Alright everyone. Lots to talk about from this week. Some good times, and a really, really low low. First of all, an elder in my mission, Elder LaMadrid, had a fatal bicycle accident last week. It hit us all pretty hard, as I'm sure you might imagine. We had a small devotional as a mission on Saturday to go over what happened, and also to offer help to anybody who needed it. We also were invited to attend the funeral over Zoom on Sunday. Overall, pretty much one of the worst possible things that can happen out here on the mission. Please include his family in your prayers.
The rest of the week, however, went pretty well! We got to go help some people put up roofing in their houses, because we're going into the rainy season here, and a flooded house is definitely not a thing you want to have. We also had the opportunity to go to the temple today, from which I'll be taking my inspiration for this week's spiritual thought:
So, in Spanish, Endowment is Investidura. From which, we can take the English: Invest. And, of course, when we are investing in something, we can expect it to grow when certain conditions are fulfilled. For example, when you invest in starting a business, there are a wide array of things that you can do to improve and help that investment to grow. Same concept here, as we obey and keep the covenants we have made, we will continue to see an increase in blessings, a higher return on our investment. I thought that was kinda cool.
Anyway, that's all from me! See you around!
