1 month to go

me and my companion in our new drug rugs

Hola Todos!!!

This week was good! (I'm pretty sure I say that every week...but it's true haha).

This week we were working a lot with the Evans Family. They are a super cute family with 5 little kids, the oldest being 11. They are members of the church who have had trouble keeping to the path. For different situations and reasons, it has been very difficult for them to go to church. This week the relief society president came with us on a visit so she could get to know them. 

After a great lesson, as we left the appointment she commented:  "I know exactly why they are having so many trials and problems."

My companion and I looked at each other and then looked at her and asked her why.

She said, "Because their coming back will make a difference. They are an amazing family. Their children are brilliant. And Satan knows it, and is doing all that he can to make sure that this family can't pick itself up." 

Many times we judge people. We see their weaknesses and fail to see all their strengths and the challenges they are facing. Everyone has their challenges and their burdens, things that we cannot see or understand. Often Satan is working hard to make sure we don't progress, but if we all work and support each other, we can all get through!

Countdown continued:

In my time here in Juarez my Father gave to me:

6 great companions

5 pounds...or more....

One of the sisters in my mission told me something that I think and have found very true... She said she gained 10 lbs of testimony, and I will echo that.

My 5 pounds of testimony...

Hope you have a great week and keep working on your new year's goals!!!
