Hey family and Friends! This week was great!
I want to start out talking a little about transfers....
I AM GOING TO AN ISLAND!!!!! I am so excited! Their is an island here in the mission that has 4 elders and 2 sisters on it called San Pedro and I am going there! I am very happy about going there. Its beautiful! Everyone here in Belize calls is the "pretty island". Its going to be just great. I will send some pictures next week for sure.
Also curve ball is that my comp is going to be my trainer Elder Chavez! I am pumped for that too cause he was my favorite companion that I have had so far in my mission and now were going to be comps again. I would have never expected what happened with this transfer but I am not complaining I am very excited!
As far as this week goes there really isnt that much to report on. I was pretty stressed out about changes so that was horrible but I have learned how to control stress more so everything was fine. I feel like the mission sometimes is stressful and when those times pass it makes you stronger and able to handle stress better.
Life is crazy. I see more and more the longer I live just how quickly and frequently life changes. In this world and life we gotta live the gospel. Because the gospel doesnt change and it blesses us. When we live the gospel we strive to keep the commandments and God gives us blessings. We are promised blessings when we live the gospel and keep the commandments. So just live the gospel and be happy!
I love all of you. Thanks for all of your love and support. I love my mission and love serving my Heavenly Father and His children. I know that the gospel is true and that it is perfect and that it blesses us. Accept and live the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you do so you will be happy.
