Another week down in the mission and time just goes so
fast. I make a year this week... I
can't believe that. Haha it seems
just like yesterday that I walked off the plane in the airport. Now that I have a year, I look back and
this has been the best one-year of my life. I have never felt better than I do now, and I have never
felt more satisfied than ever. But
I never thought I would be at this point.
Sometimes I sit in lessons and think "how am I doing this, sitting
here teaching people that I don't even know, in a different language, and
telling them to change their lives?"
haha The mission helps you grow so much! It helps you mature and learn
how to live in the right way. I
hope the second year goes even better.
This past Saturday we had the baptism for G. She was baptized by her husband J that
was baptized 2 weeks ago. It was a
great experience. It was a fight
to get them baptized, and they as well as I never thought that this moment
would come. She went from a person
completely opposed to the thought of us, to someone that is now looking for a
calling in church and participates in all the activities. They are such a great family. They have goals to enter the temple one
year from now, and I hope that they will be able to accomplish it. Haha I can't stop saying how happy I
am.
The rest of the week went well, and we are scrambling and
just working our brains out. I am
grateful to be here in the mission because I get to see lives change and the
gospel help others. We meet so
many people here that are having so much problems and troubles in their life,
and it is cool because they trust a 19 year old with their problems and look
for council in us. We have another
baptism lined up for a man of 64 years old named M. His wife died 4 years ago and he is super ready and excited
to take the step. The plan of
salvation caught his attention, and he has been listening for about 3 weeks
now. It is funny because last week
we gave him a BOM and he sat there reading. We went to his house for a visit on Saturday and he is
already in 2nd Nephi 21 haha. he
reads more than the members... but all in all a good week.
THE BEST fried chicken and french fries in Guatemala!!!
