Long time no talk.
Well, these past few weeks have
been full of ups and downs! But, these past weeks have helped me really
be grateful for my family and for the gospel and for all the things that
it teaches us. This week I really was able to view the influence of my
family in my life and I just want to express how grateful I really am
for my parents my grandparents my aunts and uncles and cousins and
friends and all the great examples that I have had in my life! I know
that without you all I wouldn't be here and my life would be completely
different. Thank you all for everything you have done for me, for your
love and support and help in the times when I needed it most.
This
week we were able to meet a lot of new people who really have a desire
to change their lives and follow the example of our Lord which really is
the greatest thing to see as a missionary because we can help them.
Although its always difficult because it is a big life change, we can
see the joy that they have through this change.
I had the opportunity this week again to renew my testimony and love of the Book
of Mormon and the power that this book has and the guidance that we receive from the Lord through this book. I challenge everyone to start
today to read the Book of Mormon a little every day and see the
difference that it will make.
Also, this week a man brought
his oven onto the collectivo....... and a woman brought three bags full
of chickens, that were alive........ also there was a huge hole in the
ground next to where I was sitting and I was able to watch the road pass
by the whole journey and hope and pray that every time we hit a huge
bump it wouldn't expand and kill me.
I hope all is well!! I
love and miss you all!!!
