At the beginning of my mission I was given a card that
allows me to be recognized by the government and others as a licensed
missionary of the Church. However, I found that it'll technically expire next
week so I guess that's a sign that the end is nigh. Maybe to give one last
gift, Orion decided to give me lice which my loving house mates have
scrupulously picked out with endeavoring fervor. In attempting to relate my
pitiful, untimely state to a spiritual analogy I reflect upon the Atonement.
Our sins are somewhat like the lice. Some large, some small, some not even
grown to maturity, yet in any state it is still undesirable. I could try on my
own to get out the bug but no matter how diligent I am, I will always fall
short of complete eradication. Similarly, despite how repentant we are, we can
never become 100% clean without accepting and using the Atonement of Jesus
Christ. Only in and through Him can we return back to our Heavenly Father. As I
soon will return to my own earthly family, I can't help but imagine how
glorious it will be to "encircled in the arms of Jesus" once more.
That's why I'm here, to help others experience the same joy that I've felt in
my life as I've come to know and follow the example of Jesus Christ. 
Word of the Week: lice--kulo Ex: I never want to have kulo
again. Period.
