Week so and so...

Not much happened this week, we had EX's with the Zone Leaders. and that was fun I got to go back to my last area and see people. The elder I was with gave a spiritual thought that I really liked. so I am going to give it to y'all!

Going The Extra Mile!  OK so in the end of Alma (alma 60), Caption Moroni wrote a epistle (letter) and in short it says. HAY I need help out here will you please send me more troops! He's mad because he beat the Lamanites and took over a city but because if his lack of troops, they took it back. OK so I am not going to talk about Caption Moroni because we already know how baller he is, but I am going to talk about the person in this story that is not mentioned. The messenger that took the letter to the Pahoran (the chief judge)> so the messenger took the letter all the way to Zarahemla. And once he got there, he saw that the land was overthrown and that Pahoran was not there and that he went into hiding. So the messenger could have easily just turned around and gone back to Caption Moroni and told him that we are Doomed! But no he does not he goes the extra mile and he looks for Phoran and he finds him, gives him the letter and then they come up with a plan to take back Zarahemla and then get the troops to Caption Moroni. They did and it worked and they ended up over taking the Lamaites. all because this messenger was willing to go the extra mile. 

So I ask all y'all to go the extra mile, whether it be with work, your family, church activity! I know it is hard to go the extra mile, I love to do the bare minimum. but we are not going to be happy just doing the bare minimum! 

Love you all!
 have a good week love elder Gordon

PS My little brother drove 4/12 hours to spend 30 minutes with me while he had a 12 hour layover in Texas, coming home from his Spring Break trip! It was a great surprise to see him.
