Hello!
One sixth of the way through the cycle- getting there! Haha sooner than we
know it it'll be over because that's just how things work out here. But yeah
we've got to get to Yankee Stadium soon for the game, so I won't be able to
write a ton, so forgive me!
This was pretty good! We've been blessed to see progress with the people
with which we're working. Missionaries found Yohanna a little over a year ago-
she's been going on and off with the missionaries since. We've had a couple of
good lessons with her in the past few weeks to the point where she has a
baptismal date now. She came to church last Sunday for the first time and
although she's going through some hard times, she is noticing the blessings that
are coming from living the gospel. We're excited to keep going forward with
her, and come July 13th she should be ready to enter into the waters of baptism
and work on be well on her way to sanctification as she applies the gospel of
Jesus Christ in her life. We've seen some other great progress with others too-
Ilka and Keni who are preparing for baptism in September and then Juana, the
sister of a recent convert that we started teaching about a week and a half ago.
Things are going great!
I'm learning a lot about gratitude. When we have an attitude of gratitude,
things just go well. I've noticed that I'm happier when I'm focusing on the
things that Heavenly Father has given me. Those things aren't too hard to find
so just look for them! I'm grateful for the success that the Lord has blessed
us with, for the opportunity to serve a mission, for the trials that help me to
grow and for many other things! Count your many blessings!
Thanks for everything! Sorry this is a little shorter- hopefully next week
will be better. I hope you have a great week!
