hey pops how goes the work? haha the work here is great. i love it, it is the hardest thing i have ever done in my life...but it is also the most amazing. it is so hard to explain my feelings but i love it. when everyone back home told me it was the best two years of their lives they left out the fact why it was the best two years of their lives... its is not because every single day it amazing and wonderful and full of joy and love and the spirit... cause that is what i thought and it is not true. the reason it is the best two years is because of the trials you go through. the strength you gain. the powerful testimony you grow. these things dont come with daysies and tulips. they come with hardship, sickness, tiredness, rejection, bad food, no food, blisters, soreness and the list goes on and on. but this is how we learn. we couldnt learn if everything was easy. the days that are the hardest are the best days.
we had this day when i was feeling really really sick. it was hot and we were walking around all day. no one would listen to us, and all our apointments fell through. i was getting really upset and really stressed. my comp said that we should have an agenda prayer which is when we pull out our agendas and flip through them while we are praying so it doesnt look like we are praying in the middle of the street. after this the day totally changed. people started listening, we started getting apointments and people letting us in their houses, and i started feeling not so sick. it was incredible, the power of prayer is so real!!!
ya so conference was amazing wasnt it? but it was sad cause it was the most home sick i have felt in the mission. the whole day i kept on thinking about what the family was doing. but i think really the thing i was missing the most was being able to go to priesthood session with you... i was so depressed cause that was one of my favorite traditions in the world!!! i love goin with you then goin out to eat after wards, and i felt so left out cause i was miles and miles aways. but i still enjoyed it and this is the first time i have watched all of the session. i was so proud i stayed awake the whole time.
wow, tell shawn and tamera thanx thanx thanx!!! that is so incredible that they would do that for me. what a amazing thing that is. tell them thanx and that i know that the lord will bless them so much for that sacrifice for me. d and c 130:20 and 21. they are helping me help the people of chile and they will be blessed so much for that.
oh also one other thing that happened on the 6th was that sister hinkley passed away...just wanted ya to know that.
that is so sweet that your work is growing so much and giving you an opportunity to grow. i know that the lord is blessing you for your amazing work and examle in his work. he is always blessing us more than we see. we can never repay him for all that he does for us. we are in debt for the rest of eternity because even when we do try to pay him back and do what is right, he just blesses us more and more. so we can never get even or ahead. but we still need to try our hardest to do so.
thanx for your prayers. you will never know how much they really help. every time i think it is too hard or i think about giving up i think of you and mom and everyone at home praying for me and i dont want to let you guys down. you are awesome. i love ya so much. the tomatoes are still sick...but i am eating them more and more.
la inglesia de jesucristo de los santos de los ultimos dias es verdad. jesucrist es mi salvador y redentor. thomas s monson es un siervo de dios y guidados la iglesia hoy. a traves la expiacion de jesus podemos vivir con nuestros familias para siempre. te amo mucho. la obra es progresando siempre. yo se que el libro de mormon es la palabra de dios
con mucho amor
