Change!!

I love my missoin and am changing so so much! i love being a leader and serving the people and other missionarys! I have been frusterated with my self latly because i have been trying to be a better missionary and i havent seen the changes that i have wanted. but i realized that change isnt something instantanious rather something progresive. its like climbing a mountain. we can get to the top in an instant. and if we get frusterated with our selfs for not being able to do it, it wont help us and we never will get there. we need to start the JOURNEY step by step, paso por paso. having patience every step of the way! i now know that i will take steps backward but i cant get frusterated no one is perfect. the lord doesnt expect instant  perfection but he does expect constant improvment! and he is so proud of every step that we take!! we can not forget that! with his help it is possible to reach our goals. like climbing a tall mountain we will all need oxygen at some point. we CANNOT do it alone. nor do we have to! 

i know this is the gosple of jesus christ and i know how incrdibly blessed i am to be in it and to have been born in it!! that you for every single one of you for all you did for me! i wouldnt be who i am if not for every one that cares about me enough to read this! thank you! have a fantastic week!!
