Hey Family!
I hope everyone is enjoying the weather in Estados Unidos para mi! Here it is pretty cold well.. it has it’s days where it is really really cold then really hot. They told us it will be like this for the whole winter, fun no! lol. Before I talk about this week, I just wanted to talk about all the changes that are going on in Las Vegas! I can hardly believe my eyes when I opened up all my emails today! Babies, marriages, moves, and a new cow in the family!? Are you going to kill him dad? I hope not... anyways I am glad everyone is doing well!
So this week, some really cool things have happened! I taught the first lesson in English! Seriously! We got a reference from the APs and Elder Gochnour said that I needed to talk to him in English. I thought it was only that someone from here wanted to speak in English. But when we went to the house, we found out he is from Haiti. He is learning Spanish because his wife is from here, but he went to high school in NYC! The spirit was so strong during the lesson, and I was so nervous because to be honest I have realized I really cannot speak about spiritual things in English anymore. But the spirit helped us tons! My companions also learned how us gringos feel during our first few months here in Argentina! We also had the Smith family in church because of the English class we started! Cool, right?! We are passing for them tonight to see if they liked it.
So this week is pretty much like the title of my email. While I was in the MTC one speaker spoke about his adventure to the top of Mt. Everest. I think he is crazy for wanting to do it; however I’ve thought about his adventure that he chose to do how he made it to the top. This last few weeks are titled my Mt. Everest of my mission life. Between getting sick and loosing light and water for five days! Yes, I
said five days. I have felt that this job is almost impossible.
THANKS DAD FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO CAMP!!!lol However, through this I have had the support of my companion. When one of us is down the other or others push forward. The most important companion I have learned through this hard time is the Holy Ghost and how much I need Him in my
life. He literally is a comforter. I know that as each of us pushes to be more worthy (being obedient) of his presence, we will feel the peace we each need in our trek to the top of Mt. Everest. I have also drawn strength from the talk, “Look Up,” that was that was given in the October Conference. He talks about how important it is to look down and see what you’ve accomplished instead of always looking up at what needs to be done. This is easier said than done, but as I practice this, I have seen my personality become more optimistic! So if other people are going through hard times, look down at what you have accomplished then push forward like the train, Ben….” I think I can I think I can I think I can.” Through Jesus Christ, we can. I know that without a doubt. I am grateful for this opportunity although it is the hardest thing thus far in my life vale la pena. I can hardly believe I am half way through my mission... scares me... but I am going to enjoy this second half even more!
Well love you guys! Choa!
