Howdy all!
There`s changes about! And they`re weird. But good.
Life,
it`s so interesting... it really is. You just can`t ever seem to figure
it out, because when you`re good somewhere, you`re not somewhere else.
And you just have to keep going at it to be better and better. That`s
where I`m at. And now there`s changes, so some bad things will die, some
good things will be born and there will be changes through it all.
Also,
it`s important to address something of worldwide significance right
now. Our beloved prophet President Thomas S. Monson has passed away,
I`m sure many of you knew this before I did (though if you remember from
a couple months back in Cusco, I knew before everyone, because rumors,
but that`s the bad thing about rumors...) but either way it is a time of
sadness, but joy too. Because the Lord has put into place His system
for how His church runs. Within a short period of time God will call his
next prophet, which is almost certain to be President Russell M.
Nelson. And the Lord`s work and His church will continue onward. At the
same time President Monson`s body will be resting and his spirit will be
free from the chains of his age; waiting until a glorious resurrection.
I`m doing well this week, I`ve been doing my best to be better and become better.
My health has been great this week.
Our
sector has seen a little bit of good things, we haven`t had much, but
we`ve taught a few more people and more visits with people that we`ve
been teaching.
Our companionship got a lot
better I`d say, not perfect, but we had a really good companionship
inventory and that helped us to see the things that were going on and
find some solutions for some of them. Though, now I`ll have to find out
how to get along with a new companion, but I`ve been praying a lot and I
fasted so that these changes would be according to what the Lord
wanted. And because there is an Elder in our zone who now is going to
have a change that called an office elder to know the changes, my
companion knew that he was going to be staying. Or at least from what I
understand, there was an "emergency change" yesterday or Saturday where
my companion was changed out, and considering that I`ve been praying a
lot and fasting for the right change, not my change, but the better
change, I think that`s what happened. Which to me is really cool! That
prayer does work, even though it wasn`t so that there would be the
change, but so that it would be the better change.
My
new companion will be Elder Lozano. He was trained by Elder Bogh, an
amazing missionary that I was with in Puerto Maldonado. Then he was with
Elder Soruco in Puerto, another great missionary. Then he had a change
to Juliaca last change when I came to Puno and now he`ll be with me here
in Inca Pachacutec. It appears that he`ll be the district leader, which
is confusing to me, but at the same time, like I say above, this is a
change that the Lord put more than a little bit of effort into, so
whatever it is, it`ll be good.
I`m doing well.
I`m a little nervous to see how Elder Lozano is, not having gotten to
know him well, but considering that which I said above, I`m going to put
my trust in the Lord for what happens. And I`m really happy that I`ll
be able to change most if not all of the problems we have right now with
the pension in wasting time there. I`m going to do my best to put that
in order.
And yeah, pictures, we did tacos a
couple weeks ago with Hermana Jeronimo who is from Mexico. The letter I
found under my desk. Penguins in Puno (inside joke with Elder Rodriguez)
and some more fireworks.
I can`t think of
anything else to say, so I`ll just say this. Life is good, despite being
hard and impossible to fully comprehend. But as we continue with faith
in God, in His Son Jesus Christ, we will be blessed and we will become
the conquerors against the forces of evil, which are the forces of the
devil. Take care and I love you all!
Addendum:
Hey, I just finally got my email saying what`s going on officially from the office.
I`m
the district leader! So, now I have to put on my big boy pants again
and get to work supporting and loving the people in my district. (not
that I avoided that, but now I HAVE to.) So, yeah, that honestly gives
me butterflies in my stomach, but it`ll be good. I`ve got a good
district and we`ll do some great things in these last 128 days that I
have left. #NotTrunky
