This week another transfer starts, which means I only have two
transfers left. The time really went by way to fast, but a lot is
going to happen these last two transfers. It will be a big couple of
transfers for sister ChirChir and I. This past week we put another
potential priesthood on date. We gave him a baptismal date for the end
of October. That was really great. The only problem is he has
serious Word of Wisdom issues. But we are really going to help him to
overcome those. We had a great lesson with him yesterday. He really
wants to change his life for the better, and we are just what he is
looking for. He read the conference Liahona from 2007,and one of the
talks really changed his perspective. Elder Hallstrom talk entitled
Do It Now, really got him excited to change. He knows he can do it,
and he will. So hopefully we can really help him to change, and he
will be baptized also before I go. Other than that. Not much else to
report on. We are just working hard, and I am just really trying to
stay focused on my purpose here. One of the hardest things in life is
to learn to master yourself, especially your thoughts. Controlling
actions has always been pretty easy for me, but controlling my
thoughts is ridiculously difficult. Hopefully before I go home I will
be better able to control my thoughts, but self-mastery is quite the
difficult thing. But I know it can be done, or the Savior would not
have encouraged us to become perfect. So, perfection is possible.
But it isn’t easy. But one day, I am sure I will get there, if I
continue to work hard at it.
