Another Week of the Mission

Well it was another week of the mission. Not much really happened. We are working and trying to find more people, it just is not the easiest thing for people to progress here. But it is cool. I can pretty much say now that I learned Spanish, well I understand almost all of the things that the people say now, so that is a good thing. There are some really cool members here in Santiago Centro and we are trying to help the ward out and make it a really cool place. It is just going to take a lot of work, and I am going to have to do a lot of things that I dont know how to do really, but it is going to be awesome. Hopefully. But it has been ok. I am learning a lot of stuff. More than anything else, I am seeing the outcome of a lot of people´s choices, which is interesting. It is a pretty big difference between the people that keep the commandments that God has given them and the people that do not do that. It is really sad too, when we go and talk to people and they just do not really want to change and have a better life because it takes ´effort´, but it is Argentina, so not sure what I expected haha. But yeah that is most of how it is going. But yeah. I am definitely seeing first hand that the gospel is what helps us to be happy. When I was younger, I always thought of the commandments as restrictions from fun things, but as I have grown older and seen the outcomes of all the things and all the people here and all the missiony stuff, I have learned that God has given us these commandments to protect us and to keep us happy. It has been an interesting change of perspective, and has really helped me out with all these rules that with have as missionaries. That said, I am nowhere near perfect. And I never will be haha. But I know that I can do all that God has asked of me! 

Love you guys! Have a great week!
