Letter #27 It's Been A Tough Week

¡Hola Familia!

Well it has been a tough week for me this week. But before that, how is everyone doing? I hope well! And since it´s fresh in my mind, yes I can print. All the internet cafes have printers. And I asked about the calling card today, and they are 100 pesos (10 dollars) for an hour. If you want I can buy one, but having you call me is the best way from what I heard. We have changes this Sunday, so depending if I stay or go, I can give you the phone number of the house that I will be at. This has always worked from what I hear. But yeah, let me know what you want to do. Oh, and have you gotten my letter yet. I sent one in the middle of november. Let me know when you get it. Oh and some things you could eat to remind you of me. At Wal-Mart, they sell this Hot Chocolate called Abuelita. It´s pretty good. It has a little spice in it. And also, Jarritos. It´s a Mexican soda and they sell it at Wal MArt and its is soooo good. Those two things are authentic Mexicn stuff you could eat.

But anyways, this has been a really tough week for me. These past two weeks I have just been really stressed and overwhelmed with everything. So I have been studying a lot about faith. And it has helped. So much of missionary work is based on faith. We find with faith, we teach with faith, we learn by faith, we grow by faith. No wonder why it is the first principle of the gospel, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. My faith and my attitude has really what has kept me going this week. We haven´t had much success this past week and of all our investigators, none of them came to church. It was really hard. Everyday I am learning and growing. It´s true, the highs are higher as a missionary and the lows are lower and tougher as a missionary. BUt that is what makes it so great. I always remember to smile no matter what is going on. A smile says a thousand words and changes your outlook. I have really learned the importance of smiling and having a happy countenance, even though things my be flipped upside down. People notice! This week, I want everyone to SMILE!!!! Escpecially DAD!! Because ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy BIrhday Dad!!!! You guys better spoil him!!

But the miracle of the week is that we had a menos activo come to church yesterday. He bore his testimony and it was AWESOME. He has a lot to change, but he has started on the path. It is amazing to see how a little love can go such a long way. Thanks mom for that scripture. One of my fvorties. In everything we do we have to have love...for EVERYONE!!!!

I love you guys. Thanks for all the prayers, support, thoughts. THanks for everything. Remeber this scripture this week, D y C 123:17. I love yáll. Have a good week and stay warm!!!!

Love,

Elder Glover
