I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but the temple here was closed for all of August, so we hadn't been able to attend it until two days ago. What an awesome experience that was! I love the temple so much, and the peace and comfort that it provides!
As far as my District goes, things are great! We're speaking Spanish as much as we can, and everyone's getting so much better at teaching. I can tell everyone's itching to get out of this place though. Someone described the feeling as the plot of the movie groundhog day. Every day is pretty much the same, but with little differences here and there.
Something I am going to miss about this place is the food! Every day for lunch is beans and rice, and some kind of meat (usually chicken, beef, or fish) and we'll have various things for dinner like pasta, and plantain casserole. The only meal I don't look forward to as much is on Mondays we have "san cocho sopa" which is rice with soup on top, and it's not awful, but you do have to pick bones and fat off of all the meat. So that's fun!
My thought for the week is this: Recently, while I've been striving to focus on the needs of our "investigators" I've been thinking a lot about the questions that they ask and how to best answer them. Well, as I've searched the scriptures with those questions in mind, I've discovered things in them that I've never noticed before! So now, every time before I read the scriptures, listen to a talk, or go to the temple, I ponder about questions I would like answers to, and the results are incredible. If you don't know what you're looking for, how will you ever find it?
That's it for this week! I'll keep working hard and learning español! Thanks for all the support and love back home, love you all!
¡Vida es bien, Dios es mejor!
