Another week has gone by, my mission is FLYING by. its great to hear from you all! I got a letter from EVERYONE of you! thank you so much! its means a lot. I'm so grateful to have an amazing family. My comp and I are doing great. Its been the biggest blessing and I'm learning a ton. I miss having "me" time not gonna lie, it'll be nice to be able to relax once this is all done, but for now, its game time. I have never been so tired in my life and sleep time is SO nice. My trainer goes home in a few weeks, and I'm gonna miss him a ton b/c he's been my best friend, not to mention he was my buddy at BYU. Its kinda hard seeing all my friends home already or going home (from missions), I was thinking a little about Life after the mission (which I try not to do all that often) but I realized that all my friends (from BYU) will have been home for a year already and already in the groove of everything, or married. My life will literally be so different, especially with friends from home ( Garrett, Danny...etc) b/c I'll be in Utah and working and I'll have to grow up some, which probably means less trips home, surfing...etc. it makes me way sad actually, but its ok...its time to move on and change is good. I just have to use my faith and know that God has a plan for me, and that everything will ok and it'll all work out.
The weather here is playing games with me, its FINALLY warming up! GOODBYE WINTER! I'm so excited, I'm OVER the cold. It was funny, the past few days the sun has been out and is melting everything and pretty much the Nile River runs down every single street thanks to horrible drainage systems, if any. Things are going well and we are actually having some investigators! I'm really excited to see what happens this transfer. We had a PMG class that we started in this branch and it went really well, the kids were getting way into it. Hopefully the momentum picks up here and stays strong. I'm still blown away at the strength of the youth here. K well, here's my little advice for the week, and it comes from something that my comp's high school coach told him. He asked him if you need to have any certain abilities or talents in order to bulldoze a building, the answer is NO. Anyone can take a beautiful bldg and knock it down with a big metal ball, not hard at all....Then his question was "what kinda of person does it take to create and build that beautiful bldg?" The answer is, a special person. not just any one can do something like that. So when you are out with your friends or someone starts gossiping about someone, just remember that anyone old person can say something mean or crude (or whatever to that effect) to tear or break someone down, but its takes a special person to build someone up. Have a great week everybody! thanks for your prayers
