Reptile show? that sounds like fun, as a matter of fact, yesterday, during a lesson our investigators´s cat came in eating a large lizard that it had just caught, I thought it was pretty cool, she didnt, as she shooed it out he door annoyed lol.
This week has been great, we both learned lots and are really trying to work hard. Hard, but smart at the same time. In a big area you have to learn how to work smart. Ive also learned a lot about myself, and what I need to improve, as a missionary, as a person. Honestly, as I found out a little after I started my mission, I didnt realize how much pride I really had. OK, perhaps you guys as my family knew, lol, but when you start in the Lord´s work you really start to see your weaknesses. But thats a GOOD thing, because then you can change, and become better. Im really trying. Its not always so easy, but the effort will pay off someday, im sure of it. I also really enjoyed that article by Hilary Weeks mom, about words. I was able to experience a little of that this week too. Learning when and how to communicate, and when and how to bite the tongue when necesarry :) I would like to really put that in practice. We always need to lift lift lift our brothers and sisters, and a very important part is what we say.
Being apart of the Lord´s work is really amazing. You get to see miracles everyday. How the spirit touches hearts and how God is never very far. I love being here, helping others and seeing the gospel light illuminate their lives. Time is so short, im trying to not waste any minute of it.
I love you all so much, thank you for the support, love and prayers, I hope you feel all of it coming back your way ;)
