Every mission is different, but they are all great!!!
First before I forget, mom and dad we just got an email from the office for our mission that says that you should always send packages through the US mail system and not fedex etc because they usually hold them in customs and charge more... so just before I forget for future reference!
Oh and I just read that the Schades could bring a package
that would be GREAT because there is lots of stuff I could use, I´ll
put that in the next letter if I don´t get time today.
Haha yeah mal I´ve heard its raining perros y gatos in buenos aires haha
and that it was also up to 45 grados this week, is that true??? freak.
You have much crazier weather than I do here! Haha I´m always hearing
about the weather in Buenos Aires haha the people here talk about
argentina a lot.
Alright so sorry I don´t have much time but I´m going to try to get it all in here.
This
week has been GREAT. Thanks for all of your advice and support
literally Satan wanted me to feel like I was alone in all of this and
that everyone was going to be upset with me when I told them that I am
struggling and about my concerns but I checked my email and I just
cried. Seriously Mom and Nik thanks a million. Thanks for all the
stuff you said I am going to do my best to take it to heart. But just
know I´m doing a lot better this week.
I was reading in preach my gospel last week after
writing you guys and I remembered something I´d heard in the MTC that
every time you are struggling be grateful because its an opportunity to
apply and improve a Christlike attribute. So I started reading about
esperanza or hope which usually seemed kinda lame to me like charity and
faith are so hard core and then comes along little wimpy esperanza.
But then I read and it said that the results of esperanza are
confidence, optimism, happiness, peace, etc and I thought.... oh shoot I
don´t feel confident at all right now, I´m not feeling optimistic, I´m
struggling to stay happy, and I´m not feeling so much peace. I need
esperanza. So I read the first scripture that it had, Romans 5:3
through 5 read it. Its great. I realized that hey! I´m on the way to
having esperanza because I´m in the middle of a little tribulation and
that's the first step! GREAT. So I decided to look at it that way.
Then we got the presidents letter for February.
Haha me and my companion read it and I started crying, my comp looks at
me and laughs in her cute english with her little accent says "Seester
look we are the presidents inspiration!!" haha it was so true. This
letter was written for us. The letter was all about the importance of
being truly happy, that it doesn´t matter if you´ve been in a sector for
9 months (my comp) and all of the worldly cares and things don´t
matter, we will be truly happy and content not with changes in
situations but if we truly have the spirit change US. He mentioned when
Christ said to Peter basically "Satan get thou hence" (I don´t remember
what it is in english) and that Peter could have been upset with the
Lord and let that affect him because that was kind of hard to take! But
instead he just followed him. So yeah. What president said to me kinda
hurt, Idk if he meant it as a joke or what but it wasn´t funny. It was
kinda hard to take. But I have a choice. I can let that pain and
embarassment burn inside of me or I can humble myself and take it like
Peter did. So that's what I decided to do. I´ve been just trying to
humble myself and take it. I´ve had to do it a few more times this week
when we got some more rules and instructions but I´m doing it. Its
been hard and I don´t think that the president dealt with things the
best way but I respect him. I respect the amazing knowledge he has of
the scriptures, its hard but I can see how dedicated he is to the gospel
and so I´ll try to do the same and dedicate myself more.
Well.... so out of time
