Yeah so this week was lot's of fun but man was it cold, it
like dropped to the 30s all week and now it's back in the 70s. They say the
only thing that's constant about New Orleans weather is that it's never
constant.
This week included cleaning a rat infested shed, filling an
18 wheeler with goods for some Hondurans in need, eating the biggest plate of
fried chicken, fried plantains, and lettuce in my life, a massive cow painting,
16 extra Wendy's nuggets, a Spanish baptism, a Branch Fish Fry and more.
The Spanish Elders had someone get accept baptism this
Saturday! It was an amazing experience and Regina was able to join in. She
knows Spanish as well so understood it and was more excited for her baptism
than before. As for me, I was asked to play the hymns and me barely
understanding any Spanish just sat there as they announced the closing hymn.
After like 30 seconds Elder Garcia was like "Elder get to the piano we're
waiting on you" It was at that point that I understood why the guy said
the number 56 in what I thought was his testimony.
"Sometimes the very moments that overcome us with
suffering, suffer us to overcome" Joseph B Wirthlin. God doesn't give us
trials to stop us, but to grow us. He knows we'll only become what He needs us
to be by going through the hard stuff. Just like diamonds, we'll need some
intense heat and pressure to become something magnificent. As long as I follow
His will over mine, and repent when I don't, I can find confidence in the fact
that He is indeed molding me into what He desires from me. No matter the
circumstance no matter the hardship. In other words, when we let God prevail in
our lives we know we're on the right track, or at least can trust the path
we're on is in the right direction.
