Halfway marker

So i just passed the halfway marker this week. Newbies came in and i felt old. Our "oldies" leave monday and i felt young. And to think this is at most a 3 week difference....
This has been the craziest 3 weeks of my life. And probably will be hard to rival in the future. 
And through it all i have learned one thing. 

TRUST IN THE LORD.
actually, don't just trust. GIVE everything to the lord. Like the little stream as it went on its way giving, giving all the day. Because wherever it went the grass grew greener still. 

This is the motto my sunday school class loved and i'll share it with you all because i have found that it is probably the most important thing any person can learn. 

We call it the Watermelon theory;)
This life (in comparison to the Lord's eternal plan for us) is but a blip. And in that context its crazy to think of all the important things we need to do while in this life. But at the same time its incredibly reassuring to know that no matter what trial, prueba, desafio, challenge, sadness, pain, grief, and whatever else our life (our earthly life) may throw at us, if we look to the future (our ETERNAL future) We will find joy in knowing that this pain not only temporary but only a blip in our blip of a life. So whenever you feel down, or sad, or pained. Remember the word Watermelon. Why? cuz its random.
and you will remember why we are here, and what lies ahead of us if we look to it.

On another note. some people sprayed our door with a fire extingshor. (I CANT SPELL IN ENGLISH ANYMORE!) and that was fun to clean up. anyways.

i cant remember much else... the days blur together...I am currently teaching 3-5 investigators in spanish daily...The food is good...a guy in my district already gained 10 pounds....i stayed the same...I love music... My friend Leki i mean Elder Mahe and I put together a musical number we auditioned for the big devotionals they have here... Elder Anderson of the Qourum of the Twelve came tuesday. He was epic... Argentina is going to the finals!

I love you all!!!
Elder Siebers
