Challenges and Trials are just opportunities to show the Lord Who We Really Are

The Mission is really an interesting thing. Just when you think you know how things should be done or the way you should work day to day, the Lord quickly humbles you and straightens you out.

The past week we had our fair share of challenges, trials, and disappointments but that is just what they are, nothing more and nothing less. The challenges that we face here in the mission are unlike those that I have ever faced before, but at the same time the attitude that I need to overcome is what I have learned long before the mission. Challenges and Trials are just opportunities to show the Lord Who We Really Are. The way we endure what gets thrown at us defies who we are and as a result, shows the Lord that we trust and love him. Even though the road is a little bumpy, it's only for a time and this great work will just keep on keeping on. Thank you so much mom for those great words of encouragement. They gave me a lot to think about and to put things into perspective. The Lord has a lot of trust in us (Elder Zamora and I) and I know there is a reason we are together. Even though it is hard to understand at times, the Lord teaches us so many valuable lessons when he makes us suffer a bit. But don't you worry about a thing, I will just keep on Keeping on!
