Growth

Well this week is better; I have grown a lot. I have had such a desire to work more and more. We had President Interviews this past week and President told me he almost moved me in the middle of the transfer because there was a young missionary in the mission who did not get along with his companion and had problems (and stuff like that) and I was about to go on another assignment. I was scared to death but it all worked out and I stayed because he felt I needed to stay.
I have a companion that is really easy to get along with but at the same time he is being vary hypocritical and jerk-ish but I am trying not to get mad at him and be patient. But he is still a good kid.
I have a story, I can for sure say that being an a bike as long as I have has been a benefit in my legs. I was riding up a hill about two days ago (and a very steep one) and out of no where, guess what comes running.. yes a dog at full sprint. So I don’t know if it was the adrenalin pumping or the legs but I beat that dog up the hill and for sure down it- it was intensely fun. He did get really close but maybe that was my fuel. Well, I am sorry my spelling is way off today (well more that usual). Well, I got to go but I love you family.

Uuuuuuuuuu

I am so sorry but unless the Lord helps me I will not remember the week right now or what I wanted to tell you today. It just seems that as I go through the week I have all these things I want to tell you but when the time comes I draw a blank. I guess I need to start writing them down, yeah that is what I will do.......Well the work is still going great, I still am loving all the work. We are hardly ever on our bikes anymore because we are always with a member in there car but that’s not a bad thing, that is really good. A lot of the time we go out with the priests; it is way cool to go out with them because they all want to know all they can about missionary work before they go on their missions. I wish I was more into the missionaries when I was back home. Maybe I could have progressed faster than I did. One of the things that I am doing to stay focused and not think about how much time I have left is, when people ask me how long I have been out I just say “a long time” because to me it is going to be a long time which is okay with me. I really am loving my mission and I want to die strong, and I will.

Sweeeeeeeeet

Ok so this week has been pretty hard work-wise, just because we have a whole lot to do but I LOVE IT! It is such a good feeling to have so much HARD work. We all hear that the Lord’s work is the hardest work ever and I can for sure put my vote in on that one. I love to be busy. The thing that I am working on is working on my weaknesses and making them strengths. I have seen myself getting prideful a little and I know (and I mean I know that is not good) so I keep having to remind myself that I am nothing (Nothing with out the Lord). But there are good things that are coming to me also, I feel like the veil is being lifted for me to gain knowledge. I am learning so much so fast but it is great; just because I get to testify of the truth of the gospel but not of what I learned about because most of what I learn is too much to be taught. I just know that it has to all be correct and that there are no flaws in the gospel. “The puzzle is being put together...fast." I love you family and always pray for knowledge.

New Transfer

Well we are in a new transfer and I am staying. I only have two transfers and a half left. But I am glad to stay in Moreno Valley longer because I am teaching a lot here and learning a lot as well. I notice that every time that I teach I learn at the same time. That is because we are saying what the spirit is directing, so the words that come to the mind are what we are suppose to say and I learn from those words. I love to have the spirit as the 2nd companion that I work with, He is a great help. I have to say that the quote that mom and dad gave me was exactly what I needed. So our baptism received the Holy Ghost on Sunday it was great.
Well I didn’t have a really exiting week, so it may not be a long email. But I am working on those questions to the best of my ability; I will send them to you in the mail. Love you.
