I don't have a lot of time to write tonight, but I'm a little scatter
brained right now, so that's probably an okay thing. There's been a lot that's
happened in the past week and a half, but nothing that I can think of in
particular. Elder Loera and I are just loading up on appointments and going to
work! And the training we had Wednseday was pretty sweet! It was from Tracie
Watson, the guy who had a large part in putting Preach My Gospel together, and
he essentially taught about how the focus of the way we teach as missionaries is
going to be more about talking about the repentance process and about how to go
about evaluating lessons in a better manner. We were one of three missions in
the world that got that training early (just testing it out on us), and we were
two of the ten zones in our mission that got to take part of that, so it was
definitely a privilege. Things are going pretty well!
Fun fact- I really am getting to be a big fan of spicy things. I think
Jalapeno peppers are great and I just bought a bottle of some hot sauce called
Valentina that I absolutely love. We've been fed a lot lately, and though we've
been running in the mornings, I think I'm putting on a little weight- just like
three to five pounds. I think I'm going to work on not taking second servings
from people, but when food tastes so good, it's hard to say no... I love
serving in little Mexico.
One thing that was brought to my attention again this morning during my
personal study was the fact that God doesn't give us challenges that we can't
first of all, overcome, and second of all, that aren't for our betterment. As
we move forward with hope in all of God's promises and with faith that God is
able to do anything as we trust in Him, and as we're motivated by charity for
our fellow man, things will be made better. Problems will work out as we seek
to be obedient to the scriptures, the modern day prophets and the Spirit. I
know that's true and I love testifying of that to the people we teach.
I hope all is well at home and abroad! Hopefully I survive the blizzard to
write another letter next week... Haha have a great week!
