"Disfruten la Misión. No la Sufran."

President Maluenda is famous for saying, "Disfruten la misión.  No la sufran."  Which means, "enjoy your mission, don't suffer through it."  I've found that to enjoy your mission, you've got to let yourself have fun, don't sweat the small stuff, and constantly work to be better.  That's what I've been working on this transfer, and every day is more enjoyable.

Yes, life is great down here in Southern Texas...not without its stresses, but it's still fun! :D  Hope all is going well for you!

Do It For the Story!

We are trying to look for ways we can improve every day in every aspect of missionary work:  Working in unity with members to making our contact approaches more and more fun.  We came up with a companionship motto to remember as we're contacting: "do it for the story..." which means that if we're really having a hard time feeling motivated to talk to someone, we just think about the stories we could have teaching them.  It's been fun to see our progress throughout just three short weeks.  As missionaries, we've gotten better in so many ways by constantly asking ourselves what we can improve on.
