so remember the goal i put last week? that would have been nice, this week i got sick. yep not for a day, it was a week. mom dont freak out, im ok. it started as a cold but then went all crazy on me and evolved into a sinus infection. im still recovering but im a lot better. it was kind of a bummer week. i guess from the sound of it everyone was sick in the fam, haha thats kinda funny, im still linked to my family. it was a hard week emotionaly more than anything, we were so excited to get to work, then everytime we tried to go out our apointments werent there and then i needed to lie down. its the life of a missionary i guess but it was a good faith builder for me. it was hard to accept the situation, i wanted to work, so i prayed to get better, and then would feel myself starting to get frustrated that i wasnt getting any better. i felt like i was praying for the right thing, i wanted to get better so i could work, but i guess it was more of a patience refreshener for me. im trying to learn to accept things on the Lords time and not my own. i knew He has a plan for me and that there are thousdands of things that i dont understand and wont, that i just have to accept what comes and trust in my Father in Heaven that it will be ok. i felt that yesterday, that it was ok, He has everything under control and me being sick will not stop the His work. i feel like everytime i feel like i have faith then i get another trial that reminds me that i still have alot to learn. im thankfull for these trials. they hurt , hahaha, but what doesnt kill me will make me stronger, haha. thats spiritually speaking.
so really we didnt much this week and i dont know what else to write, i spent alot of time sleeping. :)
jorge my convert is doing awesome, he cut his hair! haha and now he has recieved the priesthood and comes to church in a white shirt and tie, he is also dead set on preparing to serve a mission, its so sweet to see him get excited about sharing what he has discovered. the other day a lady asked us how we came to argentina and i started to explain that a prophet prays and recieved revalation, and he cut me off and said, that God sent us here for the people who need us, like him. that i was sent here for him , becasue before he has listened to the elders and didnt understand anything and didnt feel anything, but that i was sent here to oran to find him, so that he could understand and find the truth. it was a really special moment, ive never heard anyone say specifically that i came here for them. but i know its true, i was sent here for a reason and there are more people here that i will find before my time is up. i love this work, i love it more when im not sick and can actualy do it, but i still love it. it was good time for me and my comp to get to know eachother so it wasnt time completely waisted. :)
thanks for all our for support, and`prayers, mine are comming your way too.
i love you all!
