Big Shot

From September 22, 2014

This week was a good week. I went to San Salvador again. I went with Elder Slack, so that he didn't get lost. We went all the way there which is about 2 hours in bus. We got there and the secretary hadn't sent his stuff to the lawyer. We went back to the bus terminal and we ate a hamburger in this little restaurant by the terminal. It was horrible. I'm really miss my dad's hamburgers. They haven't learned how to make hamburgers yet in this country. So we basically went to San Salvador and back to eat a crappy hamburger that was way too expensive, but we did see two really cool movies in the bus. (Not that I was watching them).

The best part of the week was a visit from Elder Ochoa. He is in the Central American area presidency. It was a very good meeting. I learned a lot. I learned about a lot of things that I have to change. He is a fantastic teacher and he can lay out the doctrine in a really enlightening way. He obviously has the spirit with him as well. I've learned a lot about repentence lately and being humble. Repentence doesn't necessarily mean that you stop doing something bad it can also mean you stop doing something good to start doing something better. We have to make sacrifices when we repent. We have to sacrifice our will so that we can do God's will. President Cordon once said, "Leaving something bad for something good is called common sense, leaving something good for something better is called sacrifice." We all have things we need to do to repent and be better. One thing I am trying to do better is to love the people more. That is essential in missionary work. Anyways I love you all. Have a great week.
