Changes

Change is good for you. It is hard but, it’s the hard things that change us. Make us better. 

I've been a missionary for over 22 months. Change is still hard on the mission, but it always has a positive effect. This time the change for me is in  my area, and companions. I am now in a trio. Elder Hernandez and Elder Willden are my comps. They are two big boys and make me look like I’m small  lol. 

To be 100% honest it's been a hard few days. Being so close to finishing my mission I have felt the want to just throw in the towel and quit. But I haven't, and I won't. 

My dad sent me a verse from the Bible yesterday that says "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" I know that for me to be able to say these words I need to keep on going. 

My new area is called Licey. It is in a pretty rough place right now. I mean we have almost nobody that's progressing and the members don't love missionary work as much as other wards have. But we are positive and working hard. With the attitude of "we do this for the Lord" we have found success. 

Our most progressing friends right now are Daniela and Vladimiro. They need to get married and for that reason they haven't been baptized yet. They need to save up money! Please pray for them so that they can save money and be able to make their first Covenant with God. 

I hope you are all doing well at home. I hope you're keeping the faith. I have come to realize the the thing that gives me the most joy in life is reading the Book of Mormon. It's a peaceful activity and blesses our lives. I invite you all to read it. 

A few emails left after this one! See ya’ll soon! Love ya!
