Interviews, Temple, Love and Patience - The Mission Life

Buenas Tardes Familia!!!
  Our week was phenomenal!!! We had so many cool opportunities it was ridiculous. For starters this Tuesday we had interviews with president Haynie, he's an amazing man and very spiritual. However the coolest part of the whole thing was that we were able to go and do a temple session right before. The L.A. temple is beautiful and will forever hold a special place in my heart. I have seen so many hearts been opened up just by the spirit that you can feel around the temple, but when you actually enter it you feel incredible its something that you can't quite explain but you just know that temples really are the house of the lord. I learned so much from president Haynie and his advice and I can truly testify that he has been called to lead and guide this mission at this time.
  Another big focus that our mission is doing is service, so every Thursday morning we get to go to the food bank and give service for about 2 hours. Something that I've noticed does leave a big impact on other people and helps us to find others to teach. Because we have been giving service at the food drive they are going to put in article in the paper about us. Another huge opportunity we had this week to give service was at the shepherds home. Which is a homeless shelter for families who don't have anything and need a place to stay for the night. (that's what the pictures are) So we assembled about 40 bunk beds to put in these rooms. And around 15 families can stay in this shelter. Service is one of the greatest ways that we can follow in the saviors footsteps. I would invite everyone to try and give some form of service this week. And I promise as you do you will draw nearer to the savior.
  This week one of the greatest things I've learned is patience even when its hard the lord requires of us to be patient and continue faithfully. Sometimes you are gonna get a little frustrated and its going to be annoying some of the things that happen to you. But as long as you are patient you can  endure through anything that could come your way. I love you all so much have a good week and sigan fieles. Les quiero.
