The Lord's Way

So many things happen when you are in the service of the Lord, that sometimes you have not clue what to do with yourself. We are packed to the hour with tasks to do, people to teach. We give pre-missionary classes to the young men and take them out with us, we help the Elder Quorem with their visits, we talk with everyone, teach so many, and have tons of people that want to get baptized. But sometimes we just can never get it all done, we miss important appointments, or miss an opportunity to give service, or who knows what. Sometimes we wonder if what we are doing is right. We had 8 people that had a date to get baptized, only one came to church. Some got sick, others flaked, who knows right. So in the means of getting good numbers, and feeling satisfied with where we are, the South America 70 de Area decides it is time to step it up.

They almost dropped all the numbers we take, how many lessons with have, people we talk to, references, and now, they have given us free agency. A little scary due to its oddness, but no we have the ability now, to tink about what we can do to raise the asistance in church and the testimonies of the people. We will be changing the way we work, think, plan, sleep. It should be fun, we shall see. 

Just goes to show, that though the Lord never changes, he has many ways. This next step in the work is a little bold, but we are going to find what will change the hearts of the people. I cannot believe how the time flies here, we jsut keep working till the two years ends. Feels strange to be 21, but then again, feels the same. Miss you all at home, hope for the best. Do not get caught up in the past, think about the changes that can be made for the better.

Love you all,
