Familia!
One night this week there was a pretty big temblor. It was
pretty neat and a surreal experience. My companion was falling asleep but I was
still praying, so I was kneeling next to my bed when the ground and everything began
to shake. It lasted awhile too...probs 20 seconds or so. It´s a pretty weird
feeling when the ground beneath you literally starts shaking and moving. It´s
weird, but really cool at the same time. I can´t imagine what the real
earthquakes are like that last for a few minutes and are crazy big. That would
be terrifying. But the little temblors are pretty cool.
On the other hand I got really sick for the second time. As a
result I got tested for parasites and tested positive. Woohoo. So I started
taking meds Saturday to kill parasites. Adventures.
I think something I´ve learned more about this week is
opposition in all things. There were some days this week that were absolutely
incredible. We put two baptisms dates with two investigators, we celebrated some
members birthdays, helped put up christmas trees, held 1 week old puppies, and
talked with lots of people about the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and the
truthfulness and joy found in this message. But there were also a couple days
that were long and frustrating as well. Especially yesterday. Frustrating with
my companion, me not feeling
awesome physically speaking, and to be honest not feeling like being a
missionary at times as I missed family and familiarity. But if I didn´t know
the frustrating, disheartening, and hard times I wouldn´t know the good and
happy and exciting times. It´s impossible to have happy times if I don´t
understand the sad. And I guess that´s just what this is about...endure to the
end. Put one foot in front of the other when you don´t want to move, smile when
you feel like crying, and enjoy the happy and amazing moments life gives us.
We´re here on the earth to be happy. That´s our purpose in life. But not just
happy, but find pure joy and happiness. So go find it.

On a good note we put two baptisms dates this week for
Arnoldo and Kevin! Pray for them that they will continue to learn and grow and
come closer to this Gospel. We also had to move back the baptism date for
Mirna, because she didn´t come to Church this week. Pray for her. I´m not sure
what happened, but she´s disheartened and saddened and we´re praying to know
how to help her.
I love you lots. And lots.
Love,
