I was sick all week so I saw a little bit too much of the Doctor as well as the back of my eyelids as I rested. I have something just short of a tapeworm. Though all of that happened, on Sunday the Lord blessed us with 4 new investigators and we saw a lot of blessings.
On Saturday night a Russian woman took us out to sushi. She was so entertaining and the whole time I thought about Clarie and was jealous because she gets to talk to these people everyday. I would just like to say that my Russian accent is on point. I sound exactly like that woman.
New Year's Eve was fun! We went over to the Gasca's house and had tamales and played spoons. It was a blast. Hispanic traditions are a little strange but thankfully they didn't make us do too many of the more bizarre ones.
Speaking of the new year... I read a really cool talk this week by M. Russell Ballard:
"I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don't set goals in our life
and learn how to master the technique of living to reach our goals, we
can reach a ripe old age and look back on our life only to see that we
reached but a small part of our potential."
Half of this year will be spent here on the mission and half will be spent out in the real world. Talking with a few family members, I realized how important it is to create both temporal and spiritual goals. My greatest desire is to become more like my Savior and I know the goals I'm setting will get me there. I am so grateful that I am serving a mission. It has helped me so much in my present life and I know it will continue blessing me in the years to come as well as the eternities. It is shaping me into the person I hope to one day become.
The Lord is so good.
