"This one goes out to my brother/missionary. I cannot believe he has almost been out 14 months. I can only imagine how life is in Guatemala, all I know is that he loves it. Here is an excerpt from his last email. He makes me want to be a better person EVERYDAY.
"i got a great letter from my mission president. he just promised me the branch would flourish and that the field is ready to harvest and my companion and i are going to do it. its weird to think that at this time last year i was just starting to come out into the field. this area brought back some of those feelings. fear of the unknown, lack of confidence, loneliness and many others, but as i have started to lose myself and get to work i have learned the more you worry and think about yourself the less you become, and when you lose track of your self one day you`ll look back and find out how far you have come. like the scriptures say. i have also learned the importance of giving the lord an accounting of our day. as we do he will give us revelation on how we could have improved and what we can plan on for the next day. he is an active communicator in prayer if we give him the time to talk. rely on him and as he promises he will take us under his yoke and make our problems his and we will be able to pull much more than our own strength. i love where i am and i love the progress we have all made this last year and i am excited to see how much farther we can go."
