Sharpen Your Ax

Hey!  

This wasn't the best week.  We didn't have as much success as we were hoping.  

One morning this week we did a service project chopping down trees in the forest.  It was a cool experience and reminded me of a story I heard a few years ago:  A guy gets a job chopping down trees in the forest.  The first day he chops down 15, the second day 10, the third day 5, and the last day, only 1.  The boss got mad and asked why his results got worse everyday even though he worked the same amount of hours.  The worker realized and responded that he forgot to sharpen his ax. 

Every time we say a prayer, read our scriptures, go to church, etc., we sharpen our spiritual ax.  What are the benefits and blessings of sharpening your spiritual ax?  Will you be more in tune with the Spirit?  Happier?  Closer to your family?  I invite you all to 
"sharpen your ax" and see the ways your lives can improve.  After only having a mediocre week, I will be working on that too. 

I hope all is well back at home.  Please pray for Estefan as he prepares for baptism.  

All my love, 
Derek
