You gotta have fun in the work as well..
Dear Family,
Yes
mom, I got the package, but not the letter nor the card. Unless it was
the card/letter in the package, then sì. One recomendation for next time
(haha, there won`t be a next time), please don`t send jelly. 2 reasons.
1. there`s jam/jelly/marmelada here. 2. It exploded over everything. It
was really sticky. I had to wash everything, which felt weird washing
ketchup packets... wait, why were there ketchup packets? I swear you
guys just took out some of the old condiments from the food cabnet that
you don`t use and sent them here to poor Bolivia.
For my birthday, I just have appointments all day long from people inviting me to eat. Let`s hope I don`t get that fat.
This
week, people called my companionship, the crippleds. As you see in the
photo I sent, I ankle is bad and my companion`s arm is bad. Everyone
thought we got in a fight with each other or on the streets. I`m fine
now, but what happened was the same thing that happend in Sucre. I
twisted my ankle and the same part was swollen and a little purple.
Looks like I won`t play soccer for the rest of my mission (haha 1
month). My companion has tendonitis... yeah, don`t know what that is,
but if it doesn`t heal in 3 weeks, there`re going to do surgery.
I had an interview with my president because my
temple recommend expired. He made me feel good as he said that any
people have respect for me in the mission and that I should be happy.
Then he made me sign the recommend and then gave me a lecture for the
next 10 min on how I need to change my signature. He showed me the
signatures of the apostles and asked me which one I could`t read. Then
he asked me which ones didn`t have their middle or first inicial. There
are Hundreds of Craig Walkers. I am practicing now, but it made me think
of an important doctrine. Jesus Christ is our example. We should do
what he does with nothing varying. Many people grow beards and say that
Jesus had a beard. But who are the witnesses and those who have seen
Christ today? The Prophets and Apostles. None of them have beards. My
mission president once said that if we want priesthood power, we need to
act and look how the apostles are. Interesting right?
I hope we are all trying to do what the prophet
said, we need to ```Rescatar´´ or in English, help people re-activate.
It sounds better in Spanish because it also means rescue. This will also
help us find new people to teach for the missionaries. One cool
experience that we had this week that could help Dad was an invasion. In
the Ward council meeting. We talked about an inactive family whose kids
are my converts. In that family, it includes the Elders quorum, relief
society, young single adults, young men, and the primary. All the
leaders of those groups, along with the bishop and the missionary work,
went to this family as an invasion. We had a family home evening of
about 20 people thursday night. What love, what success! We`re going to
continue with this idea going from family to family. 1 by 1. Slowing
down, focusing on 1 at a time will help us hasten the Lord`s work.
I`m going to sum up what Cameron said in his first line. The secret to success is ENTHUSIAM
