Okay, this might be a very short letter... Well this past week was ... hmm.. a bit tough. Our baptisms didn't fall through because they went with their birth dad to Barcelona, and we aren't really sure what is going on but we want to talk to them and find out once they get back. The Elders had their baptisms and it was actually a very nice baptisimal service.
I have learned this week that when things get tough you just have to keep going. Things aren't going to get better if you don't do anything about it. I know that its discouraging when you dont see the results of your work but honestly , I feel like a missionary is happy when they are working. Even on discouraging days, as long as you feel like you gave your best you are somehow filled with a sense of peace. Maybe not at that excat moment but you are later reassured that you have done all you can do and that you are going to do it all over again the next day.
I really am loving the mission though, and the work and how it brings out the best and worst of you! haha I was talking to my companion today and she said that its like with every transfer that goes by something that you dont like about yourself surfaces, usuaslly your weaknesses, and you have to work with it, fix it and mold it into a stregnth.
I know that we, full-time missionaries, are set apart to be disciples and representatives of Christ. We have the power and authority to teach, preach and help guide God's children onto the right path. I am so grateful that I have a loving heavenly father who loves me and is with me 100% of the time. The atonement is real. Its there for us. Not just for forgiveness but for stregnth and comfort. Lets use it, all the time.
I love you all,
Hermana Hair
