A New Transfer

¡Saludes!

This week was not as bad as i thought it would be. My new companion is really cool. Our new area really is humongous, but it is SO pretty.

We´ve got a good amount of people to teach, so that keeps us busy enough. Today we went to Ambato and I bought a guitar! So I´ll be working on that for a while.

I feel the hand of God in my life. I can say that with conviction, without a shadow of a doubt. This is where I´m meant to be, and He wants me to be the best man i can be. There is no greater honor than receiving His help.

¡Tengan una buena semana!

P.S. I forgot the monthly poem last week, so here it is so far:

"Hurrah for Israel! My work has begun!
I'm ready for trials, bring on the fun!
I give these next two years to my Lord!
I wield the Holy Armour, shield, and sword!

Hurrah for Israel! What more can I say?
May the Refiner's fire light my way!
Awake my soul! Rejoice my heart!
My Lord, please make me as thou art!

Hurrah for Israel! The field is white!
The world is dark, but our light is bright!
Temptations run rampant, the natural man is strong.
But my God is with me, Her leads me along!

Hurrah for Israel! Have faith in Christ!
For when we fall He helps us Rise!
His Atonement is there, and His love is unchanging,
He can calm any storm that´s raging!

Hurrah for Israel and the Blacksmith above!

I´m folded and battered by His perfecting Love!

Through His great care and patience, a sword I will become,

A weapon against the darkness, Until our savior doth come!"
