Hello Everyone,
For those of you who are wondering
what the title means "Until the ends of the earth I preached the
gospel!" You see, I got transferred to Los Cabos!! And what's weird? I've
spoken more English in the last week then I have in almost my whole mission.
Lots of tourists...and it's so hard to speak English! I think they're giving me
a chance to practice before I come home or something.
Los Cabos...it's not so SO hot here,
but it's pretty humid!! I sweat a lot...I'm pretty much just a living water
fountain. If anybody wants the Living Waters - spiritual or literal, I'll
be here!
Everybody here is really nice, and
the ward is a good size, but there's not a ton of unity. That's something we're
working on. And there are a lot of less actives here.
Right now we only have 3
investigators. – Raúl is a 70 year old man that lives in a little trailer.
He wants to get baptized, but it's hard for him to walk and he lives far away
from the chapel. We're trying to help him get baptized while he can...Crazy how
one person can be ready at 70 and another at 15. I know God's plan for each of
us is unique, but I know that he is always waiting for us with arms open.
Our other investigator is a youth of
15 years. She's super ready. So humble and accepts everything we teach and
keeps her commitments! She's had some pretty hard things happen in her life and
all before 15 years!
I don't have ANY room to complain.
I'm so grateful for my family, and my house, and air conditioning, and food,
and shoes, and support, and school, and the church, and cars, and beds, and
pillows, and TEMPLES! and cement, and...well...you get the idea. :D hahaha lots
of people here don't have a lot of those things.
Anyway! Our other investigator is
Jesus. He has 45 years and he has been going to church for 2 months straight,
but says he hasn't recognized the spirit still. But he prayed alone for the
first time last week, so he is progressing!
My new companion is Hermana
Martinez! She's super awesome and patient. I can't upload pictures, because my
sd card got a virus, I think. So, just imagine a 24 year old young adult with
black hair, tan skin, a little shorter than me, glasses, and a beautiful smile
and that's my companion :D
I learned this week that I'm really
not going to be able to learn everything I want in the mission, nor for a long
LONG after, but I know that's what this whole life is for! If we are really
children of God, and I know we are, imagine how much potential we have!
Just...meditate on it for a minute...For me it's become something a little bit
more profound. Even with all our weaknesses and mistakes he helps become
something stronger and greater than we could ever imagine. So...read the scriptures
and pray, so he can help you become that somebody.
Have an awesome week, everybody
:)
