Well
I can honestly say that it is always a highlight to open up my email and write to
all of you.
This
week, it rained everyday... again.
We
had a ton of people celebrating Independence Day so we had to get in the house
early on Tuesday. This place is nuts on the 15th of September.
We
did it again, another baptism. We baptized the mom of Luis, Elizabeth. I don’t know why
she looks mad in the picture…she is super happy all the time. Mexicans don’t
like to smile for pictures.
Our
other converts are doing good, all active so far, none of them really have much
time in the church but all of them are still coming and being active. They don’t want to invoke the wrath of Elder Galbraith,
so they stay in the church! Ha-ha! We always fight on in the work of the
Lord.
We
are going to sing in our mission conference so we have been practicing a lot,
and you know how much I love singing...
It
was a good week overall.
I
really am trying hard to be a leader. I
work hard, and I give it a ton, and I know that there is still just a little
bit that I can do to be even better to make sure that I am a leader, that
people can depend on me and that I can help them.
I
work hard here. We have had a baptism
every week in September minus one, so far. So I feel pretty blessed, and I
officially have 6 months! Is that crazy or what?
The
mission is all about goals, it’s all about setting goals and doing everything
possible to achieve them and make them happen. I am learning a ton about being
dedicated and going to the finish.

I
was thinking about the talks from the Mexico City Temple rededication
and It was something really cool to hear Jeffrey R Holland speak, and we
had David A Bednar pass by my first change here and so that was real cool too,
they are really powerful men.
As
for a turning point I haven’t had one real powerful one, but I am not a flake
either, for me it’s hard work every day, trying and studying and working to put
the building blocks that make me a better missionary that make me a
champ. And I am trying hard; I spend a lot of time on my knees trying to
better myself. Their words (Prophet and Apostles) are modern day scripture and
they help me out so much. It’s really life changing.
I
just want to let you know that I know without a doubt that this church is the
only true church of God on earth, and it’s the Church of Jesus Christ and he
lives. He loves you and he wants you to
be successful. I love you all so much, and I miss you like crazy but it is
worth it to be separate for a while so that I can grow and learn and you
too. God knows our pains and he makes them smiles, he knows our concerns
and he makes them happiness, he knows our weaknesses and makes them
strengths.
Keep
smiling and keep fighting on, good will come to those who are patient.
I
love you!
Elder
Galbraith
