Dear Mr. Perfect,
School. Particularly... High school...... I kid you not, it is literally almost impossible to walk through the hallways everyday without hearing nasty conversations and vulgar language. It really is sad. I don't understand why people are so addicted to swearing. No offense to anyone, but swearing just makes you look less intelligent and trashy. What's basically going through my mind is, "Can you really not think of ANY other thing to say???" I mean seriously! There's millions of other words out there, and yet your vocabulary consist mostly of swear words.
What's the solution? Good question. All I can say is, well... Surround yourself with good people who don't use bad language. It's that simple. And stay away from catchy tunes and movies using the language. And if you have to be around it at school, or at the store or anywhere, simply pray or sing a hymn in your head. It truly works. Try it! Also, don't be afraid to stand up for your standards.

Be perfected through Jesus Christ
Dear Mr. Perfect,
First things first, I know you're out there. This blog should really be called, "Dear Mr.Trying to be Perfect. Anyways, considering you're "perfect" and all (or atleast striving to be better everyday), I've deiced I need to do as much as I can to prepare myself to meet you, so that you can fall madly in love with me, and so that we can live happily ever after. (I'm a dork, I know.)
I went to a fireside where John Bytheway was speaking a few years ago. He said something like, " You marinate in your friends and acquaintances, and you become more and more like them as you spend your time around them." ect. Therefor, be very wise on who you choose to be your friends. On another note, my brother +Stephen Elías Coffman , used to tell me that you attract the kind of people that you are. SO, if you want a future spouse who is humble, and kind or outgoing, you should try to have those qualities yourself. Therefor, if you want someone who is perfect, you should try to be perfect as well. Although, there is only ONE simple way to become perfect though, and that is through our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the ONLY one who has ever lived a perfect life on this earth so it's EXTREMELY important to pay attention to his attributes. Some of those attributes are: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control, Forgiving, Humility, Fairness, Courage, Friendship, Honesty & Truthfulness, Dependable, Gratitude, and the list literally goes on and on.
It's a new year, and it's time for a new start; it's time to be perfected in Jesus Christ. For all those who read this, I challenge you to work REALLY hard this year on developing some of the qualities of Jesus Christ.
There is a really good video on the LDS church website that tells us all about Jesus and how he lived his life. If you'd like, check it out! Here's the link! https://www.lds.org/youth/video/christlike-attributes?lang=eng
