discover your talents.

How cool would it be if you were good at everything? Super cool... I know. But you see that's not exactly the way thing work around here. As most of you little fellas know we all have our own talents. And we are supposed to discover those talents throughout life.

So here is my question for you. Is a talent something that you are naturally a rock star at? Or does working and working and working at something until you have gained that skill count as a talent? Because I am pretty sure the majority of my "talents" are more of skills. Things that I may be good at now... but I most definitely was not good at to begin with. This has been something I have wondered for while now. I decided I better do a little research. Lucky me, LDS.org is bomb dot com for this kind of stuff. Here is what I found.

Guess what? Talents are to be developed. Lesson learned. We may all be a little more talented than we realize. Being kind to someone, doing service, or something as simple as smiling is a talent. It can be used to brighten someones day.

So to all my little missionaries out there. You guys are talented. For being so strong and so courageous to go out in the middle of a completely stange and unfamiliar place and teach the gospel. To share Christ's message with all who will listen. You will be so blessed. Not only for developing your talents, but for sharing them. With the world, and for bringing them unto Christ. I am grateful for all of you. This last week I have said goodbye to four missionaries. All the handsome young men I went to high school are leaving and serving. I am so proud of them. It is unreal... the feeling of love I have for each of them. Good luck boys. You're all in my prayers. xoxo

That's all.
