Saludos cordiales a todos mis amados del distrito 9D que
ya están de regreso. Espero que la vida en casa les trate bien. Recuerden que
no son J.A.S. - son misioneros RETORNADOS! Compórtense como tal!
LECCIÓN DE LA SEMANA: I had a cool experience that I
forgot to tell you guys about last week. When I was returning to Valladolid
from Cancun, Elder Astrada and I missed the bus.... yeah. They said "last
call" over the intercom, and we went straight to the gate, but the ticket-man
informed us that our ride had already departed. Sigh. I may have complained
silently in my head, but I had yet to see what the Lord had in store.
As we passed by the sales window to buy new tickets,
Elder Jensen called my phone. "Hey, Elder Carson," he said. "I
think you stole our house keys!!!" I reached in my pocket, and to my
surprise, I had indeed been guilty of accidental theft. Missing the bus gave us
enough time to meet up with the elders and give them the keys before travelling
to Valladolid and causing a bigger problem. The best part: when we went to buy
new tickets, the kind salesman transferred our old tickets for free!! Turns
out, he is a member of the church!!! MIRACLES!!!
--------------------
This week has been exciting. We finalized transfer
details, welcomed new missionaries (including two from Brazil who arrived
speaking Portugués), and said goodbye to our old friends in the Last Supper
with President Reynoso. Of all the "last suppers" I’ve attended, it
was definitely the strangest to witness (for obvious reasons that I need not
name).
Now, I’m working hard in Nichupté - AGAIN! It’s so great
to see all my friends from this great ward. There are truly faithful and
generous members here who fight to build the kingdom of God. I’m humbled by the
faith I have observed in them.
The best part is that I’m working with TWO stellar
missionaries!! Elder Jensen AND Elder Vega!! Both have been great friends to me
during my two years as a missionary, and we are ready to give EVERY LAST DROP
of soul-power in us to teach, baptize, and train these next five weeks!
I hope you all have a wonderful week! Prepare yourselves
with good questions to listen and DISCERN the Spirit of the Lord during General
Conference next Saturday. I would LOVE to hear your thoughts regarding the
talks, so if you’d shoot me a mail between sessions, I would greatly appreciate
it!!
Love,
Elder Carson
