I can't believe its
almost nine months, weird! It is going by soooo fast! I am really
enjoying understanding people better, and not having huge headaches
after frying my brain decoding what everyone is saying. It is nice to
see progress in that way though I know I still have a long ways to go. I
am grateful that I have more time to devote to furthering the work and
improving myself. They go hand in hand, when you invest yourself in
helping others truly, you realize that is where you find yourself and
receive the most joy. And the gospel brings that everlasting joy that
keeps us buoyant. This weekend was really hard. Long story short. The
baptism didn't happen.... and we're still figuring a lot of stuff out.
Satan is a big fat loser.
Good always wins though, so yay! Faith is the
most important thing ever. A favorite scripture of mine this week is Philippians 3:13-14
"This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and
reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press forward the
mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Reaching
forth can be hard to do, but it is the only way to grasp the prize of
our missionary efforts. I know that we are not alone in the work, that
all of us are united in our pressing forward
Have the best week EVER!!!
