Crazy that transfers are tomorrow!! I´m excited to
see if I stay or if I go. I was thinking this week and decided that I
would really like to stay here one more transfer but I feel like I am
going to leave. But, I will find out tomorrow.
The carnival was a nice
break since we had to be inside early, but nothing really happened.
There was just some big parade in centro. Also, this week we got our
hands on a bible from the Jehovah´s Witness and it was interesting to
see the things that they have changed, and they have just completely
removed 14 verses. But, in order to keep the references in tact, the
verse still appears and just has a giant dash like nothing ever existed
there...weird. And, Elder Cannon was sick this week but we had a ton of
work to do and he still wanted to leave and do work and we still did,
except for one morning that we took off in order for him to rest some
and take some medicine. But, he feels fine now.
And, this week we had a
family home evening with la familia Mercado and la familia Gomez (The
family of Mauricio and Raul and Eduardo came) and that went really well
and we had a nice night and a good lesson together. And, Celeste, the
sister of Mauricio, and Manuel have been reading the Book of Mormon a
ton. They each read like 20 chapters this week so that was really good.
And, we did service this week by cutting the hair of Mauricio and then
of his Dad (Sorry I don´t have pictures) and then we spent 3 hours
digging a 7 foot hole that was 6 feet wide for Raul and Eduardo´s Dad
since they are making a bathroom, and I guess that´s how they do it here
haha. So, that was really tiring but still fun! (And we got to be in
normal clothes :D haha) But, that´s pretty much all the exciting stuff
that happened this week and now we just wait until transfers to see what
happens.
But, the last thing I wanted to share is another quote from
President Gordon B. Hinckley that reads, "Keep faith with the best that
is in you. Your own constant self-improvement will become as a polar
star to those with whom you associate. They will remember longer what
they saw in you than what they heard from you. Your attitude, your point
of view can make such a tremendous difference." I love this! If we can
just go through life and try to be better and show that to others and be
the most that our potential allows, then people will always remember us
as good people. So, we should always strive for this type of excellence
and impact in our lifes.
Thank you for the emails and I hope to hear
from you all soon!!
Les Quiero,
Elder Joshua Clarine
