The Constant Variable is Four Letters
Aloha Family a me Friends,
"Two times four is half of sixteen! All for the...(not warriors)..LORD! Stand up and lean!"
Nope not a cheerleader but I am on the Lord's team for sure ;)
Some things never change in this universe. Like the fact that 2 + 2 = 4 or a^2 + b^2 = c^2 or that a circle is 360 degrees and the list can go on and on. We may change but the one constant variable of life is God's love.

God loves you.
He loves you and every one of His children. He knows us and answers our prayers. As we were sitting in district council this past Tuesday, we get a call from a member saying that she would verbally kill her brother to the point that he would commit suicide. Within five minutes, all six missionaries on the island were at her door. Seconds after she was pleading with God to give her a sign. And lo and behold her sign was as she exclaimed while sobbing on the phone to many people "SIX missionaries! Son of a biscuit SIX missionaries at my door". The hate and anger in her heart was replaced with peace and love. She knew God loved her.
God loves you.
My entire Sunday (and probably week) was made when one of the guys we are teaching walked into the doors of our chapel and took the sacrament for the first time. If you were to have met him a month ago and saw him with his friends in the park, drinking and smoking...you would've thought he would be one of the last people you'd see in the church building. But this gospel can change lives. Literally. Within a month he told us he went from 20 cigarettes a day to just 2 and drinking morning and night to not at all. I can truly say I feel of Gods love for this man.
It is out of love that He sent his only begotten Son. For us He did the impossible and performed "an infinite and eternal sacrifice" (Alma 34:10). So that "mercy can satisfy the demands of justice and [we can be encircled]... in the arms of safety" (Alma 34:16).
Sometimes life isn't fair. Circumstances are constantly changing. But out of love God sent His son to perform an infinite sacrifice so that we may have infinite joy and peace.
And it is this love that is constant. This love that is powerful and trumps all powers of the universe.
"God will never desert us. He never has, and He never will. He cannot do it. It is not His character [to do so]"

Randoms:
1) Went exploring last Monday on some trail. Ran into an abandoned house. It was sweet.
2) Our Indian friend is back in India and he traveled 6 hours to meet with the Elders. How precious.
3) Welp. Gotta cut it short here. No time. So sorry. Hahaha
