What I feel even more is the weather. Leaving Colorado, I'd hoped for more stability in the climate, but received worse. Just this week we had rain and sun, freezing cold and burning hot, and sometimes all of it in the same day. Everyone here is getting sick. :l As for me, I've been able to avoid further sickness for the time being. Booyah! If I could say the same about being tired, I would be jumping off the walls. Unfortunately every man needs his weakness.
This week we'd started visiting a family of members that hasn't visited church in more than two years. Recently, the father had been passing by the church during one of our weekly coordination meetings and invited us to come by. This family has some of the strongest ties to each other and to God than I've seen in a long while. When entering the house, we couldn't help but tell them this. We spoke with them, it appears as if they'd always been active, in both the church and the doctrine for many years. In fact, their daughter even slept with the Book of Mormon near her side! The only problem is that because of persecution and other problems, they stopped going to church. Now, a couple of years later, they spoke with us that they truly feel a hole where the Church once filled, and they don't want to continue this way anymore. This next week, they'll be going to church for sure. ... Unfortunately only my companion will see it. :P
Today I'll be short but sweet. Endure to the end. The gospel of Jesus Christ fills our heart and soul with joy that we sometimes never imagined. However, if we want to maintain this joy we've found, we must continue walking until we arrive. Just as dinner isn't eaten as we enter the door, we must continue until we arrive at the table. As Jacob writes, endure in your path until ye obtain eternal life.
Thanks everyone for the help and support. I'm rooting for you.
