This week was full of ups and downs. Parts of the week I felt unstoppable, but then God would humble me and give me a difficult day. It reminded me of a Mormon Message called, "The Will of God."
Sometimes, we think that we know our future. We think that we have everything figured out. But we don't. We are like plants in the garden of life and God is our Gardener.
Sometimes we want to grow to become what we want to be. God knows who we need to be and who we can become. So many times, He "cuts us down." He puts trials, afflictions, and difficulties in our path. He does this to help us grow, to help us become. I feel throughout this week God has "cut me down," and helped me grow. I know it's helping me become a better missionary.
My Spanish has really grown. I still has a long way to go, but I can really tell it's better. Understanding was the hardest part when I started, and I feel like I'm slowly starting to understand people. I have really felt and seen the hand of God helping me with my Spanish.
We had another baptism last week for a 14 year old named Alexander Mamani. It is truly a blessing to see people accept the gospel and join the church.
This church is true. If you are going through difficulties, pray. God hears you. He is our Father and we are His children. He wants to hear from us, and he is willing to pour blessings upon us when we do.
Love, Elder Jones
