Hey everyone! great week this week, Elder Ortega and I have been a ful working hard every day. He's had lots of good experience working with members and has showed me some good ways to teach and work with them! Its been great, he always has great ideas and the fire to work hard! He keeps us busy for sure!
small highlight from this week was playing ukulele on the roof of our apartment on a Sunday afternoon as the sun was going down with orange trees on either side of me while waiting for the zone leaders to call to give reports and boring stuff. the mission is the greatest, it keeps you busy all the time helping people in the most rewarding way, and then gives you a few magical moments to relax and feel good about life.
That's gonna be my spiritual thought this week: APPRECIATE THE SMALL THINGS IN LIFE! God gives us so many blessings and sometimes we don't even realize how much he's helping us. Try hard to acknowledge when things are going well, or when someone gives you a small act of service or when the moon looks pretty or whatever. All good things come from God, so try to recognize and give thanks for all the good things in your life! There are more than you know!
