So I sit down to write and it always
seems that I have to scratch my brain for what to say. Our investigator
Carlos is getting ready for his baptism this coming weekend. It's been
so long that I can hardly believe it's real. He is so awesome though and
really I can see the gospel blessing his life everyday. Yesterday we
taught him about tithing and he's totally willing to pay. Poor guy
though hasn't had much schooling, so he doesn't know how to
calculate 10%. We're trying to come up with a way to help him. But whats
more important is his willing heart to do it. We've also been working
with a lot of older men with all sorts of addictions. We're really
contemplating starting an addiction recovery program. It's just amazing
how much satan uses the things of the world as false moments of
satisfaction, but really they leave these people worse off every time.
The things of the Lord bring a peace and joy that's eternal and Satan
can't manufacture that.
I can't believe it's been 10 months in the mish. Not
that I'm counting, it's just crazy how fast the time is going. And next
week will been transfers so like always, email will be a guessing game. I
have no idea what will happen. I've given up guessing because it seems
my will isn't the Lords will, so I just pray to accept his will no matter
what it is.
Make sure to tell the Gwilliams congrats on their
mission call what kind of a mission is it? And tell Austin congrats as
well. That's crazy, Paris France but Mandarin speaking. Way
cool. It's awesome to hear about all these other missionaries getting
ready to enter the field. It's such a great experience they are about to
start. It's hard but every single day is worth it to help others find
the joy of the gospel.
I'm a little jealous of the hot weather. It's been
cold here but nothing a good pair of tights and a few sweaters can't
handle. Oh and Happy Independence day of Argentine today. All of the
internet places are closed so we have to write from the members computer and
we're in the house of the family Daniele.
Well I should get going but I love you guys and pray for you all daily. Enjoy the sunshine!!!
