We went on tour again this week!
LECCIÓN DE LA SEMANA: Don’t get frustrated for things
that are outside your control.
Yesterday, we travelled to Tulum to help out the sister
missionaries, annnnnnd after two hours, nobody showed up like we had planned.
Then, after returning to Carrillo Puerto, we ate quickly and went to see an
investigator who was..... not home. Haha. THEN, after packing our things to go
to Valladolid, we got to the bus station only to discover that the last van had
already left! There was one taxi available, but there weren’t enough passengers
to make a profit, so the driver politely declined service.
Sigh.
My companion and I had a conversation about how things
sometimes don’t go as planned. We came to the conclusion that all these things
would be for our good (D&C 122:7) and that we should look for the
opportunity that God was giving to us.
I can promise you all that as you strive to have a good
attitude about the unexpected changes in your plans, you will see the hand of
the Lord protecting and guiding you. You may not always understand at first the
nature or purpose of your trial, but you will enjoy life more DESPITE those
trials.
----------------------------
This week passed faster than a startled iguana. I
somewhat remember ending up in Bacalar and almost entering a Menonite colony by
accident. I remember finding a miracle in Jardines Ward (where i served before)
with a young sister who desperately needed the Gospel in order to continue on
as a mom of her infant children. I remember challenging a new missionary to
give a District Meeting in the absence of the normal District Leader and being
impressed by his confidence.
It is honestly a great blessing to be able to serve with
these incredible missionaries. I am constantly blown away by there efforts and
acheivement. It looks like we’re going to break last month’s record of
baptisms.
This week’s going to be calmer - we’ll be in our area the
first half, and then it’s off to Cancun to help the office-workers organize
transfers.
I LOVE LIFE!!! :D
May you all have lots of good food and miracles this
week!
Love,
Elder Carson

My friend Isidrio from Jardines!!
Right now in the ciber-café.
If I go into photography, food-photography will
be my only option, because this sandwichón still looks delicious.
