Err frustrating! I just was about to finish your email when I deleted
the whole thing. Hmmmmmm ok I will write it again. But I don’t think it will be
as good.
So I got my plan de relive. I don’t know what that is in English
but it means I’m going home on May 1st. You can cry. I know I will. Actually I’m
not sure what to feel. I don’t feel anything yet.
This week was a good week. I always feel like I’m never in my area
between having to go to Xela and doing divisions. Even though I stayed this
week for divisions...it’s not the same without my comp. But it was a good week
because Melvin and Elisandro were baptized. It was special because I really
felt they had sought out an answer to if they had to be baptized.
Also when Elisandro was confirmed he was promised he would serve
a mission and be sealed in the temple if he is faithful to his baptismal
covenant. I pray that all of the people I have taught are always faithful to
their baptismal covenants. God has so many blessing prepared for us. If we
could see his plan for us I think we would all be a little bit better.
I also got a package from Grandma Pat! Thanks! It had her caramels,
which are so tasty. She also sent a mint lotion, which smells so good!
We watched the Bible Video of Christ’s baptism. I thought of a
lot of things while watching it. I thought about his perfect example and how I
want to follow him. It’s not an easy thing to try to be perfect like he was. I
think when you try to be like Christ you really see all the ways you don’t measure
up. But the amazing thing is that although he has commanded us to be perfect
like him, and we can’t. He has provided the way that every time we mess up we
can be forgiven. I know forgiveness is real. I have felt the sweet peace it
brings to my life. And I know that his forgiveness is always extended to us.
Love you all and miss you tons!
