Hola mis amigos y familia!! I hope that this letter finds
you guys all well and enjoying life! Another week down here in the promise land
and just enjoying the experience and culture more and more. Yes, it’s hard
being away from you all but se que cuando I return all will be good! If there
is ever anything I can do for you guys please let me know and I’ll do my best!
Thanks for the love and support.
So this week, once again, absolutely FLEW by! Teaching a lot
y haciendo mucho servicio! This week we did some work con nuestro machetti. We
cut down trees and brought the wood to moms who are single and have young kids
and really can’t do it. So that was good, We cut down dead trees and then
distributed it to a family with six kids and she is a single mom. A lot of
homes here don’t have fathers... the culture in that aspect is very different. So
the majority of our service is for people we know or that we are
teaching.
We had the opportunity this past week to go to the temple.
What a bueno experiencia! It was a lot of fun! I was with my friend Elder W.
and a few other guys that are really cool in my zone. One was on a professional
soccer player on a team from Mexico. Elder S. – he’s a stud. He was in the
states for a while training for some Nike team. It’s always good to share
sports stories with him and Elder W. After the temple we went to
Wendy´s... I thought I was in heaven LOL! It was amazing!
Tambien, this week I gave like 4 free haircuts to people who
can’t afford it. So who knows… maybe I’ll be opening up Barber Mariano when i
get home? LOL!!! I am just messing around. But it’s so much fun and nice to be
able to help people out in very small ways but to them it means the world. The
people here are so so so humble and thankful it’s not even funny. Every single
day I learn more about how to be humble and what life really is about.
The time is absolutely flying by! Crazy fast! This week
though I spent a lot of time again studying Chris Like attributes and also how
nuestro vidas are on the timetable of the Lord. I found a really good scripture
in The Bible in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. This scripture talks about our lives. I
want you guys all to read it. Everything happens for a reason - and in the time
that it happens for a reason as well. God has a plan for us and sometimes when
we don’t understand things, it’s all for a purpose. This scripture really
grabbed my attention and I spent a lot of time thinking about it. It
applies to each and every one of us. Take a quick look at it. Think and ponder
it and its meaning in your life.
All in all guys, enjoying this ride that I am on! Don’t
worry about me, all is well. I continue to think about my family and friends
but I know that you guys are doing good things. Keep up the good work! I love
you guys each! I love you Gi, Mom and Dad. Continue to strive to be the best
every day and make smart and correct choices. CTR. Gi - your a stud man. Keep up the good work with
sports and school. Study hard. Success in school brings success on the field. I
promise you. They are related. I love you Gi. You are an example to me. Always
be an example to your friends at school and your teammates. Trust me, that’s
what it is all about. Serve others.
I love you guys. Have a great week. Put your best foot
forward and aim high in all that you do. Loves!
Con mucho amor.
Elder long!
