Invisible

Sometimes it seems like all we do is invisible, right?

We put ourselves out there, but we are invisible.  Those we want to see us, don't.
We do all we can to make someone happy, but we can't all the time.
We change who we are (for the better), and yet no one seems to recognize this.
We have great ideas, but our closest friends don't see them as "great".
We look for ways to surprise people, but they don't want the surprise.
We smile even when it hurts, yet others don't smile back.
We fight back the tears to appear strong, so no one sees how weak we really are.
We are the shoulder for everyone else to cry on, but everyone disappears when we need a shoulder.
We give advice, but no one wants it.
Then when we don't give advice, people ask why we have nothing to say.
We are quiet so as not to argue, but they don't see it as peaceful, they see it as passive.
We know we are right sometimes, but to someone, we are always wrong.

But these are all people.  And what do we care about people?  Obviously, we care what those we love think about us, see in us.  But who cares most of all?  Who sees all the "invisible" things we do, think, and say?  God.  And who is the one who is most important?  Also God.  So next time you feel invisible, hit your knees, sob til your tear ducts dry out, pour out your soul...and know that someone is listening, someone cares, and someone is YOUR shoulder to cry on.  The Lord knows us best of anyone, for it is He who created us, it is He who sees all.  He knows how everything will turn out, and if we trust in Him, we can be assured that a greater happiness is in store.  God does not plan for anyone to fail.  We are His children, and He loves us more than we can fathom.  He has great things in store, even for the invisible.

Fortune Cookies can be profound..

So I was at work last night, at KBYU, and they fed us dinner. Sweet, free food! As a college kid with almost no money to my name, I'll gladly eat food that someone not only pays for, but pays me to eat! I've learned to like a lot of foods this way... I never used to enjoy Chinese food, but now I do. And last night, our food came from Panda Express. Seeing as I've never eaten authentic Chinese food from China, I don't know how "real" this food is, but it's pretty delicious. But that is not the point. The point is, half the fun of eating Chinese food is to read and laugh at the fortune inside the fortune cookie! Especially from Panda Express, where the fortunes are usually pretty lame, silly, or in fact MISfortunes! As I cracked my cookie open last night, my heart was pounding with anticipation... what would I get? Would it change my LIFE?!!? Okay, so I was just curious, and my heart wasn't pounding. :) I read the little slip of paper, and g...

Eu Amo Meloncia!

(NOTE:  Received on 3/30/2010) Hello family! Well, this week I did something different.  I kept a list in my agenda of things to write to y'all about, instead of just writing one on the bus on the way back from the Temple, and it is LONG!  But most of the things are just things to mention, not really to talk about.  So let me start with that! Choir last Tuesday was awesome...I played the piano of course, and the choir sang "Scripture Power".  Remember in primary when we would lift our scriptures up during the chorus?  Yeah, guess what 100 missionaries did during choir!  It was hilarious and so awesome.  We have so much fun here! Soccer here is intense.  Our teacher, Irmão Mendes, has the radio on his cell phone.  One day in class, he pulled it out, turned it on, and we listened for a few seconds to a soccer game.  Long enough to hear "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...
