Put your trust in the Lord!

Hey guess what? I'm currently writing this email in Managua in the same cyber as my old area! Yeah we're spending the day in Managua because my companion has to go to the doctor so P-Day ruined! Hahahah but who cares.

Freaking Super Bowl. One of the worst days ever. Hahahah obviously only a couple people here in Nicaragua were watching it but seeing even just a couple plays was really hard. Two teams that I really like and a really good game! But what blessings we will be able to receive, and what a great day yesterday was.

And here's the story. Last Sunday was pretty crappy. We were only able to get a few people to church. The standard of excellence is 6 and we got like 3. And being a district leader, I got chewed out because the whole district sucked. So what did I do this week? I worked really hard and put it all in the Lord's hands. Every prayer I had was just pouring my heart out to be able to help these people come to church. We worked super hard too. And fasted. And what happened? We brought 9 people to church. And the rest of the District did really well too! It's crazy how awesome the Lord is. I have changed so much during my ALMOST 8 months in the mission. I've learned that struggles are great because we learn to put our trust in the Lord and then he blesses us more than we could ever even imagine. That's my point for the day. Just put your trust in the Lord. And not just a little part either! Put everything in his hands, and he will always provide.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff but today has been kinda hectic so my mind is all outta wack. Anyways I love you all so much and thank you for everything! Keep up the good work and always pray!

Love,

Elder Merrill
