MAY 18, 2015

I just wrote an email to my Spanish teacher thanking her for the good job she did in Spanish! No puedo pensar. I hope everyone had a great week because I certainly did! We met more of the members here and a family that we moved in two days after we moved in is starting to become one of our better friend families and we are taking them to an appointment on tuesday! When my companion and I got here everything was pretty barren. But as we continue to work we continue to find more people willing to talk to us! We met a family this week and the wife has already committed to becoming baptized and we are excited to teach them again this week! 

Later on in the week Elder Hernandez got sick. He had a really bad fever and some other ailments. It actually started out as just a headache but as the day progressed he got worse. We were able to give him a blessing when he began shaking uncontrollably and although the doctors don't know what it is he is back at full health and we are going hard in the paint!

 But in the spare time I obtained while he was sleeping I was able to read "Our Search For Happiness" by M. Russell Ballard! It is a really good book about what the LDS church is about and defines with clarity the core beliefs. I recommend reading it if you haven't already! I also came to realize some very personal things that I want to become. I realized that all we really need is Charity and all else will fall into place after that. It is my earnest desire to receive the gift of charity and be able to use it to the best of my ability wherever I can. I often fail at this purpose but one day I'll make it! I hope y'all have the best of weeks and I plan on it too!
