The Light at the End of the Tunnel

This week has probly been one of my hardest weeks spiritually. This entire week was just full of trails, and spiritual tiredness. 




The Tunnel
This week was like a super long tunnel. Its started light, but as I continued into the tunnel it got darker. Its hard walking in the dark. You're constantly walking into rocks, walls, maybe even some night creatures that can see in the dark. Until you see a light at the end, and everything starts getting lighter. This tunnel example is a prime way to explain how I felt this week. I am currently walking towards the light at the end of the tunnel. 

The darkness I talk about is... not having success, no new people to teach, members going inactive, members complaining to us about other members, just to name a few. All of this put a huge weight on pur shoulders, it felt like we were holding up the entire Ward. Because we don't have a Bishop, everybody comes to us to tell their things, and ask for help. At one point we couldn't even get out of bed.(Don't worry we got out anyways)

We really had to learn how to walk in faith, and be guided by the Holy Spirit.

We started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when we went to church. We didnt have any friends, or any converts. We saw it in the members, we finally had weekly coordination meeting. Seeing this was the best thing I have seen the entire week. We finally started receiving support from the members. From there the light gets brighter, we start finding more Friends, and baptized!

This spiritual tiredness did not come from my comp, I still had a ton of fun during the week



Transfers
Tranfers have come around, so that's why I'm sending this on Tuesday. Sadly my Old comp Elder Carter is going home. His mom has cancer, and she asked him to come home because the cancer is getting worse. So I will automatically be getting a new comp.

My new comp is named Elder Walker from Arizona! He's got one more transfer then me. Im still Zone leader here in Villa Nueva.



Spiritual Thought
2 Nephi 26:11
11: For the Spirit of the Lord will not always strive with man. And when the Spirit ceaseth to strive with man then cometh speedy destruction, and this grieveth my soul.

Thanks for reading my email, it was more on the spiritual side this week.

  How is everyone doing? What's good over there in your neighborhood! I hope you did something enjoyable! This week was 100% different from the week before, and it's not in a bad way. All thanks to my companion, Elder Barrientos. Elder Barrientos How do I explain my comp... Just picture my best friend The baked bean (Matthew Bernal)before his mission, but just short. For others who don't know who the GOAT, the Baked Bean is, it's ok. Instead of explaining him like the Baked Bean, I will explain him differently. He is super Haz, super funny, always quoting memes, and always looking for a good time.        He has about 3 months left in the mission, so he is a little trunky, but im keeping him in check!    The reason why it is all super different is because he is from the city, And im from the farm. He has spent his entire mission in Córdoba capital. I have spent my entire mission in pueblitos outside of Córdoba Capital. Which working in the 2 are complet...

MAGGOTS!!!!

  What is up fam, How's your life going? Not very many interesting things happened This week, So I'm going to try my best to keep this one interesting! First things first, OUR FRIEND VERONICA ENTERED THE WATERS OF BAPTISM!!! Veronica is the mom of the 2 kids that got baptized last week! The water was really cold, like glacier cold! Straight ice bath if you know what I mean! She hopped in the water with no reaction. She came out if the water super happy! We passed by her house later that day, to see how she felt and how the expirience was. She told us that the water felt like a hot tub, That it was really warm! I was freezing, every member stuck their hand in and thought it was freezing! Definently a cool expirience. Now for the title of the email. Woke up Wednesday morning to....... A BUNCH OF MAGGOTS!!! Luckily not on me, but all over the floor! As I parkoured over to the broom, and started sweeping! Left and right those little buggers were getting sweeper up and thrown off th...

Merry Christmas Yall

Feliz navidad my ninjas. This email will be a bit longer then the others because I didn't have a Pday on Monday. This week was very different from all my others. Not the work, but the companion. First was Transfers. Transfers took place Tuesday of last week. Sadly Elder Maia had to go to another city called San Francisco. I got myself a Gringo. He is named Elder Miller. Even though he is technically my step-dad I am still a foot taller then him, And im 6'6. He was born in Utah but moved to Wisconsin, and has lived there his whole life. He said his favorite thing to do is watch sports, and listen to music. We have had some banger moments together. Another fun thing that happened this week is the Christmas ward party. They call it, La Cena De Navidad. Elder Miller and I arrived early to help set up. Apparently they had set up a nativity presentation for the members and friends that were there. They brang out real sheep, chickens, and rabbits, to be apart of the nativity. Some kid...
