What a wonderful, stormy day!
We’re entering September now, and that’s rainy season on
this side of the Yucatan peninsula. Things are great, actually - I enjoy the
chance to (literally) cool down.
LECCIÓN DE LA SEMANA: There’s no time in this life for
negativity!!
I went on splits with an old dude (Hno. Cortéz) on the high
council assigned to missionary work in Bacalar. It was a LOT of fun, and I
think it was because the guy didn’t speak ONE WORD of negativity the whole
time. Personally, I didn’t even realize how optimistic a person can be until
that moment.
Lots of people his age don’t leave the house or spend all
day sleeping, but because of his attitude, he’s been able to fill his time with
productive things. He’s taking cooking classes, getting licensed to open a
barber shop, and always putting God (and his calling) first!
I don’t know about you guys, but I would would like to be so
happy when I get old. :D
-----------------
- We did LOTS of splits with the elders of Chetumal this week! On one of my favorites, we caught the (rebellious) son of a desperate mother in JUST the right moment to start teaching him, and the message of the Atonement really struck him. THE (big, tough, tattoed) DUDE CRIED. It was a very spiritual moment. Cool stuff.
- Some baptismal dates fell through in our area and in the zone - we’re working on a training for the zone about how to retain those investigators better.
- We ate in the house of some... very well-off members, and their son wanted VERY BADLY to show us his toys. He would fit perfectly in Comic-Con, to put it shortly.
I’m gonna cut it short for now because time’s a little thin!
I love you all and hope that, with the start of the semester, you’re all working
hard and doing your homework. Whether it’s that, your career, or your family,
remember to ALWAYS keep a positive attitude!!! The Lord blesses those who
refrain from murmuring!!
Love,
Elder Carson
