I'm not going to lie, this week was a little rough. But God helped me out a ton. So my stomach was super bad this week. It sucked because I wasn't able to do a lot. There were a couple days when we weren´t able to do much work. Saturday, while thinking back on the week, I became super frustrated because my stomach freaking sucks, this week I've started to get bed bug bites, somehow I got an ingrown fingernail even though I cut my nails a ton, and sometimes it was hard to have patience with my companion.
Later Saturday I was laying on my bed flipping throuugh my scriptures and a verse in Alma 38 stood out to me. In verses 3 and 4 Alma praises his son Shiblon for his mission work among the Zoramites. In verse 4 Alma says, For I know that thou wast in bonds; yea and I also know that thou wast stoned for the word´s sake; and thou didst bear all these things with patience because the Lord was with thee; and now thou knowest that the Lord did deliver thee. That verse helped me realize how wimpy my frustration was. I was frustrated because of small things like bug bites or a bad stomach, but at least I'm not getting stoned. I was frustrated because we weren't able to work a lot because of my stomach and because of my companion, but at least it's not because I'm in bonds. So yeah, my week seemed "rough" but if I look back on the good, I had a good week!
Monday night I made my pension´s family some good old chocolate chip cookies. Tuesday our pension´s husband, who worked at a pizzeria in Spain, made BBQ Chicken pizzas. I ate an entire pizza because who knows when I'll eat that again, but I definitely regretted that one afterwards. Tuesday we also helped people build a house. Thursday we helped in the bakery again and the owner said the pizza crust I made came out super beautiful and was the best one.
This week I started tutoring my pensions son in math which is a little sketchy in Spanish but I actually like it. They call me the gringo todo poderoso or the all powerful gringo haha. This week was my best of Spanish, we found some super cool investigators, and p-days we play volleyball and last time I spiked it good on them haha. So yeah, if I focus on the bad this week sucked, but if I look at the good, I had a lot of fun this week. So my advice would be to always look for the good, count your blessings, and if you look at the good of my week it was all interaction with others. But the bad of my week was focused on myself. That just shows where your focus is, is where your happiness is. Focus on God and others and you'll be happy. Focus on yourself and things can get bad real quick. Anyways that's it for me. Peace out until next week I love y'all!!✌
