Desafios..

Hey everyone,

Well it's been another good week here in the good ole mish.  Welllll mas o menos.  haha

Kinda a tough one.  Not as good as the last week.  Last week we had a great week in the work but this week the challenges have been big.  More than anything it's just been a little discouraging in finding people who want change.  or finding people in general.  To be honest this week has been one of the slowest weeks in the mission. We found 1 new inv.  Probably the low of the mission. But we kept working. We worked hard this week, knocked on a lot of doors, but nothing. I think it was just time to have a really tough week and learn to trust more in the Lord and in His time. This Sunday we had a long day of contacting and at 8:50 we had a little #FourthFloorLastDoor experience like Pres Uchtdorf talked about last year in his conference address. We found a young man at night and really that was amazing.  It had been a tough week but then I realized that we needed to have some challenges.  Nothing is easy in the mission or in Life. But something that has really helped me is a quote that Elder Holland gave in a talk like 17 years ago.  He said basically that some blessings come quick, some blessings take more time, and some blessings don't come until heaven, but for faithful and diligent members of the church, blessings always come. (An High Priest of Good Things to Come- 1999 Oct Elder Holland)  Look it up! 

But ya, that was our week. Despite the challenges, I'm still loving the mission and I'm loving this time of year!  My trainee is learning a lot and progressing a little more everyday.  Kind a sucks that it hit us to have a tough sector for the beginning of his mission, but then I remember back to my training which was also tough.  It will make him better later on. I know there are people waiting for this message though. I know that the Lord will have His hand in this work!

But ya, today for pday we got permission from president murphy to watch a Disney movie for Christmas soo we watched Moana as a zone.   It was pretty good!   Probably will be better in English.   but ya also I found a store that has American things, but super overpriced.  Soo I bought a highly overpriced Dr. Pepper, but it was super worth it ;)  haha.. welp that's it, life is good, have a good week #IluminaelMundo
