Striving to be Selfless

Hello everyone, hope you’re all doing well. This week was super great. We were working like rabid kittens. Ya thats right, uncageable, rabid kittens!!!! Jaja, sorry, just trying to entertain myself. What I mean to say is that we were talking with a lot of people, and teaching the sweet news of the gospel with everyone we could.

Remember that talent show thing? Well it got postponed because there was a death in the family of a member, I think that makes sense. Anyway, a bunch of members came together to comfort the family, but man, the passing of a loved one is always super sad and hard. Lucky for us, God has given us His plan, His plan of happiness. He’s promised us that if we obey His commandments and follow the example of His son Jesus Christ, we can live with our loved ones again. What a promise!!!!

Mirta and Lidiana will have their baptismal interviews this week to see if they’re ready to enter the waters! Hope it all goes well. They’re the cutest old ladies ever, jaja.

We were invited to the birthday party of a member’s husband on Friday. The man’s name is Santos, super sweet guy, but the homie was pretty much drunk the whole time, so we were just chilling with all the members on the other side of the room lol. I later found out that Santos, who isn’t a member, requested that all the members of the church in Media Agua to be there, because he likes the way he feels when he’s around them. Granted, he probably wasn’t feeling all that much after 12 glasses of wine lol, but it’s the thought that counts. I ended up singing happy birthday to him in English because I felt like it’s what my dad would have done. Shout out to my old man!!!! He was so happy after, jaja.

On a more serious note, I’ve recently discovered just how selfish of a person I am. There were countless times this last week when I was just thinking about me. My money, my food, my clothes, my my my my my my goodness!!!! Anyway, I’ve been trying to change that, and I’d like to apologize to my family, and everybody else if there was a time when I was selfish in any way. You can send me some hate mail if you want. ;)

I’m loving it here in Media Agua. The work is progressing, and my testimony is too. Make sure y’all are spending your time doing things that really matter. There are a lot of distractions in today’s world. Make sure you’re giving time to the Lord.

Thanks for your prayers, have a great week!!!!
