This week was hard. I´ve never felt so stressed and so frustrated :P First off, I´ve had a horrible spirt of headaches these past couple weeks which has put me out of the missionary groove. I can´t think so straight and am tired all the time, but yet when I get home and night my mind is suddenly wide awake and I can´t sleep :P Yup. Livin the dream. It´s been tough on my comp too because in my current state all I want to do is have things quiet and by myself. Yeah, that doesn´t really work when you have someone by your side 24-7. But she is awesome and really patient with me.
Juan Carlos had his baptismal interview and we were all sooo excited! When the interview was over and he left, my district leader (Who did the interview) told us that there were some problems. Some things from his past where a little in contrary to the standards of the church and have to be discussed with the Mission President. My heart sunk. I couldn´t believe it. Juan Carlos is soooo ready for this!! He has such a glow about him and he has changed sooo much. My district leader later talked to President and he said that we had to wait two weeks and go over some stuff with Juan Carlos, then he will have an interview with President, and then we can set his new baptismal date. Ugh it´s so frustrating!! When we told Juan Carlos, we tried to be as positive as we could, but our efforts didn´t do much. He began to cry which broke my heart. But he, despite this set back, still wants to keep progressing. He wants to be baptized so bad. I´m so sad about the whole situation, but the Lord know what is best at this time, so we will move forward with faith.
We got our Liahonas this week with the conference talks. I had the chance to read two of my favorites by Elder Uchtdorf and Elder Godoy. They were both truly inspiring talks. They especially helped me in my struggles this week. I encourage everyone to re-read conferece. So powerful the second and even third or even fourth time. I love it!!
Love you all
Love, Hermana Perry
