Contemplating My Mission

  Hey Family, 

    I know!!! Time flies by like crazy!! That sucks it's cold there haha. We had a really good week when it comes to weather here. Specially Saturday it was about 72 degrees and we had a lot of service to do so... We were in shorts and short sleeves haha. And the rest of the week stayed between 50 and 60 so we have been blessed and I can't complain. 

     These week has been full of blessings as well. We were promised by the brethren to talk to 10 people each day and the lord would bless us with more people to teach... So that would have totaled about 70 people a week. But my companion and I decided to exceed that goal and talk to 200 hundred people a week and it's been so amazing to the lord bless us with more people to teach. I can't tell you how much our key indicators have been going up since we have been talk literally anyone and everyone on the streets. I truly know the lord is bound to bless us when we follow the wise counsels of those who have appointed by the lord to lead and guide his restored church. 

     We have couple people we teaching right now... And one of them is shakety and she is a part member. She is awesome and making so much progress. She has been to church 5 times now but she still got a little bit to go. So with a lot of prayer and fasting we are excited to get her baptized as soon as possible. Andre is the other person that we are teaching. He is so nice and humble. The lord has truly prepared him for us to share these restored gospel with him. He unfortunately couldn't make it to church these week. But he has been keeping his commitments. 

Chris is the other guy we are teaching and he is a little crazy but it's a work in progress. He like to rap and he records his Own music. Last but now least is paster patten. He is so awesome. He have been teaching him quite a lot. He goes to jehovah witness church and we went a sermon with him on Wednesday. It was different.  

     My companion is from Washington. He loves eating healthy so I really like that about him. We actually served in the same district in Louisville and my good friend trained him as well. So I went on couple exchanges with him before he was my companion. We get along very good haha. We relate a lot as well. We have a lot of fun doing these amazing work together. 

     I was sitting down and contemplating my mission.. And it's ups and downs, these past couple months have been the hardest of them all. But it's been also the happiest time of my mission. I really feel so satisfied at the end of my day. And I think that all it matters. I know obedience brings blessings and exact obedience brings mericles. I love love these church. As Ammon puts in the Book of Mormon " I glory in my Jesus" he is nothing but sweet. I truly am starting to recognize my saviors hands in my daily life. I never thought I'd say these but I'm greatful for my tries and heartaches. They truly strengthen and build my testimony. I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I know he lives. And because he lives he has reached out in love towards us and our nothingness. And has restored he beautiful gospel in the most beautiful way. I love y'all have a blessed week. Never forget to have him in your lips.
