Cambios didnt change hardly anything for me which im a little sad about but its okay haha we will keep pushing through and this transfer will be better than the last! It was really fun hanging out with a bunch of missionaries from the zone and getting to have a lot of fun with them was so awesome!
Spiritual thought:
Scripture study has become one of my favorite things to do out here on the mission, especially atudying the book of mormon. One of my favorite scriptures that i recently read is alma 37:6-7 "Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.
And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls."
Im not sure if ive shared this before but i invite all of you to think on the little things that you can add into your life to come closer to god because the little things will stack up over time and you will start to see major blessings and strides in your faith by doing the small and simple things.
Lastly thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and has written to me this past week it seriously helps so much and i promise i read them all even if i dont have time to respond to all of them! Love you all and hope you guys have a great week!
