Hello everyone! Another week has flown by out here in Catamarca! It has been really hot this week so I am a sweatin awayyyy! This last week was pretty good! Elder Scott and I have been grinding on following the council from our APs and talking to everyone! It was hard but it was good for me to be a better missionary for the Lord!
Well not a whole lot of news to put on here! We had to stop teaching a few people which is always hard to do! It is hard to have people keep commitments out here. But I know the Lords timing is always perfect so they will have another chance with things.
I went on exchanges again this week with Elder Gonzales! He is from Mendoza and doesn't really speak much English so I got some good practice with the Spanish with him hahah.
Elder Thorpe is about to leave which makes me SAD! He is another Elder that lives in my house and we have been getting along so well so it will be very hard to see him go!
It is crazy how fast time flies by! I have been out in Argentina for a month already! I still feel like the stupid greeny (which I am) But it is way cool to think about all the new guys who will be coming in next week because this transfer is already almost over!
Well I got a spiritual thought that I want to throw in this email. For me, the mentality of staying happy has been a hard concept to grasp. Being depressed and hard on myself has been a struggle for me, but I have something I want to add in this for ya'll. Hang on. Hang on to every belief that you have, even if it is small because that is what gets me through the hard times, the struggles, and the disappointments. Here are some of mine.
I know that we have a Savior who LIVES! I have seen it out here because I have seen people CHANGE and there is no possible way to do that other than through the miraculous atonement of Jesus Christ. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I know it because it has pulled me out of those dark holes and has filled that heart break with hope. I know that we have a prophet who leads and guides this church today along with his apostles. I know that they love all of us too. They know how hard life is, how much Satan breaks hearts, but even better they know how to help us out of that.
With that being said I have a challenge for you. Whenever it gets hard, whenever you want to quit, whenever you think you are not good enough. STOP and think, would the Savior ever want me to think that way of myself? I have the answer for you and it is NO! The Savior loves you! The Savior knows you because He knows how you feel. He went through everything that you are going through and he didn't have too. He did it because He loves you. Please hang on for me!
D&C 6:36 Look unto me in every thought, doubt not, fear not.
I love all of you! Your prayers are felt and I cannot thank you all enough for everything! Stay happy! Stay positive!
I will talk to ya'll soon!
Love, Elder Weese
