So everyone, this is my last email from the mtc!! I'm so excited to get to the field but at the same time really nervous. So I decided that I would throw in something with importance cuz, well, as a missionary I'm told to bring everyone closer to Christ. During my first year of varsity baseball we were in the game to put us into state and we were playing IF, our rivals. We were down one, 2 outs with guys on 1st and 2nd and I was up to bat. I battled til it was full count. Then I finally got a hold of one and it was a line drive the 2nd baseman who jumped up and barely snagged it! I felt like it was the end of the world and I won't lie, I cried. Not because I felt bad for me, but because I let down the seniors that were on the team, Wally and B-nap and all them. I cried to them and said I was sooooo sorry and they said something that has really stuck out to me lately. They asked me if I tried my hardest and if I had prepared before hand. I answered, yes, of course to both questinos and then they said that that was all that they asked of us and they wouldn't have had anyone else in my position. I feel like that is how Christ is and that's what he would say to us, to prepare and try our hardest and do your best. So remember that as long as we do that, He will do the rest if we let him and that he loves us a ton!Elder Stosich
