March 2

The weather cant make up its mind.  Today I wore jeans and a t-shirt and nearly froze to death, but yesterday seemed to be to hot for a jacket.  And that's still the most exciting thing to happen to Yuma Colorado in the last decade.  I'm doing fine, naturally of course.  I am not to usually one to demand more from situations.  The work is good too.  We have almost switched from a bigger investigator pool to a bigger focus on less actives and recent converts.  It just worked out like that.  But its what needed to happen which is the strangest part.  I seem to also always be tired but that's something I could post in every weeks blog.  My time is measured in a particular way too.  It seems like either last week or last year I left home.  I don't know which one it is.  I'm hitting my 1/4 mark tomorrow and I don't know how to celebrate.  Perhaps I'll treat myself.  Even better than hitting a mark is that as I was thinking about it, I'm in the swing of it.  I know a lot of things pertaining to a missionaries life.  I have had tons of experiences, spiritual and more trail based ones too.  Enough to help me for a lifetime.  But the Lord doesn't put us on 6-month missions for a reason.  Its my opportunity to use what I've learned and be a good missionary.  Then continue to learn more and more and so much more.  On Sunday I got up and bore my testimony.  (As I normally do every fast Sunday because not a lot of people do).  And even though I "prepared" what I was going to talk about so I wouldn't be so nervous of going up there and not being able of saying anything as my mind would probably go blank.  As I started talking my babblings went to a different set of subjects.  I talked about what the Lord wanted me to say even though I didn't have the faith to know it would have happened anyway.  Its that kind of faith that separates a person serving a mission from a missionary.  If a mission has taught me anything (which it has, a lot of things) its that if we work hard to do the right things, eventually something will happen for our benefit.  Its a seemingly open promise but It will always hold true.  I love you all.  Stay strong in the gospel.  Later!
