Ok....quite the week. I will just get right into what happened
today...my camera has been stolen. We were at an activity with the zone playing
volleyball, futbol, and ultimate frisbee in the mud (I am very, very dirty
right now - ha ha). I put my camera in
my companion's bag, which he and I accidentally left in another area. And it was gone when we were looking for it. I was devastated. But it's okay. I don't need a camera in order to save souls!
Let me testify to all of you that a
mission is worth it. Why? Because when you see your converts growing in the
church, you feel joy that exceeds any other that you have experienced in your
life. Nothing tops it. We had a lesson with Junue, and brought a member with us
from the Relief Society. I sat there in absolute joy as I watched Junue
highlight her Book of Mormon and talk to us about the answers God gives her in
response to her questions. I watched the member promise Junue that she would
visit her every month. I feel we are transferring Junue from our hands and into
the hands of the ward. This is very, very good. I am very happy. I made her a
promise that I plan to keep. I told her that I would return to Mexico and visit
her after my mission. Already I have one vacation trip planned... ha ha!
This letter has to be short as well. The robbery threw off the whole day. Our
keys are stolen, so we need to receive copies. We have a lot to do and need to
work hard.
I want to testify to every soul that
this church is true. God has a plan. I am learning things all the time. Every
day can be the best day of your life. Today, I am happy and filled with joy.
The mission is hard. But it is worth it. It is possible to ask God every day if
my day was acceptable in his sight, and have him tell me yes. You can do it
too, and right now. Make every day the best. I hope to have more time next
Monday. Love you all.
DIOS VIVE
