#50 Fear

Good Morning!

It's August 8th and I'm wearing a jacket. It doesn't get much better
than this! This week has been a good but a struggle. First of all, we
had a really good lesson with Natalia on Saturday, and she told us she
was going to come to church. Then come Sunday, she wasn't there. What
the heck? This is the second week in a row she has bailed on us. We
have a lesson with her on Tuesday, so hopefully we can figure out what
is going on. It has been a slow process, but I do believe that she
will get baptized in the future. It's just going to take some time.

I'm thinking about becoming a certified driving instructor when I go
home. Not really, but I should because I'm getting a lot of practice.
Elder Acosta takes his driving test this Thursday. He really wants to
practice beforehand, so we go to the church almost every night to
practice. Let's just say, one of our tires is a little low on air
because of some intense parallel parking practice. It has been a fun
experience.

I have learned a lot about happiness on my mission. It is something
that everyone has in common. Everyone is on their own search for
happiness, and we all have different things that make us happy. There
is only one thing that makes everyone happy. That thing is the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. Every person on this earth regardless of differences
can feel of that indescribable joy that comes from the power of the
Atonement. As you feel of that joy throughout this week, share it with
someone else, so we can help others arrive at the happiness that they
seek. I love you! :)
