HELLO FAMILIA Y FRIENDS!!!!!
I realized after the fact that I wrote familia instead of
family so you will just have to begin now in understanding that English is
pretty hard for me. Not really hard, but I have a ton of Spanish words that
just creep their way into my language. I´m normally pretty good when I´m
writing, because I notice and can change it but speaking not so much.
SOOOOO I am doing fantastic. I have had a pretty rough
week, but that is mainly trying to adapt to different circumstances and accept
the will of the Lord. That is what I have been focusing on this week. I have
been trying to figure out the will of the Lord, but more important, having
complete faith in that will. Have faith that it will be for my benefit even if
it is not what I want to happen. I may have an idea of what I think is best,
but the only think I can do is serve others and accept the things I can’t
change.
I feel like for
the first time in my mission I am actually learning to consistently lose myself
in the work. I have been focusing my thoughts on what I want my desires to be,
and understand that Heavenly Father is always by my side, even when I´m being a
punk.
I have learned that communication with those around you
and especially the expression of love, is key in having a strong relationship.
I feel like one of the reasons I have such a low self-esteem is because I haven’t
focused my life on loving others and serving them. When we give more love we
receive it, and I have grown to understand that that is who I want to be, a servant
of the Lord who helps His children feel they are loved. I feel like sometimes
we aren’t sure how to serve others, but as we pray for the opportunities and
look for them during the day, we will see that God can use us more and there
are more of His children looking for the relief that we bring. I thank you all
so much for being a part of my life. I´m so sorry that for many of you I didn’t
make you more of a priority. I can’t say that I will come back and all the
sudden be able to serve everyone that is a part of my life, but I will
sincerely try. If you need help, know that there are people willing to help
you. There are people around you that could benefit from serving you. I love
you all so very very much. Thank you for supporting me and being strong members
of the gospel. If you aren’t attending church: GO TO CHURCH!!! That is the
place to find happiness!!!! But seriously, I am a living testimony of that. The
gospel is the way to be happy.
