Hola Feliz
Ano Nuevo!
Wow this past week was New
Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, and now we are in 2015, that’s so crazy.
On New Year’s Eve as I
anticipated the fireworks that would soon go off in the middle of the night I
had to take a moment to just realize how far I have come. I would have never
thought a year ago that I would be serving a mission in a foreign country. Yes,
I always had a desire to serve a mission and I knew I would eventually be
serving one in 2014, but to actually be here and be in the moment the feeling
is incredible.
My New Year’s Eve this
year was so different. A year ago on December 31, 2014 as a 17 year old kid my
worries and thoughts were:
- The grades on my finals
in my school classes
- how could I wake up at
6:30am to go work at McCook Boiler and Pump Co (when I would go to sleep so
late)
- and of course which girl
would I dance with next at the church’s New Year’s Eve dance.
Now as an 18 years old disciple
of the Lord, this year my thoughts were directed to the people I am teaching,
and how I can address their needs through prayer and scriptures and the Holy Ghost.
My mind is focused on them, I love the people I teach, they really are my
friends.
Crazy how times have
changed, I guess you will never truly know where you will be a year from now.
But as for me a year
from now I will still be serving my mission and sharing the gospel with my
friends of Peru.
