¡Hola Familia!
It sounds like everyone is doing really well and that everyone is enjoying this special time of the year with all the basketball. Dad, thanks for the email. I really appreciated it. Cory, congrats on the Eagle. It looks like I will still be the only non eagle scout in the family. haha And I am glad to here that Elder Jones is okay. I heard about the tsunami and wondered if it had effected him. I am sure that him and all the other missionaries in Japan will have a lot of cool experiences in this coming year.
So my new companion is Elder Ramirez. He is from D.F. It is like Washington D.C. of Mexico. I have really been impressed with our companionship and I have really felt that this is the exact companion that I need right now. I have the feeling that I am going to learn a lot with him and that this change is going to be really good. This past week I have already learned a lot and our companionship seems to be stregnthening everyday.
This week was harder for us. We worked really hard and found some good investigators, but nobody came to church. It is frustrating to work so hard and to feel like you have people that are going to come, but when you pass by, nobody is home or they can`t come. It is a constant trial of faith. We can`t ever stand still. We always need to be looking for solutions for the problems and trials that we encounter.
But I am really learning a lot here in Querètaro. A lot about myself and a lot about how we need to change. Change is such an important principle in life. It is every constant and it is something that we can always count on. We always need to be doing the things we should so that we can change and progress. And then we have to trust that we are changing. Something I am seeing is that we don`t change in an instant. Little by little, we change and progress. We learn and we grow and then as we look back, we realize how far we have come. I am so grateful for change and for all the changes that I have had in my life. It has and continues to help me grow.
I am also grateful for the many tender mercies of the Lord. Everyday we should take time to recognize the hand of the Lord in our lives and see His many tender mercies. I am so grateful for the many tender mercies that I see everyday. Something that has really helped me is my journal. In the mission, I have really seen the importance of a journal. I continue to write in it everyday and still haven`t missed a day. It is tough, but as I go back and read what I have wrote, I have seen how I have changed and I have found many answers to questions. It has really been a blessing to keep it.
Well I love you guys. THanks for all the support, prayers, thoughts, letters, etc. You guys are really a stregnth to me everyday. I am so grateful for our family and for the great bond that we have. We are one of a kind. Enjoy this time of year. Cheer on those Tar-Heels! And remember that great blessing of the Atonement. We always need to keep our perspective and remember the great blessings of the gospel. Thanks for everything.
Con Amor
Elder Glover
