6 MONTHS

Well this week I hit the six month point and its honestly only felt like a few days that I have been gone. This week was a pretty good one. We had the opportunity this week to do a family home evening as a ward and it went really good. It is actually one of the first ward activities that they have had in a long time. I was worried, at first, cause not a lot of people were showing up to it but by the time we got going we had a lot of people there. They all loved it and it is really sending some life into our ward. 

We have a new Elder’s Quorum president and he is really stepping things up. He has a great desire to go out and work and improve the ward--partly because he was a missionary in this same area about 6 years ago. So, that is going really good. It’s amazing to see the ward start to step and want to work. Honestly, the work is so much harder without the ward’s help. 

In terms of our investigators, this was a really hard week for them. A lot of people couldn`t meet with us and we spent a lot of time trying to find new investigators. We are doing a lot of work trying our best to find new people to teach.

This week I have thought a lot about trails and why we have them. Why we have hard days? Hard weeks? Hard months? Its simply cause the lord wants us to grow and if things were easy we would never grow its in those moments of pain and trial that we become closer to the lord. It’s when all other sources leave us and we have only him. That is when we learn trust, love and faith. Never turn your back on the lord when the waters get rough hunker down and keep on working. Don’t give in and don’t slacken your hand. 

I hope you all have a great week

te quiero mucho
