Solo Envíalo

The grind has yet to stop down here in the promised land. Lots of crazy stuff happening but I wouldn't have it any other way. First off, found out that Christmas is on the 24th, which totally blew my mind. Also we have ran into quite a few English speakers this week, which means Spanglish and funny words. We had running water twice which was pretty cool, it had been a while without using a bucket to shower. Roasted marshmallows on a cardboard box, got a whole buncha free pupusas, prayed and found the missing iguana of friend of ours, climbed a tree and saved a cat, taught the youth of San Bartolo how to say, "Whats up dude?", played guitar at an old mans house while inviting him to be baptized, met Santa Claus, and listened to a bunch of members of our ward try to sing Christmas songs in English. They were very close. All in all, I can safely say it was another great week in Las Canas. Excited to spend my first Christmas here.

But to explain my title, we have really been trying to focus in and do work this past week and heading into next year. For anyone who knew me before the mission, you know I was always a big fan of Sending It. which has more or less become our motto here. Good things aren't just gonna happen, miracles don't just fall in your lap. This isn't just for missions either, it applies to life. To reach a goal or accomplish something, yeah usually some divine assistance is required. But it wont do us any good unless we get up, get going, and go as hard as we can. Or in other words, send it. And just in case you thought this was Elder Moulton Doctrine, I got a scripture to back it up.

DyC 66:6

Tarry not many days in this place; go not up unto the land of Zion as yet; but inasmuch as you can send, send; otherwise, think not of thy property.

SO basically my point is this, a new year is coming up, and there's always opportunities that come with it. But as a missionary I have come to find that it wont do us one bit of good unless we rise up and work to make it count. I hope everyone is having a happy holidays and is ready for Christmas, whether you choose to celebrate it on the 24th or 25th.
