Elder Churata is from Peru, and he has 9 months in the mission...and i am learning a lot from him. in different ways. He is such a humble awesome guy, but sometimes struggles with the motivation and desire to do things...which has had the opposite effect on me, i have never wanted to walk as fast, to work as hard, to contact, to teach, to do all the things with more focus and determination than now...well not write now..im a little tired...its P day. haha but seriously this past week, i have felt better than ever. Yeah there are still tons of problems, i still struggle sometimes with spanish, still dont know everything, its hard because we dont have like any investigators right now, etc. But...i dont know. Heavenly Father has blessed me with a fire, a pasion, a desire that wasnt there before. I get up in the mornings and excercise my heart out, and study hard, and im trying to be more punctual to things and im not afraid to talk in the lessons, i am pretty much managing the area right now,...Im still not perfect...WAYYY far from it...but i have never felt the desire to try sooo strongly in my life, or in the mission.
My testimony of change has really grown this past week. Change is hard (well not always i guess, if all of the sudden i had a year supply of chocolate, that wouldnt be too hard of a change) but i have really seen that through change and challenges, trials, we can learn things that we could never learn without difficulties. I am so grateful for the hard things that i have been given, because i have felt myself change, i have felt the growth that comes with them, I hope i can make the most of every situation that i have and learn and grow from it.
