! I wish I were as strong as you! I love you and I will see you soon.
Para siempre dios esté con vos!! God be with you till we meet again!!!
FAMILY IS FOREVER!!!
