Well I did everything I could to think about how I can stay out of rut, routine weeks like last week and make progress every week. I was able to change my perspective on that a little and also remember that with each and every passing day, little by little, I am coming to know Christ better and remembering that this work was far from easy for Him so it shouldn't be easy for me. Being the perfectionist that I often am, I need to look outward to others to see my personal progress sometimes, so thank you so much for all of your emails and support, especially the replies to last week's email. I came to realize that I am REALLY quite blessed to be in Bolivia. There is a certain magic to being in such a poor, foreign country. So much to do, so much to explore, receiving old school letters a month later as I assume it was long ago as well, having some old school stuff and some new school, etc. It really keeps things interesting and what a blessing it was that I was calm and comfortable enough to even think I was getting into a rut last week haha..... Needless to say email time is always stressful for me.... but I have come to appreciate it because I ALWAYS have something to do. :) I don't think I could've survived the routine of a mission in the states haha. I am seeing more and more that I am grateful for and practicing my positivity. Only what I see to be the most important gets sent home :) and that's good.... kinda.... because sometimes I have to think really fast and don't always send this pure spiritual fire home all the time. :j
Right so I have talked many times about planting seeds here in our area and looking over the thousand odd people I've talked to in the past 6 months with just one baptism has made me realize there is actually some necessary ground plowing and tilling before those seeds can even be planted haha.... we do a lot of that. Sorry! No Time! Love you all! Keep telling me your blessings!
My first baptism. :) Sergio Salazar Saldias
