Hola everyone!
Sorry I haven't written a group email in so long. Not much has been going on here in Iztapalapa! We have a lot of investigators that are progressing very slowly, so i'll let you know when the baptisms start happening! (probably when my companion goes home haha)
Anyway, since I don't have much time, I'll just put some pictures to update you guys. I had the great blessing to go to the temple this week on Wednesday. It was one of the best and most spiritual experiences that I've had on my mission.
I hope everyone has a safe and fun Thanksgiving. Never forget the blessings that we receive every single day from The Lord. Be grateful for the people that are in your life. Be grateful for the things you have. Like I've said many times, the area that I'm in right now isn't really that rich. It's really hard to see how families live. Not having enough water to even shower or wash the dishes or clothes. Dirt floors, no money. I mean, it's hard, and they know it's hard. BUT they are grateful. Sure, of course they wish they had cars and money, but I can truly testify that these people are humble. They just put their trust in the Lord. Some of the strongest and most faithful members of the church are some of the poorest people I have met, but they don't care, they just keep going every day.
Always give thanks to The Lord for what you have. Food, family, whatever it may be. Again, hope everyone was the best thanksgiving ever. Remember the Savior Jesus Christ and be sure to thank Him for the Atonement.
I stole a little part of President Mechams letter to the misison, and I'm goning to share it with you:
My hope is that as we begin each day for the rest of our lives that we can feel a deep feeling of gratitude for all Heavenly Father has given us. This includes the trails and challenges of life. Yes I have learned that The Lord doesnt care about easy but oh how He does care. Take time to be still and ponder upon all the blessings of your life. And where you would be without the gospel of Christ in your life and His atonement. Learn how to find joy and gratitude as you see and experience the simple things of life. Like a beautiful blue sky, the song of a bird, the smile from a stranger because you said hi, the right to practice our beliefs and the love of family and friends. There are so many blessing which we have.
Love you all,
Elder Te
