This new area is probably the hardest area I’ve had
the whole mission which is just fine. These last few months will be my biggest
challenge yet but it is only fitting because I´ve grown a lot stronger on the
mission so the challenges have to continue getting harder as well.
We´ve got a lot of work ahead of
us over the next few months. Right now we don´t have a single person to teach. We are starting from nothing -absolutely nothing - but it´s really cool
because any progress we make will be miraculous and we´ll be able to see the
work of the Lord move forward. In a few weeks we´ll be able to look back and
see how much the lord prepared our way. I know that there are people there
waiting for us. I know it. The Lord has people prepared to receive the gospel
there. I´ve seen it a million times before in my mission and I know I’ll see it
again here. All we need is faith, hard work, and time. The Lord will help us find
those prepared people after he has tried our faith a little. We´ll find them
soon.
At first it was frustrating to
get put here because this is my last area and we´re starting from zero. It kind
of felt like I was starting completely over but as the week went on I realized
what a blessing it is that the Lord gave me the chance to start again. He is
giving me the chance to take everything I have learned over the past year and
put it into action here. He´s giving me the opportunity to work with this area
and these people from start to a point where it´s all progressing. I can´t
wait. What a blessing that is for me. This will be a big challenge but that´s
exactly what I want and need. I want to be pushed even harder to come to know
the Lord more deeply. There are still so many things that the Lord needs me to
learn so come what may and love it. I am so happy to be starting this new
adventure and I am positive that the Lord has so many blessings waiting. Even
though I can´t see what the Lord has planned I have faith that it will all be
for my good. I have faith that he knows what he´s doing and this is all for a
divine purpose. I´m super happy here and really excited to get working this
week. I know we´re going to see so many miracles and that next weeks email will
just be telling you all of them. Well, it´s time to go but know that I have
faith. I have faith in the Savior and that faith will never fail me.
Love you all!
Come what may and love it!
