Week 18

Big news family, My companion and dear friend Elder Scott has completed his mission and will be flying home to Arizona on wednesday after two years of honorable service to the Lord. 

I could not be more happy for him, but it is always a little sad to see a missionary go home after giving so much to the Lord's work. He told me his is content, and happy, and a little sad. I feel the exact same, because I love Elder Scott and I am going to miss him a lot. 

Also, I will be training a brand new missionary and stay in my are for 12 more weeks. I don't know why but the Lord says I am ready to train. I will find out tomorrow who he is, where he is from, if he speaks spanish or not. And next week I will let you all know what happens. This will be fun but at the same time, really hard. 

I have been thinking a lot lately about all the hard goodbyes, I had to say goodbye to basketball, High School, My Friends, My Family, My Free Time, My Guitar, My Home, Good Food, and after all that Here I am having fun. So I think about how it will be hard to say goodbye to Elder Scott and I remember all those other hard goodbyes that led me to this point. How if I didn't ever say all those difficult goodbyes I would never have met Elder Scott in the first place. The Lord has a very incredible ability to turn a sad goodbye into an incredible new experience. So Yes I am sad to say goodbye to my trainer, but at the same time, I know that there is some great new blessing awaiting me. I have to give up the little amount that I now have to the Lord, and he can in turn give back more. He has never failed me up to this point, and I have a firm Faith that he will not start now. 

The Lord is Good, and He knows what is best. So just go with His timing, His plans, and His guidance and it will be all good. Sometimes we all have to say goodbye to something really really good, but waiting for us is a greater more beautiful blessing. I so testify in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ that all blessings are from God, and he is trying his best to bless us, we just have to follow him. 

I love you all and miss you all

que les vayan bien todos
