Don't know if you could tell by the title but, its that time again. We out here changin everything. Long story short, this Wednesday I packed up my stuff and headed to a new area with a new companion. And things are good. My new area is a city named Apopa, and my comp is a beast. Elder Mojica, he's from here in El Salvador and has less than 3 months left on the mission and hes a stud. Its super hot here tho, and our shower is broken so our house is always wet and somehow even hotter than outside but we are doing good, we have running water, a couple of fans and a hammock, what more could we need? The work is pretty solid here too, the people are awesome and someone even gave us ice cream the other day. Although another house had a dog that kept biting my arm so its like 50/50. But on the real, loving it here in Apopa. It was hard to say goodbye to Cojutepeque, I may have even teared up with a couple families, and Elder Felipe was hilarious, but we already have had some crazy amazing experiences here in Apopa and I'm excited for whats coming down the road.
Scripture I wanna share this week is one that we shared at a birthday party we accidentally interrupted. Its found in John 16:33-
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Basically in life, we all got our issues and sometimes it feels like everything is moving a million miles an hour. And peace is something that's very hard to find. Ive been doing a lotta thinking recently, in Spanglish because I am starting to forget English, and I think peace is something that everyone is looking for. Its the answer to a lot of questions and the solution to a lot of problems. What I like about this scripture is that it explains how we can get that peace, and it explains the purpose of the gospel of Christ. Also it helped us out because we didn't have a birthday present so we figured offering peace would do the trick. Totally worked. So when life is moving fast, or when you are frustrated or with whatever comes this week, just remember there is peace in Christ, and that's a pretty valuable present. Hope everyone had a great week, thanks for all the love.
