Hey everyone,
I
don't have that much time because all the missionaries that usually
email at libraries have to come here so there are like 20 people
waiting. This week was really good. We had zone conference in Huntington
Beach and I got to baptize the man that I taught whose name is William.
I think I've talked a little bit about him. He's really awesome.
Zone conference was probably the last time that
President Bubert will speak to us before he leaves. I think he leaves in
a little over a month. He has been a really good mission president and I
hope President Tew will be just as good or better. He has a pretty
stressful "job" not that he's paid.
I've been thinking about what an experience I'm
having and how I'm learning and growing so much. I'm grateful for not
only the knowledge I'm gaining about Christ through reading the
scriptures and teaching but also the work ethic I'm building. I've never
worked this much in my life. I've never had anyone tell me I'm going to
hell or yell at me before my mission and I know I'm growing a lot. This
world needs more people who are willing to stand up for values and work
hard and I hope I can be one of those people. I'm so glad to be a part
of people's lives here and forget about myself. I'm so much happier
because I care so much less about myself than I did when I left. Who
knew that to be happy you just have to not think about yourself? So stop
thinking about yourself and be happy haha that's my advice for this
week. Besides, when we help people is when we feel God's love the most.
I hope you all have a great week!
Love
Silas
