But whats really crazy is that I have delved into this life so fully. so much so that i forgot to mention the baptism we had last week. Rosa . And the one we had this week. Victor. These people are some of my best friends. They are absolutely incredible. Its so fun to see these people that i finally have gotten to know and love start taking these big steps and little choices to change there lives. I know how much these steps are going to help them. The hardest part is getting them to see that from the other side of it.
We are working with on average about 24 different progressing/half progressing investigators per week. This means at least 6 lessons a day as well as 4 hours of study and meeting with recent converts and less actives. And we still find time to cook awesome fry-bread egg sandwiches at night.
Share the gospel. Share what you know. If you don´t believe in any one thing enough to share it, then you better reevaluate what you´re believing in. Or at least learn more. Truth is like light. once obtained it cannot be hid. It will automatically manifest itself to the world.
And even if after all you can do. If you still question your beliefs, your sources of trust, your actions. Follow this one simple test.
WORK
"and by their fruits they shall be known"
Work at it in every aspect of your life. I can testify that if you want to know the truth of something. Living it 24/7 will prove it right or wrong. Their have been hard times. (people throwing rocks, slamming doors, people hiding from us, people hurting each other and making our job a million times harder.) and without a perspective of what i´m doing. These would definitely be too much.
My companion always teaches one thing to people. "¡Busque la buena!"
(look for the good) If you look for the bad you WILL find it. because no of us our perfect. But if you look for the good you will also find it. because we are all different and can learn from each other in this way. Plus God´s plan for us is called the Plan of Salvation. as well as the Plan of Happiness. If you´re not happy at any moment. Switch from your plan to His. And you will find the comfort, perspective, and strength you need to be happy.
Elder Siebers,
With love from Argentina!
