Learning To Love
¿Cómo estáis mis queridos?
Aight, so I'm doing well. Not going to lie, things aren’t improving much here in Cerrillos. I have never prayed nor worked so hard in my entire mission and it's unreal to see the lack of progress in this little Stake. All is well though, I have a healthy body, a great family, and awesome friends, gotta keep everything in perspective.
I have no idea how, but we have 3 baptismal dates for August in our sector. The truth is that some investigators have come out of the wood works and it looks like we'll be baptizing quite a bit in August in our own sector. The same can't be said for the whole zone, but at least we can finally be the example for the zone if we start baptizing. Pray for Ernesto, Sonia, and Javier they all have their date set for the 13th of August.
All of this has made me really analyze how important it is to be humble and loving always. I really have tried to find the way to deal with the problems I have in the mission by just loving and giving service. I can't do much if missionaries get out of bed late everyday and want to leave the pension late every morning and want to eat lunch with members for more than an hour everyday, but I can just keep setting the example and loving them. I've really learned to just keep calm and love everyone and magnify the good attributes that they have.
This week we were teaching to a new family we found. La familia Bega and out of nowhere the Dad asked what commandments we have in the church and asked a little about chastity. We taught the law of chastity and I have never seen someone so interested in this commandment in my entire life. He was so excited about it and absolutely loved it! He wants his kids to live it
Presidente Woodward came to our ward on a surprise visit and we're not sure as to why but it was cool to see him there. It was even cooler that we had a good amount of investigators there to meet him.
I am way jealous of the pics that you guys sent of high adventure! Wow, Colorado is so awesome. I love being Coloradan. Sounds like everyone's doing well! Grandma and Grandpa are working with the new temple in Fort Collins, and everyone's happy back at home! Enjoy the last part of summer!
Big shout out to one of the best brothers the world could ever ask for... WATCH OUT PRESTON IS TURNING 17!!!! I'd sing Tim McGraw's song of 17 to ya but… I'm on the mish so I can't! Give it a play for me anyway on Wednesday!
Love all of you guys! Life is good here in Chile! I Love the mission, I love my Savior, and I love this gospel
