Solado Caído

Well another week in paradise, you already know that we have been out here grinding. This week was full of meetings and trainings too but its been fun. Honestly, I feel like we have learned a bunch. Got to work with a bunch of cool missionaries this week which was fun. Its been a ride recently. We also finally finished filling the rat hole in our house so we will soon be able to take showers without fear of getting our toes bitten off. And we have finally mastered the art of
making banana smoothies, so hit us up if you'd like to place an order.

This week has really taught me something tho. It has really been kind of a ride recently, like I said before, and this week was even more crazy. 3 of the people we are teaching had severe medical problems and 2 were hospitalized and a couple more had some serious problems with work and family things. That, to be honest, is one of the harder things about the mission. You get to be so close to people changing their lives and receiving blessings, but you also see the people you love going through hard times. Its hard to see the people I have come to know and care for so much struggle and fall. But this week as we were walking down the street after being rejected by the
nice lady who makes tortillas by the bus stop (its a shoutout and not a callout, she's actually a very nice lady) we said, we may have lost the battle but we won't lose the war. And like my title says, a lot of times we got a man down. We lose the battle. We fail or we fall or we
experience something that knocks us back a bit. But what I love about being here, serving in God's army for lack of a better phrase, is that I know we won't lose the war. I think we never really understand just how much good we can do, or how much good we are doing in the moment.
Nothing good dies in vain. Evevry little bit counts. So as your weekly Elder Moulton ranting sesion comes to a close this week, let me just say one thing, don't sweat it if you fell down, messed up, got hit, or took an L. Because the war goes on, and we already know the outcome. . .Its a dub.

Keep on keeping on, tune in next week

SALUUUU
Elder Moulton
