Happy Days

Well its another week in Nicaragua!!! Things are going good, this week has has its ups and downs but I think I'm getting used to the schedule. Every night I'm super tired and have NO problems falling asleep. But this week has been good the language is coming slowly but surely. Probably because I am forced to talk and interact in Spanish which makes it so I have to!! but it sounds like everyone is doing well and just getting along!! That would be such an awesome experience for Skyler if he was able to give Seth a blessing! That is so awesome that everyone has been improving and just getting better! But no, let everyone know that I miss them a lot and that they mean a lot to me. Don't' be upset but I try not to think about it too much because I want to focus on the people and how I can help. However, I do love you all so very much! When I start to get sad I read the scriptures and I came across a story in Mosiah and how they went out for 14 years and they couldn't even talk with their families! I look up to the prophets in the Book of Mormon because they are all so strong and they could do the impossible and as of right now I feel like this work is impossible. My body wants to rest all the time and there are times when I am talking and falling asleep at the same time. ha ha But I try my best and I pray with all the power of my heart that I will be able to make it through each and every day. and somehow I end up being able to do all that I need. But today I talked with Stephen!!Sounds like he is getting ready to return back to the states! I have been having dreams about returning and they are so amazing and it has brought good and bad because I want to feel what I did in my dream and I want it so bad but then I know I first have to show my faith and love to the Lord. I am still not sure about what everyone is saying but I am getting better!! I get scared hearing people tell me it takes about 3 months to be able to feel fine with talking and with interacting 100 percent! Because I want to help them NOW!!! ha ha that has been a problem with me in my life is that I want to just do things now instead of waiting. But I can see if I wait and do it on the Lord's time then things ALWAYS work out! I was thinking about this week if I was going to be able to endure and so this because I struggle with the language and I just want to help with all my heart but then I think of the story of Jared and how he went up to the mount and was tried of his faith with the rocks. And I applied it to my life, that I have challenges in front of me and I can either grab hold and with the help of the Lord bear them or to take them an put them all upon my back! Because the Lord says come unto me and I will make thou burdens light. And I just think of that and it helps but it doesn't' mean we throw all of our burdens on Him, it means we carry them together! But no, things are going great! I am having a problem with the language but it's a small stepping stone compared to the amazing glory that I want! This is God's work and I know it because I see it change people lives every day! I see it change my life and I have a booklet full of spiritual inspirations that i have received and it is a lot and it's only my second week! So I know I can do this I just need to grit my teeth and go to work!! I love you all so much and you all mean the world to me I hope you know that! The people here in Masaya have shown forth what is really important in life. The joy people have here and the openness is tremendous and it is really an inspiration for me to see. Also seeing all of you come closer helps me and I can truly feel the love of Lord in your lives and how much it blesses you and it give me the extra push to do all I can to keep going because if it's blessing you then it's worth it. It says in the scriptures if you will but only bring one soul unto me then how great shall be your joy, and then how great shall be your joy if you bring many!! I know this is hard work there isn't one thing in my life that has been as hard as the Lord's work, but how can I say I don't want to suffer when I myself asked to go where He went and to be how He was. I go to bed at night more tired then ever before and more sad then ever before because I love these people like my family and to think that they would suffer in any degree makes me say beyond belief!! I cry every night and I pray to have them feel the spirit and how important this is and to know what I need to do!! This truly is His work and I have truly felt the spirit every day! I love each and every one of you and think of you daily, praying that after this short time of us being apart will bring even more joy in the future! I wouldn't be here without you and I feel like each and every one of you is with me and helping! I feel your love and I know it's only but a short time! It's hard and sometimes you want to give up but don't, just pray and ask for his help because he will lighten you load!! I feel it I know He is there watching out for us! In the scriptures it talks of a prophet that was so weak and could hardly even stand or raise his hands, but in the next scripture is says you will have angels on you right and on your left to bear you up and give you strength! I know this is true because it's happened to me and it can happen to you!! I love you all and I hope all is going well! As for mail I was told to just e-mail because it is easier and their are a lot of problems with the whole mail and can take time from the work so if it's ok could you use e-mail? I Love you all!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxox
