"Every trial and experience you have passed through is necessary for your salvation."
- Brigham Young
I’ve said it before, and I'll say it again... this week was hard! I received my new companion, Elder Jasse from Cordoba, Argentina. He has been out for about a year and 5 months. He loves soccer, and he is a great guy and an even better friend! The work this week was really hard because we are basically in a whitewash (meaning that we don’t know much of the area), and we are working to find all new investigators and trying to start the work here again. I’m not going to lie, this week was full of lists of people to find, doors slammed in our faces, and people using a word that anyone in America would understand. The word is "NO." It was really hard, and all I wanted to do was keep going. But it hurt... it really did. I felt like heaven was sad because so many people said no. I probably heard that word more this week than I have in probably a full month. It was fun because I got to walk and walk and walk. I felt a change in myself this week as I felt that I was able to keep my confidence and excitement high. I usually would have felt really sad earlier on in my mission.
Truly this week was hard and crazy. But full of great experiences to learn from and learn more about myself. This week was full of changes, and I was able to grow more and learn.
Sorry it was so short. I hope next week I can write more. Love you all and have a good week!!!
Elder Gale
