Hello Family!
Spanish is still going
well, I tend to get at least one opportunity a week to use the little bit of
Spanish that I know. The class/program however, was only one week. 8
Missionaries took part in the program.
Emily´s German student!
You´ll have to have her email me, tell her to test out my German or something.
Is the partnership program still with the same school? I love it, that will be
so much fun.
Don´t worry, I´ll send
you some of the rain we´re getting here haha. That was really different,
especially at the beginning of my mission, how much it rains here.
So weird to hear about
my age group getting home. Say hi :)
Other things this week..
I went to Mission
leadership conference, 3 District meetings and a baptism this week. It's a good
thing that I really like meetings and that the spirit comes too.
Elder Taylor and I are
staying together, he only has 2 more transfers left.
We meet with Mr V again
this week. He's in the publishing process for his book so he's pretty busy, but
he made time for God. We met with our friend Mr J as well and talked a lot
about the purpose of life and why there are so many challenges and trials in
life. He asked why God didn't just create us perfect. Why is it necessary that
we suffer and struggle? After thinking about this question for a while I came
to the conclusion that God actually did create us perfectly. We're just not
finished yet. He created us and a perfect plan so that we could come back to
live with him some day. Through this plan, we are still in the process of being
created. We are being refined 1 Nephi 20:10.
For, behold, I have refined thee, I have chosen thee in the furnace of
affliction.
Life is hard, I have
seen that so much on my mission. I have spoken with and felt with so many
people who go through so much. Thankfully, (D&C
121:7-8) "thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small
moment;
8 And then, if thou
endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy
foes."
The atonement of Jesus
Christ heals and strengthens us and makes God's plan possible.
Have a great week, I
love you,
Hayden
