Hey
Guys!
Got a couple of things
to write about this week.
1) Changes
The zone had changes
this week, and many of our best elders had to leave. In turn, the zone is going
to receive replacement 4 elders who have had companionship problems or
disobedience problems. We're trying to see if the zone can have at least 13,
but we also want the elders to get along. We don't need elders breaking out
into fights right now.
2) I was sent to
Esperanza after a long period of disobedience from missionaries. I came like a
shock to the ward: Missionaries no longer stay in members' houses chatting for
about 3-4 hours, missionaries don’t go watch movies, etc. The bishopric LOVED
that- but there were many members who enjoyed the disobedience, too. In my
mission, I have suffered persecution of many kinds, but the worst kind comes
from the members. It is NOT fun to have to live in a place where the people
don't like you because you want to be righteous. But I dare to stand alone. I
have done it before, and I will do it as long as I have to.
Never let your faith
in Christ be shaken because of things that people do or the way that they treat
you. Always remember that God's love is always available for you, and if you
really want it, you can get to a point where you feel His love- real and
tangible- every single day. How much do you want to know Him?
