Elder Garrett Zaugg: Pictures!

I love reading your emails! Makes me laugh every time. Even if I don't reply to something you
say, just know I'm busting a gut on this side of the world. I don't have much time because of all the photos I sent, so I'm hoping you get them because that'll make up for this shorter email. We just got the packages you sent today as we were emailing, so we'll open those when we get home. Thank you for them!!

Something I was thinking about this past week, was our emotions. specifically, anger. There was some stuff in the eternal marriage book that was talking about it and it had some great insight. Something that I liked, was the definition it had for anger.

Anger: an indication of a persons inability to control thoughts, words, and emotions.

Its a sign of weakness and no self control. Anger is within all of us, and we all eventually realize that we need to control it. There was a book I read that said when you're angry, just stop. You will never act correct if you act in anger. Take some time to let the feelings go away, and your normal mind set come back to let you think the situation through, then respond. Its all about becoming more God like. Disciplining ourselves and overcoming the Natural man. Everyone needs to learn to control their anger so they don't act out in ways that are uncontrolled. No one likes an angry person. right? I invite you all to bite your tongue and not say anything the next time someone gets you upset. Breath a few times, then think some better thoughts like,"Maybe they didn't know what they were doing was wrong." haha sounds lame, but it works. I promise you that. Try it and see for yourself!

I think it'd be cool to read what you guys have studied during the week too. So, if you have some insight on what you read during the week, don't be shame to put it inside your email. I'd love to hear it.

I love you guys! Have a great week!
