So this week I learned quite a bit! A little interesting but pretty good stuff. This week we had a meeting for all the district leaders and it was pretty dad gum awesome. I really enjoyed the learning and the fact that I learned how to make a swan out of an apple. I am enjoying mexico right now. . . . . Because it´s not that hot now it´s raining all the time. And. . . . I . . . . Love it. I was asked to give a blessing to one hermana in my district and she said that spanish or english would be good but asked for english. . . . I couldn´t do it. It was SO HARD. All I talk is Spanish and that´s it! Like what in the world. I have a warning that I probably won´t be able to speak english when I get back home but it´ll all come in time. . . . . I hope.

I can´t really remember what happened this week besides the fact that we worked hard and got everything done we needed done. But I have a pretty good spiritual thought this week. So I was reading in Hechos . . . . . Acts sorry. But in there it says a story about Paul. He was jailed and was being accused and beaten. He was then shown a dream that God needed his testimony in Rome. I was thinking that God was going to open all the doors and let him go free. But that is not what happened! There was a group of people that weren´t going to sleep or eat with him still alive. A person that was a friend of Paul let the judge know and the judge sent him to Rome. . . . . He was still in jail but he was in Rome! And it turns out that the new judge was interested in what Paul had to say. The ways of God will never be known by anyone except the prophet. All we can do is know that he has a plan and that this plan will be perfect for each and every one of us. We just have to be willing to submit to him and to answer his call to be a disciple of Christ. I know that even though I don´t know the path that God has set I just have to put my boots to the line and keep walking. I must ACT and DO in faith and know that God knows. I don´t need to know only that someone that is more perfect than me does. I testify of this. That God cares what we do and he won´t abandon us. Only we abandon him. And sometimes that feels really bad and if it didn´t we wouldn´t know that we abandoned him or we don´t need to do anything more. I love my savior. I love God and I love the plan and the love for everyone he has :D

HAVE a good week everyone
