Hello Everyone,
It's been a hard and long, yet very rewarding week. On
Wednesday I became crazy sick. My head felt like it was literally about to
explode. It was the worst feeling I have ever experienced. My muscles ache and
my voice is gone. But i understand why I experienced that. I've been wanting to
understand more about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. As I sat in my bed that
night I was pondering to myself. I thought of the Savior and how He suffered
for every sin, sickness, hurt feeling, etc. I was impressed in my mind about if I'm just one missionary with a crazy bad headache, what did He feel as He
suffered from everything. To me it was a real eye opener on how little we know
what the most important event in history. I was about to ask for relief in a
prayer but I thought to myself. If the Savior suffered all that without relief I can handle this too. I felt a tender feeling in my heart. I felt that it was
prompting to ask anyways. So I did. As the pain was relieved I understood that
choosing to not ask for help is like saying, Thank you for suffering for
nothing cause i wont use it. Now I'm constantly trying to find ways to use the
Atonement more fully in my life. Besides that experience I don't remember that
day much.
I have had one baptism named Allison age 13 in Proyecto
Manuel de Jesus. The baptism of Marcos fell through because we found a full
pack of cigarettes on his bed
The language is becoming easier. I understand a majority of
what is being said. But I have noticed that my understanding increases the
harder and more focused I am on the work. Here's a trick ladies and gentlemen.
When you do what the Lord commands you prosper in the land. HAHA. Go figure.
Thanks Nephi.
I started working with members lately. They love me! My
companions.... not so much. I'm working hard and we have an exciting week coming
up.
