Oh man, I miss the snow. I wouldn’t mind it right about
now.. I’m saying this as I am two minutes away from the coast. I will probably
eat my words when I get back and start saying I miss SoCal.. I bet the kids are
pretty stoked they get to play in it and sleep in for the whole week pretty
much. Everything shuts down when they get a few inches.
This week we were able to meet with Omega, Anaid, and Myra.
We had awesome lessons with all of them, the only thing is not one of them came
to church this week, so we are going to have to push all their dates back.
Sometimes I feel like I’m a babysitter or an elementary school teacher. Were
constantly, persistently, working with these guys and committing them to do
very simple things, but they just don’t do it. And then you have to start all
over again and make things very clear and simple so they can understand what you’re
asking them to do and so they remember.
I’ve learned so much over the past few months since I was
called to be a district leader. Most of my mission I dreaded the day that I
would ever be called into leadership, you know me and my personality. I never
thought that I would be called, but I was sorely proven wrong. It’s a testimony
builder to me that Heavenly Father truly qualifies and sustains who he calls,
even if they are weak. There is a scripture in DC 133:59 that states this
principle very clearly.
"And by the weak things of the earth the Lord shall
thrash the nations by the power of his Spirit." I’m doing things I never
fathomed or thought I could ever do or ever would do. It is absolutely amazing
to me what the Lord can do if you put you trust in Him and heed the call when
He needs you to act.
Love you all,
