Hey There Fellers
I am enjoying the mission, things are going great. I have transfers next week on Tuesday and I will probably be leaving. I have been in my first area for 4 months now. I am the junior companion here with a senior companion who knows the area now mas o menos, so I will probably get transferred here soon. One thing I heard was that I am in one of the safest areas of the mission so I will be excited to tell you if I will be going somewhere like the Villa 31 or 1114 where poverty rules and the word nice was hit by a bus a long time ago, or so I hear. We will see what happens! I am excited to see how things happen. I have never loved living life as much as I love it right now. I am living at the peak of happiness and know that this is the work of the Lord. I challenge every member here that I meet to read the Book of Mormon this year, so I will challenge you all to do the same cause I know that it will bless and may even change your life as it did mine! Seriously, when I started reading the Book of Mormon I found answers to my prayers I got along with my family, I was protected from all the bad choices I could have made in school, all thanks to the Book of Mormon. Reading and praying are two things that go together. When we pray and read, it shows the Lord we are serious about our prayers, that we really want answers and then we will receive what the Lord wants to tell us. Even if you don't understand the words that are in the book, your desire to read it will grow every time you read it and your mind will be enlightened to new things every time, and it will always apply to your needs. Be Bold, Be humble, be Obedient, fearless to live and stand up for the Lord. He always has and will pull through for us, lets do the same for him and teach by example, live the gospel, and show the Lord we love him. He will bless you beyond measure, more than your mind could imagine. I have seen it too much on my mission to deny it and have experienced it in my own life. Usually I wouldn't type something like this, but I cant deny the truth, after all I am called to proclaim it right now. I love you guys and wish you the best. I pray for you and love you all. I know the Lord is watching over you!
Talk to you next Tuesday. Have a great week!
