Hello everyone, I think writing to you guys in English is hurting my progress in Spanish. So you all should learn Spanish so we don't have to bother with English, plus, Spanish makes more sense anyway. Haha just kidding.
It is so weird to think about Washington weather. Over here the rainy season is just ending, and the dry season is beginning, which basically just means relentless heat.... but I like it here.
The other day my companion and I were talking about how different it would be if we were anywhere else. First of all, on a mission, you get to learn a ton. Setting aside the gift of tongues and the blessing of another language, you are living a higher law. All of the rules that didn't make any sense before and didn't seem fair, make so much sense. And when you are obedient with exactitude, you learn why they exist. The more you follow them, the more you have the Spirit with you. The more you have the Spirit with you, the more like Heavenly Father you become. I am convinced that the only we to learn the mysteries of God, is through obedience.
We are here in this world to learn from our own experience and through our own agency. But the only way you are going to learn and fulfill your divine potential is to be obedient in all things. So I hope you are all reading your scriptures, and saying your prayers, and magnifying your callings. These three things are super awesome blessings that we have been given; they are all ways to learn, and at the same time, further the work of the Lord.
I love you guys, enjoy the rain!
