So we had transfers (cambios) and just as I had assumed, I am staying in Paipote. I will continue working with my companion Elder Estes and finish his training. He is super awesome and I am super excited to work with him another next transfer.
There is a scripture that really describes the mission. It is found in Helaman 12:3,
3 And thus we see that except the Lord doth chasten his people with many afflictions, yea, except he doth visit them with death and with terror, and with famine and with all manner of pestilence, they will not remember him.
I have seen this a lot in the mission. We, as missionaries, experience many difficulties and trials to help us grow. We go through hardships so we can remember Him, so we can trust in Him. This past week our baptism fell through. Because he was under 18, his mom made the decision that she didn't want her son to be baptized. It was hard because I was super excited to see Bastian get baptized. We have been working with him for a while and have really become friends.
But, like in Helaman 12:3, we don't understand everything. Sometimes we are a little prideful, caught up in our own success. And without the help of God through trials we will never truly be successful.
Les amo! Elder Jones
