Not what you want, but what you need.

Another wild and crazy 7 days. Learning so much while I am here with Elder Tafur, for there is much to learn. I will keep it short and sweet. This week we worked harder than ever and when, everynight it came time for bed, I just laid out and died of exhaustion. Everyday, running around all day talking to everyone, so many lessons, and meeting so many new people! Actually, when we hit Saturday in the morning we had 6 investigators that were planning to come to church that week! It was amazing. Well we get ready in the morning to visit them all to recommit them to come to church and to have them come with a baptism date in mind. Every single one was not there, or called us and said that they were not coming!!! The worst ever right. After a whole day of nothing right we felt fairly horrible, a little depressed to say. Just wanted to go home. 

And then here comes the best part, we were actually fasting so that we could bring people to church that want to be baptized. Ahh yeah perfectooo. So after visiting some people the day comes to a close and we head home. It is about 10 at night right and before we left we always knock at least one door before we go. So we walk to the end of the apartments, walk up to the third floor, and give it a little knock. Then the whole day changed. We found them. Cristian and his family, his sister, mother, and grandma. Within 15 minutes they were all commited to church with desires to get baptized. They were touched by the Book of Mormon. The next day they all came. They stayed for three hours. And they asked us the pass by at 8:30. The Lord works in small and mysterious ways. And I cannot help but say that God does have a sense of humor. He just sits there watching us be brought down, because he loves to help us back up. I was grateful for the fast. I´ll send a picture of the hosue he lives in, I took a picture just because I knew I wanted to send it to you all!

I want to cite a quote that I heard that I love.

                      A man is never taller, than when we is on his knees
Sometimes we hope for that things that we have planned out in this life. The things that we want, that we desire. Yet the Lord knows what we need. He knows our limits.Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. I am grateful to be here. It is a struggle. But it is worth the price. When you wake up in the morning, get on your knees and ask God for all the things you need. And in the night, get back on your knees and thank the Lord for all he gave.

As always, miss you all. Only 9 more right haha. 

Love,
