December 29th

Hey everyone!
So I hope christmas was good for you guys. Excuse the font that i´m using. The computer is a little crazy. I just wanted to leave a few words with you guys. First things first. Did any of you see the movie Meet The Mormons? Well at our christmas party for the mission we watched a lot of videos and at the end we got to watch this movie. In portuguese. We were the first people in the world to see it in portugeuse. Our president was able to get a copy and his daughter brought it when she came down to visit. I loved the movie and I thought it was very inspirational. I hope that we are all able to be examples to our non-member friends like that. Another thing I´ve been learning on the mission is something interesting. Sometimes on the mission(or in life) we get into the habit of arriving to a level in life where we feel comfortable and we just kinda sit back and watch things pass by. One thing to realize is that we should always be working to change our lives and improve our lives. Seeing as we are not perfect there is always much more to change and to improve. Even after we die and we recieve exaltation, we still can learn and rise to new levels of exaltation. We need to look at our lives and see where do we want to improve and where we need to improve. And we must begin the process of changing. It´s a hard things, and being huaman we don´t want to change. I know though, that if I can do this, you all for sure can do it. Lets use this time at the end of the year to reflect on what was good and bad, and how we can use this new year to achieve a new level of happiness. I love you all and I´m so greatful for your support. Stay safe.
Love Elder Shannon
