Hola mis amigos y familiares
¡Esta semana estuvo buena! Hicimos mucho trabajo. Y un día (creo que el sábado) fuimos a un parque de trailers y caminamos de un trailer a otro, buscando a las personas que estaban en la lista de "antiguos investigadores" y también a cualquiera que encontráramos por la calle.
HA. Y'all thought I was gonna write my whole email in Spanish. No. I won't do that. But anyways, yeah so this week was good! We did a lot of work and I feel pretty accomplished if I do say so myself. I mean, if I do all I can and all that the lord asks, I can't NOT be satisfied because I know that it's all in the Lords hands and I just need to work my booty off like he asks me to, and then awesome results will come from it.
One thing I've learned on my mission is obedience. I mean it's only pounded into our heads since day one! I swear we had like 5 district meetings in a row about being obedient and consecration and all of that. So, yeah, guys, be obedient to the lords commandments! They're a blessing and a help. We need to follow them to help us stay on the straight and narrow path. Two of the seventies came to our mission and one of them explained that we need to help investigators hold onto the barra de hierro (iron rod) from the start. Or the dark mists and temptations are going to come and when they reach for the rod, they aren't going to be able to find it! So don't just be obedient when it's convenient or when you feel like doing good. ALWAYS do good and ALWAYS hold on tight to the iron rod.
This week I honestly can't remember much of what happened. I guess that's just what happens when you're really enjoying the work!
As I said in Spanish above, we went to a trailer park on Saturday I believe, and we just walked around and visited some people who we had down as former investigators and we talked to people we saw in the street and all that. Well, we were there for like an hour and keep in mind that's still over 100 degrees in Arizona children. And I decided to wear a long sleeve shirt because I look hot in those and it's not "as hot" anymore. Lol. Well, yeah no it was blazing hot I was so sweaty and my head was hurting. But, you know what I did? I straight went home and took a nap!!!! No jk if only. No, I didn't complain and I let my body sweat off all of the food and water and whatever else was in my body that day, didn't make my athletes foot any better, and I talked to people and shared the gospel! Cause that's what the Lord wants and well he sent me to Arizona for a reason, and if I'm not doing the work, what am I doing?!?
Ya know.... I think he sent me here so that I could learn a lesson about the heat as well, because I always remember complaining to my dad that it was hot as heck outside and I didn't want to be playing in dirt (that was basically powder and I had to use the garden hose to water it down and I was sweating everywhere and being a little wuss) in 90 degree weather. HAHAHA 90 degrees?!? THATS SUPER NICE WEATHER! Yup! I've learned my lesson! 90 degrees feels faaaaaantastic. NO MORE COMPLAINING ON MY PART!!!!!
Well, that's all I got this week. I'm also going ACTUAL golfing today. I'm so excited I'm gonna pee my pants!! Maybe. Probably not, but I'm still excited.
Espero que todos hayan tenido una buena semana, y que esta semana que viene esté llena de felicidad y mucha tarea para los niños en la escuela no jaja es broma
