Hey all,
So I just realized that my halfway mark is in a little over a week. What a weird feeling...
This week was pretty good. I saw a lot of little miracles, things that helped me out a lot. I haven't really seen any big miracles lately, but then, most of the things we recieve from God aren't super big. The small things that come steadily over time are worth more to me anyway, since I have a few big ones tucked into the back of my memories. I talked to some really good people this week; I interacted with some not-so-nice people too. For example, last night we were handing out English advertisements to people on the street, and a guy came up, took one, rolled it up into a ball, and threw it at me without even slowing down. He just kept walking. Sometimes we have to take one for the team; in that instance my sacrifice was not chasing after the guy and offering him another flyer just to annoy him. :D I hope he feels a little bigger now that he's persecuted a missionary. But the week was good on the whole.
I'm at the place where you have to get off the computer and let someone else use it every ten minutes, so this won't be super long. Just know that you are all so great, and I have learned a lot about the worth of souls out here. I was kind of in my own little world back before I came out here; I didn't attach as much importance to family as I do now. Thank you for being such a great family to me, and I wish I could be there with all of you now. But I'm in the place I need to be at this time in my life, out here helping people to see the light. I'll keep doing my best out here, and I hope things go great back there. I love you all!
