Well another week in the field! To be honest not much has changed, but I
have a couple cool stories and we just got back from the Temple and
that was awesome! First off I really didn´t mean that about Liz and
Molli hahahahaha I don't care that much :) well.... Elder Sautter (from
Arizona) pooped the bed on Friday night. Needless to say we are all
struggling a little bit with the food. Elder Sautter is the exact
replica of the Cecilian from Princess Bride! Hahahaha I really love the
district and everything about this place even if it is hard.
Like I said we just got
back from the Temple. We only got to go to the Visitors Center because
the Temple is being worked on, but it was soooooo cool. It was one of
the nicest places I've been too, and the spirit was so strong! The
Spanish is coming along well, I can say most things I want, I just don't
know a whole lot of vocabulary and it's so hard to understand people!
But with patience, hard work and faith, I know I will be fine
Sorry there just isn't a
whole lot to say about this week, but I do want to share some thoughts
and feelings that I have gained. I know without a doubt in my mind that
our Redeemer lives. This last few weeks I have grown so close to him and
to the Atonement and I cannot express my gratitude enough for that. I
know that Jesus Christ was the ultimate example, and that he paid for
each and every one of our sins and afflictions. On Sunday we heard a
talk from Elder Bednar and it may have been the best talk I have ever
heard about the character of Christ and trying to be like him. I am
definitely working as hard as I can to become like the Savior, and in
three short weeks, I'll be trying to bring others to do the same!
I miss and love all you
guys so much, but honestly right now I wouldn't want to be anywhere
else. I head to Nicaragua on the 22nd and I think I may be able to call
home then! This week is the 4th, so please be safe but most importantly
be grateful for what we have in the United States! We just got back from
driving through Mexico City... and let me tell ya I have never been
more grateful to be an American. I'm proud to be an American, but I'm
even more proud to be a representative of Jesus Christ!
Love you all,
Elder Merrill
