BENDICIONES Y ENFERMEDAD

BUEEEENN DÍA. Man, how is every one? Things 'round here are going super well. This week I've been pretty sick because Buenos Aires loves having a ridiculously unpredictable climate. For example, on Tuesday Elder Alvarez and I were nearly dying because it was so cold, but by Friday we were going out with our short-sleeved shirts.. I'll never understand how it can change so quickly. But any ways, even though I lost two days of being able to go out and work, the Lord really blessed us this weekend in helping our investigators to come to church. We had some great, promising families join us, and the church was full full! I've never been in a ward where they have to open the overflows so every one fits on my mission. I love the energy and all the diversity in this ward. July is going to be killer! Today I'm low again on time because we're gonna go up to Luján and see the cathedral and explore a bit, so I've got to keep things shorter here.

I'm grateful to have a Father in Heaven who knows me so well. I know He knows me, and wants me to be happy. Yesterday I was reading a talk from an Elder Cornish I think from General Conference in November about being good enough, and I really enjoyed it. While we as sinners can never be good enough on our own, if we trust in Christ and His Atonement, we can repent our way to goodness and salvation! I've always struggled a little bit with comparison to others, but Elder Cornish said some thing along the lines of, "If we must compare, let's compare our selves now with how we were before." I love that quote. And I know that if we work hard to apply Christ's teachings in our lives, we'll be able to successfully compare our selves with our selves every time. We'll always become better! I love life! I'm really happy! I can't think of a time when trying my best to be happy hasn't been a success. Have a wonderful week all!
