FINAL LETTER


.... .... .... beep beep beep... .... ... .... beep beep beep ... ... ... My eyes open.  I look at the phone ...  6:30 already and turn of the alarm, on my knees and start my morning prayer.  End my morning prayer., look up, and get a "good morning" from my companion.  I just nod and grumble and try to become more awake.  I´m not much of a morning person.  I do some excercises, iron my shirt, and take a shower...  The waters cold.  If I have time to eat, I eat.  8:00 I study, 9:00 I tell my companion what I studied, 10:00 we study the language together.  10:45 we say a prayer together and bear our testimonies and state our purpose as missionaries.  We leave the house and go to our first appointment of the day.
The suns hot, i´m already sweating within the first 2 minutes of walking on the street.  We get to our appointment.  He´s not home,  good thing we marked a plan B!!  Not home either!  Start doing contacts in the street.  12 o´clock already.  We arrive at the members house where we are greeted warmly.  Eat with the family and leave a message about missionary work.  I can´t help but notice the sun beaming into the house.  "How is it that the sun is this hot" I think to myself.  I´m already sweating and i´m inside the house... 
Back to the streets, we pass the day teaching and inviting others to come unto the savior.  I learn a thing or two about who I am and what I can become.  I think to myself how I can help and bless another.  I cry during teaching sometimes because the spirit is so strong.  I feel the spirit speaking through me confirming all of my words to be true.
The day is coming to a close, i´m in the street still....  8:55, me and my companion are talking about our investigators and what we can do to help them as we walk home.
9:00 our knees hit the floor, tired and thankful for one more day that has been given to us.  We plan, and I take a shower, my body and soul are asking for rest.  I get ready for bed and one more time my knees hit the floor.... I close my eyes put the sheets over me and think... 
I love my life.
