hi familia!
well things are going really well here. it turns out that i'm staying in the same area for the next two weeks which i suspected, BUT something different is that my companion is leaving! i didn't really think that that would happen in these short two weeks. but yes, he's leaving and i'm going to be with my district leader, Elder Devey, who is coming over to 26th street. i'm exctied about it because i know that he's a good missionary. there is a possibility that we might butt heads a little bit... but i know that there is a reason the Lord wants us to serve together and also that i just need to love him.
my companion and i have been working really hard the last week. we have had to do a lot more tracting than usual. tracting can be tiresom and discouraging, but we have been doing our best to keep up good hopes and to do our best to share the gospel with everyone we talk to! sometimes it's hard because people don't actually listen to what you are saying... haha. they just say "si... si...." but then you ask them a question and they don't know what's going on. haha :) but don't worry! our efforts are paying off. we have been finding a few people to teach. AND we had another great experience. my companion and i had 3 out of 4 appointments cancel on us this past Sunday. and we were forced to fill some hours with tracting. and it was great!!! the way that things worked out with the timing and the area that we were knocking, led us straight to Juan. he is a very sincere young man that said "sure" when we asked if we could share a message with him. we talked to him right on his door step and told him about the restoration. whenever we asked him questions, his responses were great. he really wants to find something good in the world and said that it would mean a great deal to him to know if we truly do have a prophet in the world. we were led to this boy by the Lord. i'm sure of it. i'm so excited to teach him again this week.
there are countless miracles that we can find in our daily lives if we just keep our eyes open for them. there have been times where i am just filled with thanks because of a beautiful day. it's incredible what the gospel does for you. i just read "our search for happiness" and there is a very important point that elder ballard pointed out. with our knowledge as members of the gospel, our whole lives change. we are given an ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE. haha mom and dad you should remember how much i love those two little words. they make everything better. we know our purpose here on the earth and what we have to do to fufill it. i'm so greatful to have this knowledge with me of the gospel. everything is just, happier :)
i love you all, and i hope all is well. thanks for your updates, i really love them! i miss you all but i'm so glad for this blessed time i have to serve a mission!
