6-25-2012

Well well, it was a pretty great week! All is well here... we had a baptism this week of Axel, he is the cutest little chubby 8 year old you have ever seen! He is the little brother of 2 members but his parents aren´t members so we were in charge of teaching him and baptizing him.  Seriously I have never seen a little kid so excited to be baptized!! He is so dang adorable.  So we have had a great week working with him and his family.  Their favorite hymn is ´Siembra Gozo´ which is the hymn Scatter Shunshine, but they always sing ´siempre agosto, siempre agrandar´ instead of ´siembra gozo, siempre al andar´ hahah. Those little kids are just so dang cute! I´ll try and send pictures. Transfers are this week so we´ll see what happens! I´ve been here for 3 transfers so there is a chance I will go but it´s more likely that I will stay.  This week I have been focusing a lot on ways I can improve as a missionary and as a representative and disciple of Jesus Christ.  I would love to get any mission advice from all of you! Family, friends, returned missionaries, everyone por favor! :) Lets see what else... sorry it´s a really boring email today! My mind is just blank right now and I can´t really think of what all happened this week, haha. But all is going well! The time is just flying by and I am trying to take advantage of the short time I have left.  A little spiritual thought... today I was reviewing notes from a stake conference we had a few months ago and there was a really good talk that talked about discipleship.  He talked about how the words discipulo (disciple) and disciplina (discipline) have the same roots, and how by being a disciple, we really do have to live a disciplined life... leaving things behind, and letting things go.  But that doesn´t mean we need to perfect already, it is a process that goes step by step, leaving one thing behind at a time.  I have been thinking about that and the things that I need to leave behind to be a better disciple of Christ.  It may be a little bit of a struggle, but it´s always worth it and the happiness and joy that we receive in the end are so incredible that every ounce of sacrifice and struggle ends up being nothing.

Well, I hope you all have an awesome week!! Again.. if there is anything that anyone wants from Argentina, let me know asap so I can keep my eyes out and get it all taken care of early! Thanks so so much for your prayers and letters and support! I love you all!!
