Week 52: Almost one year.
This past week has gone by super fast. Each day was full of lessons with the people here. We have been finding alot of people here to teach which has been nice, however it has been difficult to find people that actually want to progress. My area has some of the richest parts here in Monterrey but we have came to find that we have been able to find more sucess in the poor parts of our area. We have been teaching alot of people out a colonia thats called " El Realito". This area has really reminds me of my days back in Juarez when I starting my mission. It is a very humble section so it is easier to share the gospel with them. I have came to know this verse from the Bible to be true. It says, "And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh."
I have came to realize how many of us need the gospel in our lives. It would be a very difficult world if we did not know where we came from, why we are here, and where are we going after this life. These kind of answers can bring alot of peace and happiness in our lives. We know that there is more life after this, for this reason, we need to work and keep the commandments of God. I am thankful and deeply humbled for this opportunity to be here in Mexico preaching this wonderful gospel to those in need! Take care everyone! #GodSpeed
