His Grace is Sufficient

Hey everyone!

Sorry I've slacked off a lot lately with the emails. But life is going good! Busy and fast but good.

So this last week was transfer week and it was crazy just like the last time. Monday through Friday we woke up every morning at 4:30 🤗 and one night we went to bed at 1 in the morning... Haha but I have a quote on my whiteboard by Post Malone that says, "You can't get tired in the studio. It's really tough. But you just gotta keep on going."

Of those who went home this week, one of them was my old companions, Elder Canquilla. Now 8 of my companions are at home. It was hard to say goodbye to him.

Sorry I can't think of anything interesting to write about. This week I learned a little more about grace. First off we had the best companionship study ever. The three of us watched His Grace is Sufficient by Brad Wilcox. It is a really good talk. But every time he said the word grace in his talk we had to take a shot of Fanta. The talk is 30 minutes long and we got something like 32 or 33 shots. We all felt terrible afterwards haha.

Then I learned grace by first hand experience. This week a group of 13 missionaries were scheduled to go to Lima for migrations. Their flights were bought and the hotel was booked. Everything was ready to go. But wait... The day before I was checking to make sure everything was good to go. When I saw there were no appointments scheduled at the migrations building... My heart dropped to the floor. Their flight is the next day to go to Lima and they don't have appointments at the migrations building. After everything that happened this week with transfers, missionaries leaving, missionaries arriving, I totally spaced booking their appointments. Super nervous I hurried to the web page to see if any more spaces were available for the next day. 12 pm full. 1pm full. 2pm full. 3pm full. Doubts start creeping in. 4pm full. 5pm full. Highest stress levels ever reached. 6pm 2 spots free. One hour to go. 7pm 8 spots free. whew

Luckily 10 of the 13 were able to get appointments scheduled. But I still had to figure out what to do with the other three. We resolved to send them the day after. But that meant last second changing the flights. In the end about 300 dollars of church money was lost because of that one brain fart. I felt terrible the rest of the day and couldn't stop thinking about it. But Christ descended below it all. and "HIS GRACE is sufficient" -Brad Wilcox. Any mistake or sin we commit can be overcome with the help of God. His hand is always out waiting to lift us up. We just have to do our part and grab his hand. This week try to think of ways that y'all can reach out and grab his hand. Love you all and have a good week!
