But God always blesses us. His plan is perfect. I remember when I first came to Paterson. I hated being here. I wanted to go back to the CCM. I wanted to go home. Now, I want to stay here. He has called me somewhere else, and I have hope that God has something planned for me. He has something better than anything I can imagine. I am going to meet new friends and see new places. It is going to be fun. It may be hard, but it will be worth it. And I can make it what I want it to be. I am excited for the new area and a new companion.
This week was fantastic. We worked hard and we saw miracles. Aldo will be baptized next week. In one week he will be ready, and I am confident he will stay active and be a wonderful member in the church. His family will soon follow. So cooooool! I came out here for him.
The Jeppsons leave this week, and the Taggarts come. Seriously, it's the week of major changes. I am super excited to work in a new area and share the gospel with those that God puts in my path.
Family I need your prayers. My anxiety is up. I am doing really well, but I just don't want to fall back into self pity mode. I love you all so much. And I know as you pray for me, I will be more happy.
I have a testimony of the Atonement. Although I am not perfect, God makes it up. He loves me. I keep thinking about the words President Mitchell always said, "life is good in the gospel." I know it is. Regardless of our circumstances, life is always good when we are living is gospel. There is always something to be grateful for. I know the Book of Mormon is true. I am more sure now than I have ever been that this is the Church of Jesus Christ. I believe He directs and guides it, not only on the world scale, but in a personal level as well. He directs wards, branches, and individuals.
Love you
Waz good
