Buenas!!

Como estan ustedes!
So I just got off the phone with the zone leaders and it looks like I'm
going to be staying here another transfer!!! I'm soooo stoked for that!!!
Unfortunately my compo is leaving but things are doin way sick here! Last
week was another just boss week added 4 more investigators had some peeps at
church people are getting closer and closer to baptism, Enrique (remember
the guy that I was talking about last week?) he's planning on getting
baptized in the middle of next month but the crummy thing is that he's
moving back to Mexico next month because there's a preacher he said that
trying to steal his property and take his stuff in his other house
in Mexico...So he's planning on moving back but...we're planning a getting
him baptized and transferring his records to the ward boundaries where he
will be moving to ha...God always provides a way and always provides safety
for the soul. Things are just happening and I hope I finish my mission
here...maybe a little bit of butt kissing and convincing and that dream
might come true but it's all in His hands so if I do GREAT and if I don't
then it is what it is. Speaking of the Lord's timing I was reading President
Uchtdorf's recent talk call "Of Things That Matter Most." Just like all of
President Uchtdorf's talks they stick out to me but this part stuck out to
me the most he said, "One of the characteristics of modern life seems to be
that we are moving at an ever-increasing rate, regardless of turbulence or
obstacles. Let’s be honest; it’s rather easy to be busy. We all can think up
a list of tasks that will overwhelm our schedules. Some might even think
that their self-worth depends on the length of their to-do list. They flood
the open spaces in their time with lists of meetings and minutia—even during
times of stress and fatigue. Because they unnecessarily complicate their
lives, they often feel increased frustration, diminished joy, and too little
sense of meaning in their lives. It is said that any virtue when taken to an
extreme can become a vice. Over scheduling our days would certainly qualify
for this. There comes a point where milestones can become millstones and
ambitions, albatrosses around our necks. The wise understand and apply the
lessons of tree rings and air turbulence. They resist the temptation to get
caught up in the frantic rush of everyday life. They follow the advice
“There is more to life than increasing its speed.”  *In short, they focus on
the things that matter most." *
So what is it that truly matters most to us? If we let that question really
sink in and think about it.... it's evident it's; our family, it's our
faith, it's those loves of our lives that we literally couldn't live
without. So why is it sometimes that those things and those precious people
that we love so much take a back seat to other things which are of less
importance if indeed these things truly matter the most to us. If things
that bother us the most don't involve the things that matter to us the most
then they really don't matter. It's the things of eternal that we're
seaching for and the people in our lives that we're going there with. It's
all about the love folks and "that's all I have to say about that."
One Love y'all talk to ya next week,
Love,
