Tough week

 This week has kicked my butt.

Pero las cosas duros, te hacen fuerte!

But hard things make you strong!!!

This week wasnt really too diferent from any other week, simply put, (I am past the 3 month break in) 

This past sunday I was already pretty stressed with something idk even know what.

, then at church in the hall I was  solving an important problem with our friend and a member for him to be baptized, then a member from another another ward, came up to me and shoved his Ipad in front of me and said "Elder ayudame el wifi no esta funcionando!" I quickly logged him in, then he said: Elder! Necesito los videos para los niños!!" I was losing patience, because I needed to solve this important problem with our friend,

Then AnOtHeR member from another ward jumped into the ring, he said: Elder! Necesito su Ayuda con cosas en mi carro!.

I was freaking out, getting very overwhelmed, 5 poeple shouting spanish at me, putting their faith in an 8 week old missionary to solve their problems, worst part was my companion was elsewhere helping put away the sacrement,

But!

We got it settled i worked the magic, the savior blessed me with understanding and patience; and all is well.

Life is hard, missionary work is hard, being away from the people you love is even harder but nobody said it was going to be easy, so Im here to grind and

GET ER DUN SUN!

Just a little fyi the "ranking" for mission assignments goes

-mission president x1

-assistant pres x2(missionaries)

-trainers

-zone Leaders 

-district Leaders  

-then the rest of us

I enjoy exchanges, (when you swap companions for the day with your district or zone leader) 

You always grow extra close with those you exchange with because its exciting to get to know someone new to work with!

And the end of the week I went on an exchange with our new district leader, his name is Elder Parrales he is from Ecuador and is a huge inspiration to me, He has 2 months or so left in the mission so he had a lot of wisdom and experience to share with me, i hope one day to be half the missionary he is! he was a zone leader for 11 transfers!

Anyways, he said he was impressed with the way I work in the mission and he also told me,  "you're gonna be a zone leader or district leader in the next transfers and if not that, training"

I was shocked thinking no way!

I'm learning new things everyday!

I'm imensly greatful for each and every experience Ive had thusfar and Im superbly stoked for the future!

I firmly know! this is the true restored church of jesus christ and he lives, god does too! And they have a plan for us!

And following their timeline is crucual to our success in any aspect of life

Thanks to all who read these suckers, it truly means a lot!

I hope you all have a good week

Feel free to reach out I love yalls emails!
