Pájaro...

Well, this has certainly been one of the most difficult weeks of my life! As i siad last week, Elder Cedeño left, so it´s pretty much been me leading the work in our area for the last few days.  The stress is going to kill me, I swear! I feel a bit like a baby bird that´s been pushed out of the nest... I´m still not flying, but i hope that I´m getting there.  One other thing is that my companion doesn´t know any English... hahaha! I asked him how much he knows, and he said below basic, so... *sigh* anyways, the work has been going on, just a little more intense. The only part that was a bit different this week was that there were elections here in Argentina, so Sunday, we had to stay in the apartment all day.  It was alright, because i got a ton of extra time to study the scriptures!!! But ya, Así es... 

Well, despite the difficulties of this week, we´ve had a few miracles.  One was after one of our investigators failed to show up to their appointment.  We weren´t exactly sure what to do, because we´d already exhausted our backup plans, but then, surely enough, two members of our ward came walking around the corner.  they had some extra time on their hands, so we did splits with them, and got in some extra lessons with members! So ya, that was a pretty cool experience! Wish you could´ve been there! :) 

Honestly, right now, the only thing keeping me going forward is my faith.  This is nowhere close to easy right now.  It really is overwhelming at times, but, I try to remind myself that through these adversities, the Lord is working with us, and that this (no matter how hard) is where i´m supposed to be.  I´ve learned a ton about prayer.  We can always use prayer and fast with a sincere heart to draw nearer to the Lord, and apply the Atonement more fully in our lives daily.  Con una semana más en frente de mí, espero que yo vaya a mantener mi diligencia y visión, y que pueda recordar mi Salvador, y utilizar su expiación constantemente. Sin Él, no podemos hacer esto, pero con Él, podemos hacer esto, y cualquier cosa que desee Dios.
