Saying goodbye to Elder Muse

Fam,
We had a good week!
 Elder Ballard is awesome! I felt so much love from him. We got to shake his hand and it was a cool experience. I could truly feel his love and that he is an apostle of the Lord. I know he is. He is very funny also! He was cracking jokes when his wife was speaking. (He had to stand with her because she has a bad back. She is just a cute old lady though. So sweet.) He definitely made us feel loved and that we were doing the Lords work. It was awesome. :)
Loretta came to church with her 4 kids... Jeremiah is 3 and is nuts. I will send pictures of him next week! Such a cute family though. She enjoyed it but she lives so far away and its hard with her 4 kids. (one is handicapped. she was born prematurely.) She is a cute little girl though. I love that family so much! 
 My new companion is Elder Bourne. Funny thing is that he used to live in Belgium and go to this ward so he knows a lot of the members which will be very handy. :) He is super cool though. He was my district leader in Vlissingen and I told him we would be companions one day! haha He is from Virginia though. Loves LeBron so we will get along just fine! :)
 Muse is going home and he is getting excited. A lot of mixed emotions this week but he is ready to go and happy about it which is how he should feel. I'm going to miss him a lot though. He helped me a lot on my mission to become the man God wants me to. 
 I have been reading Believing Christ this week. Go read it. It is really good. There is one part I would like to share. It says something along the lines of. A lot of members of the church believe IN Christ. But how many of us actually BELIEVE Christ. It got me thinking. We have so many promises in the scriptures and how often do we say -oh that cant happen to me- or -I'm not good enough to receive that- We are limiting the Lord. We believe that Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. But do we believe Him? I haven't always believed Christ. But now I do and I know everything is possible because of Him. I love the new short film called Because of Him. I feel the Spirit every time I watch it. I love it and I love Christ. Just remember that He did all He did to succor us. Let his grace enter your life and let Him help you along the path. We can't do it alone. But we don't have to. I know Christ lives. He is my Savior. And for that I am so thankful!
 I love you all! :) Have fun in Disneyland! I'll just be here preaching the good news. :)

Love Elder Bosco :)
