We are going to have another baptism this week and I am
really excited. I am fine and really happy. I am starting to feel a little
tired. I love being a missionary and I love serving, but I feel like I have
been in this process of being a missionary or at least trying to be one an
eternity. I would be coming home this week if I hadn’t needed to return home. I
think my spirit is just worn a little thin - haha. I think more than anything I
am just becoming better and better each day, and the enemy doesn’t like it.
I feel his temptations so much more vividly than before, and
I am CONSTANTLY tired. Mentally, emotionally, physically, and sometimes even
spiritually. However, when I LOOK FOR IT, I am comforted and strengthened by
the Spirit. I love what C.S. Lewis has to say about time. The only periods of time
that matter are the present and eternity. The past is of little use to the devil
because it is frozen in time and he can’t change it. He can make us reflect and
regret but that is about it. He uses the future to mess with us, and cause us worry,
despair, fear, and even sometimes, false hope. If we are incapacitated or
affected by these fears, he is winning.
I love you so much.
Elder Rich
P.S. Also I think I come home in early February....really
