Hey family. Como estan ustedes? Todo esta bien aquí. Man this week was a little weird. First off I had a lot of problems with my toe. This Sunday my ingrown toenail got really really bad so by Monday night I could barely walk. My big toe was about twice the size that it should be. Then Tuesday we called the doctor and he told us to come in to see what he can do. So we took 2 buses, the subway and walked like 10 blocks to get to the office. It takes like a hour to get there. And remember that I can barely walk. So we get there and he tells me to take off my shoe, looks at my toe and tells me, that I need to go buy some medicine, and soak my foot in water…so we go all the way back to my sector and go out to work. I could barely walk so we didn’t get much done. That night I did what he had told me to do and by the next morning my foot was killing. I couldn’t even put my shoe on. So for the first time in my whole mission I had to stay in the house all day… man did it suck. There was nothing to do and I was bored out of my mind. But as the week went on my foot got better and better and now it is a lot better. Tomorrow I have to go back to the office to see whats up. I still wasn’t able to get the nail out of my skin. I think they are going to have to cut my toe open and take it out. But we will see what happenes. I will keep ya informed.
Well as you all know, and have all told me I have hit my year mark. Wow it is crazy how fast time flys by. It really feels like I have only been here for a couple months. I have had mixed feelings about my year mark. One, it is a huge accomplishment in my life. I have finished half of what the Lord has asked of me. But on the other side, I feels like my time is slipping away. I feel so rushed now. Its like I don’t have enough time to do all that I need to do. I still have a year left but it feels like less time than that. I am going to work my butt off this year and I am going to come home and pass out on my bed and sleep for a full year to make up haha. Make sure that you guys don’t get too trunky on my now. Haha
Well mom I got my package and it was awesome. Tell gma lam thanx for the pj´s. they are sweet and will be put to good use in a couple months. The weather here is starting to get a little bit less hott which is so awesome. I have lived through the hardest time in chile. Everything now is just down hill.
Well I don’t think I have born my testimony to you guys in a while. I don’t want ya to forget that I have a really strong one. It is very strong but very simple. You guys know that I have never been good with big words or pretty phrases but I want you to know that I know this church is true. Jesus is the Christ, the very Son of God. He came to earth so that each and every one of us would be able to live with Him and The Father again. Think about that!!! We can live in never ending happiness if we obey a couple little rules that we are given. Haha I think that’s a pretty good trade. I love my older brother so much. I have come to know Him so much better on my mission. To see His infinite love that he has for every one of His brothers and sisters. Even those who don’t want to follow Him. I have also felt the pain that I am sure our Heavenly Father feels when His children don’t do what He asks us to do. It is one of the saddest things to see someone who knows the church is true but is too lazy to do something about it. I love the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Oh man is that a powerful tool that we can use to destroy Satan. He doesn’t stand a chance when we are reading those books.
Just read and pray every day and I promise all of you that satan will have no power over you. And don’t just read, study, feast, and love what you read. It is so incredible the things that we can learn from the scriptures. I have seen the love that our Savior has for us in every single page. Also, don’t just pray. Talk with your Heavenly Father. He really does hear you. Its not just a couple words that you have to say before you can eat dinner, or before you can go to bed. It is the only way we have here on the earth to talk to our Father. Pray with real intent, tell God what you need, what you long for, why you are sad, happy, depressed. Tell him everything that you did in the day, all the mistakes that you made, and how you are going to do better in the next day. Then ask for His help. If you do that, you will be so much more happy I promise you. JUST DO IT!!!
I love you all so so much. Keep doing what you are doing and keep praying for me. I pray for you all every night. You guys are awesome. Have a sweet awesome week. Don’t do anything that I would do k? haha les amo. Chao!!!
Love
