This week could be called the greenie broken week.
This week we've been able to rest about two times a day once in the morning at 12 and then again at 5pm for dinner the rest of our time has been solid work from 6:30 in the morning till 10:30 at night. We've been so busy that we haven't been able to finish everything we need to do each day. This week is already turning out to be the same. Today is the first day in a week we've had to just sit down and rest. It has been a miracle that we can get up in the morning get on our bikes and go all day. I know I haven't been doing this alone. For example yesterday we had a Zone conference 4 miles south of us. We didn't have a ride, so at 6 in the morning after a full week of work we said a short prayer that we could make it to the conference and have energy for the rest of the day. The weather was perfect the sun was behind the clouds the entire trip. The temperature couldn't have been more than 78 degrees. Honestly it was a miracle and I was smiling the whole ride down. I don't know how or what is keeping me going. I've never done anything harder than this missionary work.
We did have a wonderful baptism for a young man who has been taught for the last few months, and his mother and father came. They were so grateful for what we had done, when really all we did was teach him about the Gospel. Yet another lesson in how the Gospel changes lives and always for the better if we let it.
I can tell you how much I miss everyone at home. When I see people that we teach I always wonder if I have friends at home that could have been helped by me being a better example.
I'm happy to say that I'm still alive and kicking.
I'd love to hear from you all about how your lives are going. We can always use some good news from the world that isn't a dry desert.
Love from one of the most tired missionaries in Mesa.
