Diligence and Faith

This week we had a training with our mission president. He said that there are a lot of missionaries that didn´t have a lot of urgency in their work, and that there are a lot of people getting "sick" an we have had our record low in baptisms. So he gave us a training on why we should work hard and how we can baptize more. He talked a lot about Faith, Family and Temples. These three things he always talks about! I love his trainings so much! He has a scripture for this mission now - it´s Alma 26:22. I won't talk a lot about it, but read it.  It is a scripture that explains a lot so simply! He also helped me a lot with my diligence (haha) because now every time I feel really tired or I don´t feel like talking to people on the street (those days of disanimation) I hear his words: "The Hour of the Lord is COMING."  

These words a like my nos-  haha I get fired again.  This week I worked harder then I've ever worked on my mission, and I was super tired at the end, but I never felt more satisfaction for my work. Sadly, we´re not findin many people to teach, but I have this feeling that God is testing my Diligence and Faith -- that He will send us to the people that I need to meet in my pathway! I´m super excited to see what´ll happen this week! 

I`ve been changing a lot this week and have been learning a lot about Faith, and I've started studying everyday for a week an attribute of Christ (PMG Chapter 6).  It's been a really great way to learn more about Christ and the attributes I want to develop. It's really cool because it's like Heavenly Father opened my mind! I love it!

I love you, guys!  Thanks for the update.
