Cambios! Y Trust

Hola uno y todo!

This week we had transfers!

I get the epic privilege of staying in Pueblo Nuevo with my same comp for another transfer! Lets GOOO! 

What that does mean is that I am Elder Fuentes final companion, because this is his final transfer. Craaaaazy.

Whats really weird also is that I'm starting to meet missionaries that go home after me. That's honestly such a strange thought.

In any case... I hit 6 months this week! Its honestly crazy. Its said the mission is like a drawing of a basic house (like this one ) first 6 months are a wall and you climb up vertically. The next 6 are like the roof, still going up but its easier and faster. I don't  want this to go faster  I'm having too much fun!

I think my mindset this week has finally changed. I've been treating my mission like I've been on vacation, but this week my comp said something really profound to me. I was moping that I was a terrible missionary when he said this: "You have all the tools to be an amazing missionary. You have the doctrine to teach, legs to walk, and hands for service"

Made me realize its all mindset. So I decided to look at this finally like it's my mission. This week went by a lot smoother because of that I think.

We challenged another amigo to baptisim and he said he'd pray about it! I'm honestly so excited. Also a little bit frustrated. People here make agreements pretty quickly. Its just we need to help them keep those commitments.

I helped a woman build a garden this week! As in i dug holes and put poles into them, then helped my comp wrap these holes in plastic. It was pretty cool, as the woman was really grateful and its pretty awesome to be able to build something.

We also helped build another roof with the whole zone. The zone is officially a brozone! 14 Elders in total. I feel like im back in the MTC with those kinds of numbers  

This weeks AR had to do with trusting God and giving my will to him. A quote by (not sure but i think it was an apostle) struck me. It said that our will is the only unique thing we can give God. Everything else we are just giving back to him. I thought that was really cool.

Invitation! Pretty basic, but contemplate what you are grateful for in your situation. Even if its really tough, there is always something to be grateful for and noticing the good always brightens your day. 

I know that God lives, and that he is the good in our lives. In the name of Jesucristo, amen
