Rising Above the "Rain"

Wow.  This change has flown by.  Monday I could be gone from this area.  I´m not feeling too chipper at the moment.  I´d be baptizing the daughter of one of the less actives Elder Montero and I worked with, but her mom is just not being smart.  I have a world of other problems that I´m dealing with and not many are mine.  

The rain finally stopped after a solid 3 days and I had to put plastic bags in my socks so my feet would be ok in the end of the day.

I meet our new mission President tomorrow. President Reeves.

An elder that I know from the MTC got robbed a few days back and I´m giving him some extra stuff of mine that he lost.  He is a really shy and shelly guy so I hope he will be ok.  I just thought I´d let you know more or less what is ACTUALLY filling my days.  Sorry that I had to rant.

I bore my testimony yesterday. I discussed the difference between being "Mormon" and "LDS" (SUD in Español).  It´s far too common for members to say, "I´m Mormon."   No, you’re not.  Mormon died after abridging most of the history of the Nephites.  You are a saint in the latter days to help prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord.  Here we usually just say that we are, "La Iglesia de Jesucristo"  because there is no other church that uses His name here.

I AM SO DARN EXCITED FOR THOSE BOYS!!!! WOOOOOHHOOOOO!!!! And Peter got the mission I wanted. Haha.

I am losing myself in the work here and the days just fly by.  Keep going and never look back.  Perhaps take a glance to the past to remember the good and to keep from repeating the bad, but FORWARD is where salvation lies.
