2/27/2012 “CHANGES
TODAY”
HOLA,
Yes, I got the
package you sent. I loved everything in it. It made my day. Thanks momma. I am in the same place but I got a new companion. He is a hard companion.
Momma at around 6 we have a meeting after that
I think we might come back to write a little bit more because we don’t have a
ton of time right now. Then after that we are going to go buy a little bit of
food then water then we have to wash the clothes of my new companion.My comp always complains. Always has to be clean,
and he has little flowers on his desk...Strange huh?
I love you too momma I will write
you a big letter tonight. Tell Connor
good luck and that I love him. I love you all and have an amazing week

Well, I guess I will tell you about my semana(week).
So, today we had cambios(changes). I don’t know if I like the changes but, It’s
not what I want, it is what the Lord wants. And I have to say they weren’t the
best cambios(changes) that I have ever had. The new comp and I, don’t see eye to
eye. I started to get along really well with my old comp but, they changed him
in the last minute. Now, I have a guy let’s call him fancy pants…He is…….. I know what my Padre Celestial has blessed me
with. I know I have el don de lenguas (the gift of tongues) so, I have the
oportunidad (opportunity)to be the person he wants me to be. So, I will be
strict but, I won’t hurt him ha ha.
That’s what happens aveces (sometimes). Aveces(Sometimes) it gets hard in the
mission. Sometimes you feel lost and it’s hard to work. Well, I had a semana(week)
like that. But I pushed through it… We were going to have 2 bautismos(baptisms)
this week. But, as we went to the investigators home to have their entrevista(interview)
it all went downhill. They both failed there entrevistas (interview) It stinks.. But it’s ok they are still working
hard and putting their time in to know if the church is true, which it is great.
But, veces(sometimes) it’s hard because,
I want them to know the church is true NOW. But, what I learned in this semana(week)
is that you can’t force somebody to believe. You just can’t… They have to know
for themselves. They have to know so, that they don’t fail. They have to build
a testimonyof it. When we leave and go home. The people here have to be strong
and that’s what I have learned. Also, I learned that it’s all about the timing.
Si el Señor (If the Lord) wants something to happen it’s going to happen. If
not, he knows why and it’s not the right time. I know that what happened, was
supposed to happen, because that’s what our Padre Celestial wanted.
The mission teaches you so much in
so little time. I know in this change I will learn a ton about patience. I know
I have to be a better person because that’s what my Padre Celestial expects of
me. He doesn’t want me to just lie down and give up; He wants me to learn how
to be a better person. I was reading my bendicion patriarcal (patriarchal
blessing) and I saw a ton of things that are happening and that have happened.
What a blessing it is, to have my bendicion patriarchal(patriarchal blessing).
I have officially 13 months in the mission field and I have 11 more to go. But who’s
counting I am going with full force and not letting down until I become the
person my Padre Celestial wants me to be. I have felt a change in me that I
have never felt before and I know what I learned this week will help me in the
future. But this week coming up, we will have two bautismos!!! (A boy and his
mom.) The husband is a member but, not really active so, we are working hard to
get them together. It was a week of learning now it’s time to put it all in
plactica(Place?)
I love you all and I hope you had a great
performance Connor.
Have a great week.
tu hijo y hermano (your son and
brother)
