Its finally here y'all, I will be in Peru on Tuesday and I am nothing but excited. Life here at the Mexico Mtc was pretty good, but I am stoked to leave. We did baptisms for our last temple trip and it was great. I baptized a few elders and helped a temple worker, by doing 60 extra confirmations when I finished with my district. I love speaking spanish for baptisms and confirmations, and while I was baptizing I got even more excited to convert someone in the field. I am pretty much comfortable with reading any spanish, and I don't really stutter or trip over words, whenever I read my scriptures or read a conference talk in spanish. On a different note I got challenged by 8 other dudes from another district to wrestle me on our last night (which is monday), so stay tuned for next week's email to see how I do, and wish me luck wrestling 8 guys in a row will be exhausting, but hey maybe ill go undefeated.
Spiritual Thought: One of my main purposes of why im out here, if not my main is to spread God's love and represent his love and his light through me while Im out in the field. And this month specifically I want to emphasize that importance, so every night before bed I just ask for opportunities to help others, love, or to represent God's light to anyone around me, because I know thats how I feel the spirit and I know how much God wants his children to come back to him. So I started this on Monday and I saw an Elder just sitting down and he looked completely fine, but I felt like I needed to go talk to him so I did, and I just asked how he was doing, and he just felt alone and didnt know spanish and was super stressed, so I just talked to him, and I was telling him how he is here for a reason and God doesn't give you a trial you can't overcome and he knows you will learn the language you were assigned to teach, and I told him to pray that night and ask God with a sincere heart how he can help you on your mission, and he did. I saw him the next day and he was doing a lot better, he got answers he needed and I am so glad he did. And last night I was given the answer to a lot of things that are heavy on my mind, a random elder in my house came up to me last night and said I had the feeling to talk to you, so we did for a while and he helped me so much, and I know that happened because of my willingness to serve and put others before my needs.
I have learned that while Im out here I need to forget about myself and forget my needs and just be there for people, because I know that my problems will go away if I just focus on others and help bare their burdens, because everyone should feel confident and happy about their missions, because then they will enjoy it more and be able to spread the gospel more if they are enjoying it, and they can show God's light more to the people they serve in the field.
Love you all, feel free to email me back!
