This week was a hectic one.. We had a wedding, the Jansen's are heading out today :( and we also had a baptism!!! It was such a wonderful experience. Zr. S has made so much progress. She has changed so much. And it has truly been a miracle being apart of the process. This gospel is true. I see its truthfulness every single day of my life. But this week i learned the importance of having a forgiving heart. It is one of the most difficult things to obtain, but the most divine. There has been a small conflict in our branch this week. Over something so small, something so insignificant and it was pulling two families apart. One of them did not even know that the conflict existed. There was just a anger. The feeling of unity was gone. I don't know why something so small had such a large impact on my week personally! And as i have been reading in The Miracle of Forgiveness i have come to understand the divinity of being forgiving. It is the only way that we can be forgiven. It is the only way to receive exaltation and it is the only way that we can give our Savior, Jesus Christ, the chance to experience true joy. When He has the opportunity to forgive us. I know that it is difficult and there are still some things in my life that i am trying to let go but i am working on it each and everyday. We can truly decide to be hurt or not. We can decide how we react. I am working on choosing to be forgiving. This week was wonderful... But too fast... Sept is already here. I cannot believe it. My time is flying. A new transfer starts in 2 1/2 weeks, and i swear it was just yesterday we started this one. But i am loving today, And i am excited for the new missionaries to come to this wonderful country.
Love,
Elder Garcia
