Well I don´t really know what to write about this week. I
think the big thing of this week was Zone Conference. The talks were
based on PMG (Preach my Gospel) ch.2 How we can study more efficiently. I honestly have
forgotten a lot about it but good thing I´ve got two full pages of
notes. I just remember afterwards how inadequate and weak I felt. I want
SOOOOO much to do everything right and to give all my heart, might,
mind, and strength to the Lord. I don´t think I realized before the
mission just how difficult that can be. I really want to be the best
missionary I can be but I always feel something holding me back. I talk
to Hna. Windous in the streets a lot and mention all my weaknesses and
the things I could do better. She just turns and says "you´re too hard
on yourself." I think I always have been. I´m learning right now how to
have patience. I always thought I had patience and out of all the
Christlike attributes that was the last one I needed to work on, but I
didn´t realize how I need to have patience with myself. I´m not perfect
and never will be. Everything comes in it´s own time and it it´s own
way. That´s a big part of why they say line upon line, precept upon
precept. As I look back I can see improvement I´ve made and I know that
throughout my mission I will continue to improve. I can´t expect to do
it all at once or to all the sudden in one day know everything. On thing
President Laycock always says it "Al Proximal Nivel" (to the next
level). Usually he follows it by saying don´t compare yourself against
others but just try to improve yourself. Improvement is gradual. But If
we can gradually improve one thing at a time then we can gradually reach
where we want to be. He also Always Stresses the importance of making
goals. That´s something I need to work on a lot. I always say I want to
do something but unless I make a goal and WRITE it down I usually don´t
do it.
Sorry I don´t really have more to say. just not a ton happened this week.
I love you all and miss you more than ever!!!!!
Have a GREAT week!!!!!
