Best decision of my life.

This is one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Actually it is the best decision! The people around here are so great and there is so much work. A lot of the time we cant have our full personal and companionship study because there is so much work! But on our way we have a family of 5, a couple, 2 kids and single adult on date to get baptized. The thing I wanted to focus on this week was priorities and decisions. This week there was a huge festival and a rodeo and stuff. The plan was to either go contacting and try to find new people to teach at the rodeo or go out and teach people that we have already taught. The choice was really hard because I wanted to go to the rodeo so bad and watch it and talk to people along the way of course, but we went a taught a investigator instead. All the other missionaries were at the rodeo and when we went to see our investigator I was so sad we didn't get to go. But later on I realized what I had done and how much it helped the person. Most of the people at the rodeo we would have talked to probably wouldn't have been from our area and of course we probably would of just watched the rodeo. It wasn't the choice between bad or good but good and better. The choice for me was so hard to make. It wouldn't have been bad to go to the rodeo, our president even said we could go. The decision of going a teaching that night was hard but I've thought a lot about it and I'm so glad that I went and taught them. Choices come in our life and we think taking a good path over the harder but better one, will make our lives so much easier. The choices will always come but what we need to focus on, is who we want to become. I realized that I used my time to the best of my ability that night and things this week have been so much better. People don't fall through on their lessons and everything is just working so much better. My dad helped me a lot more than he thinks he did and he once told me after I made a choice he said "well at least it was better than doing that". He said well there is always something worse you can do. Everyone turns the choice of agency into something bad. They make a mistake and say well I have my agency, its my choice. No one ever really thinks how agency can be applied in a good way. Agency should always be applied in a positive way. I had the choice to go to church instead of thinking I had to go to church. Anyways what I was getting to is you always have a choice, they aren't all going to be good or bad and some are going to be hard but its so much worth it to make the best choices we can make in life.
