This week has been really full of blessings, it has made me ponder
and wonder about all the Lord has really given me! We have been digging a huge
well, that is sweet! We also met the greatest family ever and we had a great
week full of rain and sun! The weather is changing like everyday so it’s hard
sometimes to stay on top of the healthy side, but that’s life as a missionary.
Okay I love digging holes! I can’t believe how big we got in
this well; no joke just Elder Mcelhaney and I have dug down 5 meter or like 25 feet!
We are using pulley systems and everything! But it was getting really deep and
we have failed to get to water. I feel
really frustrated at how we can dig so deep and have bloody hands but not
water! But when I look up out of the hole and see the smiling and concerned
looks of this family in a hopeless state without water and buying their own
water I feel like I can keep digging, so we keep going. I love to think of this like our testimony’s,
my companion and I chatted while we dig, "we also talk all night" and
we found that gaining a testimony is really like building and digging a well! Once
you gain a great testimony and you feel good about how you gained one it’s
harder sometimes to go deeper, we feel comfortable about where we are and we
stop going down! But all we end up with is dirt and sweat; if we want to really
progress in this life we need to keep digging! Until we hit the water "our
savior Jesus Christ". As for my
testimony I love gaining and deepening my testimony, I am a long ways away but
i'm trying! As for the well it has gotten deep and still has no water but we
will get there soon!
We are teaching a great family and they are young! Their names
are Adan y Gabriela! Adan is like 24 and Gabriela is like 22 and they just barely
had a little girl, so they are like this little family fighting the world. We have been teaching then a lot and they are
progressing a bunch, leaps and bounds actually! Adan is a less active but he
will and is coming back into the church.
We had a couple family nights with them and I made camel eye, it was so
funny to see them pick at it with there forks then they chowed down! ESPECIALLY
GABRIELLA BECUASE SHE JUST HAD A BABY AND EATS A TON! HAHAHA but they are
really doing great and they came to church as well this Sunday! What blessings!
We also made no bake peanut butter cookies and I just got to say that I love
the USA its awesome!
I cannot tell you all how happy I am! This work brings so much
happiness!
We also did some hard core workouts this week. Today was nuts, we went with Adan and he took
us running through the hills and mountains.
But not just running on a path, we climbed mountains, ran through rivers
and did push ups on trees and stuff! He is a marine and works out like a stud!
hahaha needless to say I about threw up and I can’t move my legs! All I could
think about when we were running is "thank goodness the Lord is on my
side" hahahaha but I’m doing great!
Thank you all for everything! I love you all so much!
