Hey everyone!!
I hope all is going well!!! i was so happy to get the news about ev's graduation what an awesome, incredible, and amazing event. so thankful for all of you and all that you have done to help evan progress! Especially for brig. wow brig you have done so much to help ev. i felt the same love and care when i was at byu and was having my troubles with classes and such. so grateful for that wonderful example that you are.
truly every week on our mission is a good week. a thing that i have learned and apply more each day has been always having that faith and hope to push forward during hard times. this last week we did have some bumps on the road when it came to finding new people and other things, but you gotta just put that to the side and remember "hey! your representing Jesus Christ and His church, what a blessing!!! The gospel is true! what a joy!" This helps me remember a couple times from this last week.
when winter comes to paraguay so does the rain. this last week it started raining a lot. most of the street turn into rivers and we gotta cross em and keep on walking. we left a lesson and were right on the street where the water was a solid foot plus deep and it was a river with a current. we had planned to go searching for new people for a part of the day and it was raining non stop. no matter what you wear you are wet and kinda cold. shoes are just soaked and pants are the same. during that time being honest we didnt find anyone new. we talked to alot of people, but sadly no one let us in. a feeling came over me though. i was just happy! walking in the freezing rain all wet, and people not willing to listen i was still super happy. why? because this is the Lord's work and this is His true gospel on the earth.
this last week i have also been thinking a lot about trials and how we face them. it brings me to remember the talk by Pres. Eyring who said "give me that trial! give me that mountain!" If we are truely willing to grow and better ourselves trails are a wonderful blessing. I have been praying and reading the scriptures to figure out what i must do and what i must change to help myself endure to the end pushing through trials is a big thing. you gotta take em and just say ok what am i gonna do now, learn and better the situation or sit on the side and moap. Through the atonement of Jesus Christ we can push through. With Him by our side anything is possible.
i'm so grateful for all of you and pray for you daily! . love you all!!!!!
