Hey Family,
The computer was abnormally slow today so I don't have very much time, but I wanted to say Hi and I love you. Thank you so much for your prayers, I've felt uplifted, encouraged and inspired over the last week especially, and I think a lot of it has to do with your prayers.
We haven't been seeing very mush success here in Rivadavia, it's been three weeks since we've had an investigator in church, and we've only taught 5 lessons last week, but I've felt peaceful as if everything will be okay, if we can just weather this storm, Elder Ortiz and I will find success.
The Mission is teaching me so much about faith. hope and patience. When you don't have numbers, you don't have investigators, you don't have baptisms, or even the hint of baptisms, all you have to hold on to is hope, we have to be patient and weather the storm with faith, and when you do, the blessings of the Lord are made manifest in our lives, and we gain more hope to face even greater challenges with greater faith and patience, until we have a "perfect brightness of hope", where we know that whatever challenge we are given, we can overcome it, that no matter how dark the tunnel is now, there is a light on the other side.
So that is what I've been learning, how to trust God, even in the mist of a baptismal wilderness. How to be happy, regardless of circumstances.
I love you all, you're in my prayers!
Sincerely,
Elder Reynolds
