I love you.
This week was pretty good, we had a baptism fall through but we will keep working hard and we have some other ones coming up. The hardest part of my mission right now is that I've hit the point where I truly love those I serve, so it is devastating when they use their agency in ways they know wont really make them happy. I think I have the smallest glimpse of how the Lord sees us when we make mistakes. He is just patiently waiting for us to do our part so we can be happy, but we often are to preoccupied to do the simple stuff, like daily scripture study and prayers. We know where the true happiness comes from, so why don't we just do it? It's so simple, just like looking at a snake on a staff to be healed, we want it to be easy, but when it is that easy, we don't believe it!
