Just looking at the pictures of the Sabbatical trip i realized how much of a blessing it has been in my life to enjoy those luxuries we so often possesed! I am so grateful for the wonderful childhood that you and dad gave to me, i wouldnt want to trade it for anything! I just hope that rachael and scott dont take for granted really how blessed they are, i had a sad experience this week with a returned missionary here in our ward.....so first off this ward is a very wealthy ward and the bishops son came home from his mission in St. George UT. and he called us to leave with us before he was going to get set apart and so i went with him for the night and it broke my heart as he shared with me his negative feelings of those who werent born in wealthy circumstances in our sector and the way he treated them.....i just felt so sad to see that its possible to take for granted the blessings and just look down on others like they are less than you and that is not what the lord wants, he gives unto men what they need AS LONG AS they are humble and show the pure love of christ to allthose around us.
I have truly come to feel like ive had a change of heart in my mission. that i no longer have the same look on life and the same attitude that so oftenly brought me down. I love all the children of the lord, no matter who they are they are so special and deserve to feel the pure love of christ. That is my calling, Bring unto others all that i have felt in my journey coming unto christ:) He has brought me out of the pit of despair and rescued my soul, the least i can do is do the same for those here in Chile, and all those in my surroundings for the rest of my life. I love the savior. He is my redeemer. Ive come to know him and will go through out my life sharing his love to all:)
This is my testimony, my reason to keep on moving forward, my strength.
I love you
Elder Collins
