Hope everything is well, fingers crossed that nothing too crazy is going on out there in the real world. As for my week, not much different. Staying on the grind and loving every minute of it. Mainly just every minute down is one minute closer to El Salvador haha. But no, the MTC is awesome and I'm super happy to be here. Our lessons with Veronica (the very petite woman in the blue) have been going great but she kinda hit us with a curveball Friday and it looks like she will no longer be meeting with us... Cuz she has work. She will continue the lessons with Elders at a different time, and we have high hopes for her baptism. She also left us with a referral (the other woman in the picture) so we have a new friend to teach! Updates to come on that one.
Scripture for this week is DyC 58:3
Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation.
This week has had some rough spots for sure but I know God has a plan for us, a plan that is usually beyond our understanding. Accepting that isn't easy, pero I have seen already the blessings that come from being ok with the fact that life isn't always going to go the way I, Elder Moulton, want it to go. The other thing I love about this verse is just that everything is gonna be ok. Glory comes after tribulation so just keep pushing through.
And in case you're worried, my companion is still half-vegan but I have yet to convert. I've eaten bacon wrapped meatballs, hot wings, and mystery meat every day this week.
Mi companero trabajaba duro, pero yo trabajo mas duro. Which brings us to Spanish. It truly is the Celestial language but it ain't easy. Although any language with words like trabajaba or phrases like basta con la pasta is a language the world should know. (That’s our self made district saying but still, its fun to say) We play sand volleyball basically everyday, and I'm not tryna brag but those Salvadorenos better watch out cuz Distrito 28c doesn't mess around. The big joke in the district now is that I'm on my way out because I am most likely getting released from being District Leader this week, which is a little bittersweet but I have already been DL a week longer than usual and I think my fellow missionaries are checking their watches ;)
