The True Measure of Success

¡Hola!

This week was great. On Tuesday we were able to give service and cut wood for Wilfredo one of our investigators who fell from his motorcycle last Saturday, and on his birthday too! We gave him a blessing and he's doing a lot better, but still recovering. This week we had our stake conference and four of our investigators came, Wilfredo and Familia Ramirez. It was great to hear all the inspired messages from Presidente y Hermana Vasquez, the stake president, and other speakers. Our investigators enjoyed it and when we visited Familia Ramirez, Hermana Ramirez started praying the correct way just from listening to how we pray in the church. We're still working to get new investigators and help the ones we have progress by helping them repent and with the goal of getting to the temple.

My mom told me in an email to remember how true success is measured. I know that success isn't measured by only baptisms. It's important, but sometimes we're the seeders and not the harvesters. What also matters is your personal progress. All we have to do is give 100% with faith and whatever happens is the will of the Lord. I'm grateful for the blessings that I've received and been promised. As I read my Patriarchal Blessing and meditate about the blessings it contains and what I need to do to change and be better in order to receive those blessings my desire to repent and become more like the Savior and my love for Him increase. I'm grateful to be here in the mission field. I know that I'm here at the right time and right place to fulfill the will of my Father and that as I have unshaken faith in Him and consecrate my life to His service He will bless me greatly.

¡Levántate! ¡Podemos hacerlo ahora!

Love,
Elder San Diego
