Dear Elder Snell,

Appreciated stake instruction for improving teaching of YSA’s.  I felt like I had a question answered by the Spirit.  Wanted to know the difference between Celestial and Terrestrial people.  They were talking about how important it was to really care about others.  I know my own needs can interfere (pride, wanting to make a difference or a good impression, fearing what people think, etc).  Can’t divorce myself from my natural self without a miracle.  Decided celestial people have pure charity with literally no thought of return whereas terrestrial people struggle with the spacious building of the world.  If you were going to apostatize and settle for terrestrial glory, you could be good, feel good, & do good, but you would never develop divine character which requires complete surrender to the tutelage of the Spirit, who then cleanses you of all unrighteousness.  That’s why it is well with you if you have charity at the last day.  The love of God, the white fruit, cannot fully be appreciated until it is growing on your own tree.

Love you BIG.
