Repentance

Hola a todos!

¿Qué tal? ¿Cómo están? Espero que estén muy bien y que están guardando los mandamientos de Dios para que puedan ser bendecidos y tener Su Espíritu consigo.

Question: (based on the fact that I´m 2/3rds of the way done with the mission...)

What golden nuggets have you learned?

Well, the first one to mind is that even missionaries can fall into sin, and we need repentance. Just like Hermano Velasquez from the CCM would always tell us, ¨I need repentance¨ and then we´d repeat after him, ¨¡Yo necesito arrepentimiento!¨ good times.

And yeah, I´ve realized that being in the office has taken it´s toll on me and I´ve become somewhat disobedient... I´ve not been getting up on time, nor getting to bed on time, nor have I been exercising and with being in the office and always having stuff to do, I´ve not kept the Sabbath day as holy as I should have. So, after the district meeting on Friday and the short zone testimony meeting afterwards, I put some goals in place and printed them out to have them in front of me to be able to focus well on them.

And it´s working! I´ve gotten up at 6:30 for the past 3 days and I´ve gotten to bed a lot better, I exercised on Saturday and I´ve been doing better at keeping the Sabbath day holy.

That´s a bit gold nugget that I´ve picked out of the mission so far, be obedient! Others, be kind, be patient and just in general be like Christ, because He´s perfect and He´ll help us to progress to become like him.

Have a great week and be obedient!
