Tender Mercies


Well dang. Another week that felt like a day... This week was a week full of tender mercies of the lord thank goodness!! First of all you all heard of all of the problems we were having this last week. About not having a fridge, the infestation of bugs and mice, no power and all of that good stuff. Well this week we finally got the office to bring us a new fridge. It probably wouldn't have come for another month or something because Nagua is the furthest area from the office. However I have the sickest mission president there ever was, and he called the office elders and told them that we better have the fridge this week or else haha. And the fumigator finally came after us waiting for him for like a month. Also about those dang mice, I caught 5 of them this week so I hope that was all of them. One problem that hasn't been resolved is somehow our bread is disappearing from out kitchen in the nights. I woke up this morning and stepped on a piece. I was like ¨What the??¨ then there was a trail of crumbs leading outside. After following it I fount in the corner of out porch all of the bread that has been disappearing with little bites taken out of every piece. I also found a little extra. There were little cat turds right next to the stolen bread. Now all of us need to come up with a strategy to get rid of this bread stealin turd poopin cat! It sneaks in our house every night and eats out food.... And suggestions?? i h8 kats. 

Dang i just wish that I could strap a go pro on to my head so you guys could see all of the crap that goes on here. 
Anyways other than all o that fun stuff. This week has been good for the most part. Leonardo (the one whose son died last week) is such an amazing example of one who is Christlike. So the next visit we had with him was awesome. He had all of these questions about what happens when we die. Now Leonardo isn't even a member right now but every week he comes to church. He pays tithing. He has even given money to people in the word who have had problems. The thing is, is that the people he has given money to probably have more than him. When we told him about all of the things that happens after death and how we can live as families for eternity if we go through the temple. He told us that he is determined to go to the temple one day and do all of the temple work for everyone that has passed away in his family. He has really been such a big example to me about what it really means to be selfless. I am now challenging myself and also all of you to follow the example of Leonardo in being selfless. I am going to try super hard this week to not thing about what I need but what others need. I am so lucky to be serving a mission right now and I give all of my thanks to God and my lovely parents. I really don't know why I have been so blessed in my life.

Love Elder Morgan
