Quotes of the week - Sent from Elder Colton Mouritsen

Lately I've been thinking a lot about the "absolutes" I've learned on my mission. Some come from one-liner quotes, others are single principles. You will probably recognize some. Here's a few:

"There is no comfort in a growing zone, but no growing in a comfort zone."
"You are as happy as you are obedient."
"The Atonement of Jesus Christ is real."
"Our potential is incomprehensible."
"Submitting to the Father's will, obedience, and righteous actions breed spiritual and even temporal/professional education and knowledge."
"Callings are seldom convenient...they come first."
"It's a choice to be happy and to get along."
"Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of Heaven."
“The opportunity of a lifetime can be missed by not seizing it in the lifetime of the opportunity."
"We are saved by grace, after all we can do."
"Attitude is everything."
"The Lord's hands are in the details."
"The church is true."

Colton's first area

Colton, and 17 other elders, arrived in Phoenix on June 1st. With the split of the Mesa and Phoenix missions and the creation of the Farmington & St. George missions on July 1st, we weren't sure where he would end up. Today he was assigned to the Phoenix North Stake. His Mission President also mentioned Country Gables. Based on a search for Stakes/wards on LDS.org, Country Gables is a ward in the Phoenix North Stake. Looks like he'll be serving in the Arizona Phoenix Mission as called.

Colton requested that readers of his blog comment on various items of interest. He'll be interested to read them upon his return. So, you'll need to register to become a "follower" on his blog.

He called home while awaiting his flight to Phoenix. We had a great chat and he sounded so energized. He had a truly wonderful experience in the MTC.
