It has been a while since the blog has been updated with Chance's activities in the great land of England.
First off, he is still there, though he moved to another city.
He has found some pretty fantastic things to explore in his new city like Roman ruins, castles, and a wall that goes around the city.
Chance enjoys walking along this wall and looking down into the city.
He got a picture of a sunset from the wall.......combining two of his favorite things.
He also saw a butterfly in his flat. And Chance loves his animals and insects.
It is always a good day when Chance gets to see any kind of critter.
Here is what Chance had to say about his week last week:
Last Tuesday we went and played basketball with the elders and sisters and towards the end of the playing I went to go lay up the ball into the basket and one of the other elders was defending me and his thumb actually went in my eye and so that was an interesting experience. It's all okay though, I got a bruise on the bone above my eye but it's all good.
I wanted to focus this week on one line from Alma 38:9 which says:
"Behold, he is the life and the light of the world."
(The full verse is below)
9 And now, my son, I have told you this that ye may learn wisdom, that ye may learn of me that there is ano other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ. Behold, he is the life and the blight of the world. Behold, he is the word of truth and crighteousness.
I love this because I have found in my life that he is my light and he is my life. I am still learning a lot of things. I am still trying to build my relationship with my Savior. I know without a doubt that he is guiding me, placing me in situations to help me. I don't know who I would be without the Savior. I have seen his hand multiple times throughout my life. He is my older brother, he is my Savior, he is my strength. Through him, I can accomplish all things.
I hope that each of you will develop your relationship with your Savior. He is there for you, and he wants to lead you home. He is the best and the only way back to our Father in Heaven and the greatest happiness you will ever know. Pray, study the scriptures, come to know the Savior in any way you possibly can. I know that if you do, you will find a great bond with your Savior.
I love you all, I know the Savior loves you. More than I ever could. Seek him, Find him, and gain Joy with him.
Love,
Elder Paxton
