Hello. So Ive officially hit double digits... 10 months of my
mission is now complete. It went by too fast and it scares me how fast
time is flying by... I feel like I cant control how quickly the days are
going by and sometimes I just want life to slow down a little so I can
enjoy each experience I have each day. This week was better for me. We
found more investigadores that appear positive and have a desire to
learn more and we are preparing Candelario, a man of about 60 for his
baptism this week. Candelario is a blessing. The missionaries have
taught him for years and he is the only one in his family who would
never accept the gospel for whatever reason. But he accepted a baptism
the very first time we went to go meet and teach him. He is ready. Its
as simple as that. The Lord prepares his children in HIS time, not OUR
own. Im not here to baptize every creature alive in a year and a half.
Im here to baptize those who are READY. Thats my job. But I cant do it
alone, even if I wanted to. Without the Holy Ghost and Heavenly Father´s
help... I would be incapable and inefficient in being an instrument in
any part of the Lord´s work. Im grateful to have realized this so I can
better myself in the next area I am placed in. Im grateful for the
opportunities Ive been given to learn, grow, and experience.
My birthday was amazing! My awesome ward gave me a cake and sang to
me and some members made me Shucos for dinner. It was a happy day.
Thanks to all who contributed to the package I recieved as well! I loved
EVERYTHING! Take care, everyone. Have a great September!
