Missions are rough. Some days I just feel like crap and wonder if I can do this for the next 2 years. I miss home and my companion and I do not get along. I'm struggling with my testimony and continue to doubt. It's just rough, but somehow I'm holding on. I'm going to fight through it. The Lord loves me, and blesses me with tender mercies and miracles every day. Today at church I was feeling pretty crappy about every, and a member (Bro. Crockett) walked up to me, put his hands on my shoulders, looked me in the eye and said - "Focus. Missions suck at first don't they? Hang in there, it gets better every month". I was surprised because that was exactly what I needed to hear. Things like that is evidence that God loves me. Well it was Father's day today. Tina and her family came to church again today and brought a friend as well. They only stayed for Sacrament meeting, but it was good, I'm really glad they came. We had dinner at the May's and ate homemade lasagna. It was so good! I was so full! They are a great family. After dinner we went tracting on a full tummy. After we tracted we stopped by a less active family - the Chotes'. They are an older couple. He has some sweet cars! We took a look at his cars and talked for a bit. It was a good night.
