Howdy everybody! How was your week this week? I hope all is well!
Well as you can see by the title, this week was really hard. One of the hardest weeks of my mission to be honest, but let's start off with the positive! Pday was really fun!! We had a zone pday and played a lot of fútbol together (sorry if I didn't talk much last week, zone pday was why haha) we did a lot of game! Mainly gringos against latinos, (I'm sure you all know how that went haha) but I will say I am ready to play a game of fútbol against any of yall! I've been practicing down here in the land of the world cup Champs! Speaking of world cups Champs, how is it having Messi in Miami!?
Another positive thing is that I am healthy! I've been working out for the first time in my mission haha! I have been out of shape for a long time now so I've been working on fixing that!
But ya like I said this week was tough. At the start of the week, Sol Chavez (who was going to get baptized) basically told us that she changed her mind. She doesn't want to be baptized anymore. Our other friend on date has been struggling really bad! There is a lot more to the list that I won't throw in the email haha, it was just a bad week that's all I can say!
I will say though, that last night I had a cool experience! I just got done fighting with my comp, I went to my study desk and grabbed my journal (which I am horrible at keeping, but thanks to my mom I have been trying to keep writing haha, just for her!) I sat there and wrote out all of the things that were going bad in my life, but then all of the blessing. My eyes were opened to how blessed I really am! The video from our prophet came to my mind, "the healing power of gratitude" (I recommend that yall watch that today!) Our prophet has gone through many trials in his 98 years of life! But still was able to see the hand of the Lord in it all!
I promise you all that you have so many blessings in your life right now! I know that God loves each of you. He is mindful of you. He knows your struggles, what bugs you, He knows it all. I promise you that as you count the blessings in your life you will feel peace in your heart and mind. We have many scripture examples of people you past through hard times, but still knew that they were blessed. "I Nephi having been born of goodly parents.....and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days...."
I love you all! I hope you know it's true! Have a wonderful week!
Love, Élder Weese
