OKAY.... So, these last couple weeks
have been crazy. San Marcos is really far away from everything, and I
have to go to Cholu a lot, and.... BAH. Stuff gets hard sometimes.
BUT, I'm happy and working hard. Finally, I'll give you guys the
laydown of San Marcos.
San Marcos is in the
South, but it's BEAUTIFUL and the climate is super nice, unlike the rest
of the south. It's really far away from everything, and as such the
ward is just starting out. By that, I mean there is no ward. Nor is
there a branch. We are just a group. A group of like, 5 active members
and us. One active preisthood holder who is the group president.
Other than that... It's us.
We usually end
up directing the sacrament meetings, blessing and passing the sacrament,
giving the talks, giving the classes, even taking the tithings of the
few active members (like, 3 or 4). It has been really interesting and
I'm learning a LOT. We have a LOT of investigators, which are all
willing to listen, but struggling to act.... But then again, with such a
small LDS population here, it's hard to blame them. It's been really
crazy.... But it's a huge adventure. Every day is an adventure,
learning new things, growing and trying to accomplish things that seem
impossible.
Honestly, it's hard to know what
to tell you guys. I guess, if I could... I just want to say that it
amazes me the way everything in the gospel seems to fit together. I'm
so far from being a perfect person, and this area reminds me of that....
But then I come to realize that the hardest moments come when I lack
the very fundamental of missionary work. That's what I think I need to
tell you all.
I've said it before, and yet I
feel like it's the thing we manage to forget the most.... It all, still,
without fail, comes down to love. If we love, and learn to love more
purely, it all fits together.
I will have more things to tell you in the coming weeks, but until then, that's all I can leave with you. Love you guys.
