Another week has come
and gone! I can't believe how quickly time moves out here in the field.. it's
weird. I already have two months (almost) in Argentina and 3 months over all in
the mission. That's already 1/6th... wow, 'kay not gonna think about that
'cause it just blows my mind.
Anyways. The work is
moving along here in Ramallo and I'm learning more and more every day. I was a
little bit discouraged this week, mostly because of the language. I guess being
with a Latina companion just made me realize how much I don't know... haha but
it's all good and she's helping me a ton. I just have to remind myself that I
only have a few weeks in the field and it'll all come with time! Right? :)
Yesterday was Stake
Conference and it was awesome. I just love how it doesn't really matter where I
am in the world, I always feel right at home when I'm in the chapel surrounded
by my brothers and sisters. It's just another witness to me that this is
Christ's church and He's the one directing it.
This week I've been
studying a lot in fist Nephi (en castellano;) and was thinking about how the
Lord really does guide us and how we always need to trust in Him and the
impressions we receive. Every time something bad happened (like when Nephi
broke his bow) his brothers, and even Lehi in this instance, began to murmur and
basically question everything they had done up to that point, like leaving
everything they had ever known behind in Jerusalem. How could that possibly
have been the Lord's will if they were having such a hard time?
I went through the
same thing in the beginning of my mission. I thought ''mmkay this is like
really hard'' but I just had to trust in the answer I received multiple times
that this is exactly what I'm supposed to be doing at this time in my life.
Satan tries really hard to discourage us when we're doing what's right and
sometimes that's how we know we're on the right track :) The Lord is always
guiding us, and more often than not, it's through the wilderness, but He is
leading us to the promised land! It's just like our family always talks about,
how the trials are necessary and we just have to stay faithful and always seek
His guidance.
Love you all so very much! I hope everyone has a wonderful
week :)
