"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant."
- Robert Louis Stevenson
It takes a long time as you are planting. You spend a lot of time working to start something. You only see the work you put in, and you don’t see the effects of it. All you see is the work. This week was really hard as we went out and worked all day long with very little success. I guess that another missionary will be able to come along and harvest the crops. I have been out here for almost 5 months, and I sure love everything that I have done. I have met so many people that all have a lot of problems or had a question in their lives that could not be answered by the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love my opportunity to be here in Chile. I have never felt so great. I love being here. I have said it before, but I have been weighed, I have been measured, and I have been deemed worthy to come here to Chile to share the gospel. I have been tried, I have been tested, I have been stretched, and in the end, I have come out a better person. I have seen changes in myself, and I know that they are only possible through the help of our Heavenly Father.
I have had a few hard weeks since I have left my home and family. I have been working since I made it to Chile. I have gone to bed with literally no strength left in me, and it feels good to leave it all in the field. I have a no regrets since I have come out here.
I love you all so much for what you have done for me. Thank you so much. I have such a strong testimony of the power of God to change lives. I have seen it and I cannot deny it, for I know that God knows it.
Elder Gale
