Elder Oliver Once again. How is everybody doing?? I
hope wonderful as usual. I am not going to lie I was very very delighted
to hear of the Utah Victory over BYU! It sounds like it was a crazy
game!!! I definitely wish I could have seen but I am sure that will
watch highlights when I return. It is always a good game between BYU
Utah that is why they are so fun you never who is going to win. I was surprised and happy to hear that Wynn quit the team. He has never really
been my favorite. And now we see how classy he really his. But anyway
not important. haha. I am glad that it was a good game!
This was an interesting week. And when I say interesting I mean
difficult. haha. This past weekend was the independence weekend of
Mexico. So it was crazy all weekend. I almost got nailed with a firework
haha. But besides that nothing happened. Last night and the night
before we could not sleep because there were so many fireworks. And they
were lighting fireworks all night!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha. But that is ok.
I was fine with that. The part that was hard is that all of our
investigators were out of town visiting families. It was a bummer
because we were excited to see them and we had prepared some pretty
powerful lessons for them. But I am glad as well that they were able to
go spend time with family and enjoy themselves. We are working really
hard to find new people to teach and it is something that we are
struggling with. The one thing that I am learning here in the mission is
that I am far from perfect. I am learning something new everyday about
how can improve as a missionary and as a person. That is one of the
reasons that the gospel is so amazing. We can always improve. We always
become more like our savior. I am glad that in this life we are not
going to finish the journey. Because I know how weak I am and how much I
can improve and it motivates me to change the things I need to change.
To strive harder today than I did yesterday. It is easy here in the
mission because we are always praying and fasting and talking about the
savior. But It is something that we all need to do wherever we are.
Because that is when we grow. And if we fall (which we all fall in
something at sometime) What a great opportunity it is to grow. I know
that we could have done more this past week to help our investigators.
Elder Cruz and I both felt that we should have done more. We both felt
really bad. But then we began to talk about what we did wrong and what
we are going to do to fix it. And we got so excited for this week to
improve the things that we lacked so that our investigators can
progress. It was something so special and I learned a great lesson. We
are going to do things in our lives that make us feel bad, or guilty, It
is in these moments that the atonement carries us. To improve and
remember so that we don't fall in the same mistake. We become perfect in
this area in our lives. We are slowly perfecting ourselves one aspect at
a time. It is so awesome the power of the atonement I am grateful for
lessons I learned this past week.
I love you all so much and I hope that you are having a wonderful
day! And week! I want to give a shout out to Miranda! happy Birthday
Friday! I hope it is wonderful!!!! Once again thank you for all of your
support I hope that you have a great week!!!!!!! I love you all so
much!!!
Con Amor Elder Oliver
