I am so constantly filled with different emotions good and bad each day
its hard to keep track. I get so frustrated with people completely
disregarding our appointment and yanking our chain, disrespecting us. I
get so frustrated with other missionaries and their lack of desire to
work. But i get so happy when i find that one person who really does
want to learn, and figure out more about life, that it makes it all
worth it. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday were full of disappointment
and despair. Our baptism fell, nothing worked right, and we just got
kicked and kicked. But Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were just great. I
really felt the spirit of the Lord as my companion, and me and my
companion worked our butts off and found, taught, and brought many to
church. We marked 6 baptismal dates. The Lord blesses us AFTER he tests
our faith. Even the great prophets were put through trials and
tribulations, before they reaped the fruits.
Sorry i dont have more details, I write a super
boring email when i write it at the end. Im tired, and just want to go
get a coke and take a nap. But sufficeth to say we are working hard and
having fun. We have lots of good people to teach, and hope to baptize 6
people before the end of this month. Im so excited for conference, and
we are going to the beach again this week. We will leave tomorrow, and
come back Thursday night. Then we will run our butts off all weekend to
try and recompense the two days we missed. We will do one more division
for the two baptisms we have this weekend (Lea and João, sorry i haven´t
said much about them) and then we´ll do it all over again. I love my
mission, and have a testimony of the atonement of Jesus Christ.
