Hey everyone.
I am writing a together email today. We dont have tons of time. This morning we FINALLY bought gas, so dad if you want to send me money for that I wouldnt mind at all! lol jk. But the guys brought the gas and we didnt have the right hook up so he said he would go by it and be back in an hour. Well...... 3 hours later. Holy smokes my monday time is precious! So I have been way more than stressed out all day long but I guess that is kind of the story of my life.
The funny story this week comes from the table at the bishops house where we ate on Friday. I have officially ate the worst thing of my entire mission. I couldnt even believe it lol. So they served us the food and then sat in front of us on the couch. They never eat with us and it is super uncomfortable. So our food was meat and rice and there were some tortillas in front of us. So I made myself a little taco and took a bit and really smelt the food and then really started looking at the food when I realized I was not eating real meat. So I somehow got it all down holding my breath. This stuff had tubes to other organs and all sort sof nast crazy. There was a whitish part that was semi crunchy and I wanted to die. Leaving the house I said to my companion, what did I just eat? She said it definatley was tongue but she didnt know what else. She thought it was liver but said that it wasnt so we asked another member later in the day and they said the white stuff is ear cartlidge. Ear?? What in the world! and who knows what in the heck the other stuff was, it is probably better that I dont know. Funny story of the week.
In other news, we are starting a new transfer today and I will be with Hermana Fuentes again. Honestly other than the begining of my mission this has been the hardest transfer yet. We have one person that is sort of progressing and I feel like I have wasted 6 weeks and it frustrates me to no end. I feel like I am not being the best I can be and anyways... this week was really hard. I wasnt myself and I was just stressed out in every single moment. I started reading my journal that I kept when I started the mission and it helped me a lot, along with a lot of prayers to help pull me out of my weird lexie depression. Anyways, reading was really good for me. It made me realize the changes that have happened in me in this year. I think as missionaries we always want to be better, we always want results, and we always want to do things in the right way. I had to take a step back this week and realize that I cant be perfect. I should always try to be better but I shouldnt push myself down for not doing everything exactly perfect. Mom you mentioned that you are going to share about faith this week in your class. We always say that faith is action, but something more that I have learned is that a lot of people say they have faith because they believe in christ. Like you said, faith and believing are different and its true. Faith isnt just believing that Christ exists, it is believing in the promises that he has made us and the sacrifes that he made for us as well. When i read your letter I thought about the different between testimony and conversion. It is osmething I like to talk about with the members. I know I have mentioned it before but look in the bible dictionary at the difference between testimony and conversion, because I believe that someone that is really excersizing their faith is someone converted to the gospel. Everything goes hand in hand. I will try to think of something more while I am writing.
Anyways, I think that is it, this week was super hard and I am a little nervous and down about this next transfer but I have been praying all week for Heavnly Father to help me accept whatever answer he sent for transfers and the answer is that we are staying together another transfer and He knows why much better than I do. I trust Him, and I know that the trails, areas, and people we meet all mean something. Nothing is by chance. I love you all and hope you have a great week. Talk to you soon.
Love, Hermana Baer
