Heyooooooo!
This transfer ends next week? Where has the time gone? So weird.
Anyway, we had a good week here in San Pedro. We had stake conference this past week, and it was great. One thing that really stuck with me was about the Atonement. We need to gain, and maintain a testimony of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Once we start to understand the Atonement, and the forgiveness and power that it gives to us, everything else in our lives will start clicking. I know that Christ lives and He knows each one of us, He knows our pains, our sorrows, and our weaknesses. He knows what we need to become more like Him. Most of the time that involves changing something in our lives. One thing that was said in this conference was, "If we are unhappy, we need to look at our lives and find something that we are coming up short on, and change that one thing." I really liked that.
Something I have noticed here, is that when we are unhappy, it is because we are thinking about our problems. When we change our point of view, and start to look at other people and how we can help them, that is where we can find true happiness.
We also had Zone conference with all of the other missionaries, and that was great. Today we went to Puerto Cortés, and it was interesting being there again after almost a year and a half.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week!!
