We're All Just Tryin' Here

Hola all!!

So this was an uneventful week in regards to fun things or anything like that happening. But i still have a few things to say!!

Before my mission I looked at missionaries as pretty perfect people. or at least way more perfect than I was. I thought I would go through some magic transformation when I became a missionary that would make me a better person, but that didnt really happen. And I just realized something. Missionaries are just a bunch of young adults doing the best they can. And then I realized something else, every member of this church and everyone on this planet are just people doing the best they can!!! There is no reason to ever feel down on yourself if you mess up because we ALL do. Thats why this is a plan of repentance and why we have Jesus Christ. Anyway thats all super obvious to some people im sure, but its finally starting to click again in my naive mind. We really all are just trying here!! hahaha

I love paraguay. I really do. I love this gospel, I love the hard things, I love the good things. Thank you for your love and support and KEEP THE PRAYERS COMING. also so many of you still read these emails i am shocked. lol!!!

keep looking for the good in yourselves and in others, and when you run into some bad, remember thats what Jesus Christ is there for. and let him lift you and love you.... and keep trying!!!

THANKS ALL!! sorry for no pictures. I have a few but nothing much.

ALSO FELIZ DIA DEL NINO!! they have so many holidays here. Happy Kids day! is what that means haha. tell all the kids I love them and I owe them some sort of present when I am back one day. Even if its just a high five. lol!!!

have a good week all!!
