Patience + Love = Some Really Powerful Combination- Week 21

I just love you all so much! I look forward to writing this email every single week. But if I am being honest, it is always so hard to start these things. Like what am I supposed to say first??? That I had another great week out here in Mexico City? That just seems like something everyone else would do. Anyways, that's my dilemma/problem right now. 

But we had another great week out here in Mexico City, hahaha just teaching everyone that passes by! We have pass-along cards and they are basically a life saver when it comes to talking to people. In all reality, people don't want to talk to us, but when they see a picture of Jesus Christ (the pass-along card) they almost always say yes! So booyah. 

Elder Rosas is teaching me how to cook, dance, sing, talk in Spanish, so thanks to him I will one day be a man of many talents. Thanks Elder Rosas! 

Being a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is really hard, and I have to have a ton of patience for my companion, the people, the ward, myself. Basically with anything you have to be patient. So that is what I wanted to talk about today. As we strive to be patient and focus on what really matters. The little things, that test my patience really don't have an affect on me. They are just something getting in the way of me trying to be happy. 

So keep trying to put Jesus Christ in the center of your life, and as you do this you will learn something new through the process. I love you, Jesus Christ loves you, and everyone around you loves you! 

Thank you all for what you do for me everyday. It is such a blessing as well to be a missionary for Christ's Church.
