Elder Flores, I AM HIS FATHER... (WEEK 20) 12/1/14

Ok I know that was a bad joke..

eeehhhh 

esta bien!

So I am back into Arquitectura 1! The areas have been divided and I stayed in number 1 and Alvarez in number 2. Both of us called to be trainers! 

How awesome is that!?

Its actually a lot harder then I was thinking... the first days turning out to be the hardest days that Ive experienced in the mission. BUT, with a whole lot of praying and help from Elder Alvarez, I`ve been able to climb back up to where I was mentally. All I need to do is put my trust in the lord! Because I was called here for something and so we`ll make the best of it!

Elder Florez is actually a great guy! Its a bit funny sometimes to listen to a new missionary, with a new excitement and an innocence that only being new can bring. He`s from qeretero (I have no Idea how to spell that) and is excited to get to work! We`ve been working really hard to find lots of new people to teach and the lordhas been blessing us a lot these past couple days! I`m extremely blessed to have a companion who knows how to listen to the spirit and act accordingly. I can only imagine what he`ll be like in a few months!

Speaking of months, isnt it weird that I almost have 6 months in the mission? Im already a quarter of the way done! They werent kidding when they said time is a valuable thing!  

How was everyones Thanksgiving??

I actually forgot that it was a holiday until the sunday after haha but its all good! I believe we ate a very 'festive' pizza. With a whole lot of pig leg and mushrooms! (actually quite delicious) 

I`m grateful for this chance to be here down in the mission and grateful for the oppurtunity to train a wonderful new missionary. I know if the Lord can trust me with this charge, I must do everything in my power to help him grow! I`m grateful for the atonement in my life, that although I`m a sinner and do sin in my wish, I can kneel before my maker and make things right by laying it all out on the table. I know if we can humble ourselves before him at all times we can always have the promised blessings of his spirits and improve little by little until the last and perfect day. When we stand before our God. I`m grateful for that love and assurance that only he can bring.

and more im grateful for you all and love you very much!

GOD SPEED!
