I had a very fun accident this week. I almost got run over
by a car but All went well. I tore a huge hole in my pants. but I just ripped
them down the seem and We have a member who is Called Mamita Lily She fixes all
the clothes she stole my shoes once and had them repaired. She is awesome.
Its been a great week, There have been so many changes. We
have not only experienced changes in companions but many of our investigators
are encountering new problems and challenges in their lives. We found out that
a recent converts dad has started to have problems with the word of wisdom
because of marital difficulties. The amazing thing about the gospel is that
there is an answer for everything. We want brother Jaime to go to church
because I know that he would find the friends and support necessary. Its
amazing how god lets us pass through adversity to help strengthen us physical
spiritually and morally. I know that the adversity that we face in the mission
is just a way of showing how much confidence the lord has in us as
missionaries.
This week I have been studying adversity and how much it is related with patience. I love the definition in Preach my gospel for patience...
Patience is the capacity to endure delay, trouble, opposition, or suffering without becoming angry, frustrated, or anxious. It is the ability to do God’s will and accept His timing. When you are patient, you hold up under pressure and are able to face adversity calmly and hopefully. Patience is related to hope and faith—you must wait for the Lord’s promised blessings to be fulfilled.
In these few days that I have been with Elder Otsuka, I have been able to see the great gift of patience that he has. He has never lost patience with me, but patience is not just responding to adversity with faith and calmness. I have always been able to control my temper but Admire greatly the hope that my companion has in situations that have little probability of realization. I am focusing a lot on developing more patience.
I do not know what awaits us in the upcoming change, however both Elder Otsuka and I will be prepared for whatever challenges the lord sees fit for us.
