Well can I just say that this week started out as one of the most difficult weeks of my life, so far. I have been dealing with all of my district being, well inicuo, oh sorry wicked. They dont want to follow the rules. And its all coming from one person these desires to break rules, our District Leader. He has dragged down this district but I had to make a stand. Remember the talk from President Monson, I think in 2011 October? Dare to be Mormon? Well I had to remember that all week and for the past couple. Thanks to the book, Teachings of the Prophets, Joseph Smith, I have been learning that behind every trial that will undoubtedly be thrown our way there are blessings to counter the trial. I like to think of the way we receive blessings as to the law of Physics of Newton. For every force there is an equal opposite force. We get hit with trials all of the time that are meant to build our faith but also can break it. But we should remember that there are blessings equal in force as to the trials waiting for us.
That is what has happened with me!!! I got a call last night from one of the assistants. He told me that President Turk wants me to be a District Leader in an Area called Progreso (Progress). Yep. We got changes this week and Im finally leaving Otuzco. And Im going to be a district Leader... Oh wow weird. I dont know what to think in all honesty. Well its all good haha. Im super happy that I will be leaving here. I have been struggling everyday to be obedient for the negative influence of others but I was able to support the trial.
With every trial comes blessings. The blessings come in three different times. 1 immediately 2 soon in the future 3 in Heaven. BUT THEY ALWAYS COME. Well That is my letter for the week.
This next week I will be writing you from Trujillo in, wait for it, my new area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Im so happy haha!!!!!!!
Love you all a ton!!!!!
Sam
