Hello family and friends, this week was a really great week! I am really loving and enjoying my mission right now. We have done a lot of really good work here in this area. by the way if you guys would like to look this place up you can, look up
Benque Viejo Belize
It should come up, its this town with about 8000 people thats close to the boarder between belize and guatemala. Its beautiful. But anyways we have done a good job here. We have found every single member of this area except 1 house we havent found yet. We have been looking and looking and looking for these people and we have finally found pretty much all of them. Its cause all of the members here are less active. Their are literally less than 4 people u could say are completely active. So we work a lot with the members here too, we visit all of them to help them out. Everyone here needs help. People just need help. SO we are here to help them. Every week we visit all day to help these people feel loved and to come closer to Christ.
So now I am going to share an experience with you guys.
1.) SO we were doing some contacting and we started talking to this guy who was like half waydrunk but still very aware of what he was doing thats why I say half way. And so we start talking to this guy and he tells me and my companion that we dont know if what we are saying is true, that its just our opinion. That we dont know if these things are true or not and that because its just our opinion that we dont know if this is what we should be doing and if it is what God really does want us to do. So what I did is i looked this guy straight in the face and told him I know exactly what I am doing here, and I know without a doubt that these things are true and that I am exactly where God wants me to be right now. It was a cool experience for me.
Guys I know that Jesus lives. I know that He loves us. That our Heavenly father lives and loves us too. I know that our Heavenly Father wants us to be happy, and the only way we can do it without lying or fooling ourselves into thinking we feel otherwise is through following the Gospel of Jesus Christ. "God is the happiest person I have ever talked to"(prayer). I am quoting that by the way cause I like it and just thought of that. And I know that God wants us to be as happy as He is. So we do it by keeping his commandments, being patient with ourselves, and consistently giving the effort to improve and be more like Him. Life is a time for us to enjoy. I plan on looking back on my life with beautiful memories of the things that I have done. Why would I want to live my life any other way? I would like to let everyone know just how happy of a person I have become. I have learned that we are not defined by our imperfections. We are defined by what we choose to be defined by. So choose what is going to define you.
I hope all of you have a wonderful week!
