prospero año y felicidad
hey! i hope you all had a great christmas and were able to enjoy time
spent with the family and thinking of the Savior! Christmas here was
great of course because i got to call my family and then the rest of the
day we spent visiting less active members and families. this week was
mostly full of activities and things so we didnt have as many visits
with investigators like we have in the past. but it was still a
successful and busy week because we had our baptism of Gerson
saturday!
hes super great and so happy to be a member. now hes helping us teach
his sister and his friend so we are looking forward to the next cambio
working with all of them. its also nice to have a recent convert so
close to our house now that we can visit often. so this week is the new
year! i cant even believe it because i can still remember the
festivities of last year so clearly. this past week my companion out of
the blue asked me what has been my favorite year of my life. i thought
about it just a little bit and quickly realized that this year truly has
been one of the best years of my life. and i am not saying that as a
missionary because i am now in the mission. really, i feel that this
year i have experienced great joy, even through my trials. i understand
better the role of the Savior in my life. I have a deep appreciation for
every aspect of my life that i have enjoyed: my home, my school, my
friends, this church, the gospel, my experiences, and so on. but
honestly i can find great blessings such as these in any year of my
life. even some of the hardest years were filled with great joys and
blessings if we could only look to find them. because i have learned and
experienced these things i know that this past year was one of the best
years of my life. however, it shouldnt be THE best year of my life. we
now have the opportunity to look forward to the new year and continue
forward with Christ so that the next year can be our best year. and so
on forever. the Lord councils in His gospel that we must endure to the
end. By that i believe that we can continue working and improving and
growing every moment and every year of our life so that we are always
enjoying the blessings that the Lord has given us. I hope all of you can
take a moment to reflect on your own growth and who it was that
supported you in this growth, and then you can look forward with a
steadfastness in Christ to continue growing in this new year. I love you
all so much! I hope you all have a great week and an even better New
Year! Saluuuuuuuuuuuuuuud
