Rollin with the punches!
This week we had lots of "punches" I guess, but it wasn't too much bad stuff. We ended up having to go to Aguascalientes for two days for some capacitaciones/trainings, but it ended up being a good time, since we were able to hang out with Presidente and Hermana Redd a whole lot; they are great examples of living the gospel and are really just there to help us out and to love us so much, it was a fun/hilarious time with them!
It was a good set to trainings, especially that they'll be my last trainings in the mission, hitting a lot more of those 'last' events, its getting pretty crazy! Speaking of firsts and lasts, yesterday we assisted at a funeral of the wife of a faithful elderly brother in the ward. She had been bedridden and suffering for lots of years, so it is nice for her to have some rest now. I remember how three days earlier me and my companion had been practicing the priesthood ordinances and got to the blessing of a grave and I remarked saying "I never have and probably will never perform this ordinance in my whole mission." Well two days later the Lord proved me wrong...
Oh well, anyways we are just chuggin along down here in Terrazas, lots of people making sacrifices for us and for the work in general; nothing I'd rather be doing than be in the Lord's work!
Love you all!
