So last night, I was feeling SUPER sick and decided to sleep a little bit early so that my body could rest. No big deal, we had already planned and we were all just up talking. So I climbed into bed and was super happy with my bottle of hot water to keep me warm and snuggled with my 4 comforters. I was sound asleep until I heard shouting. I open my eyes and the other 3 sisters are on the other bed peering out the window. I was TOO tired to really understand. So in the morning when I woke up, they told me that someone had tried to break the door that enters into the 8 apartments where we live. The people shouting were the other tenants of the apartments telling the police that it wasn't just a drunk fight but people trying to enter to rob where we live. Anyways, that has been the excitement of the week pretty much. It hasn't been the most eventful week. We have been working with the same people. We have the baptism of Rocio this Saturday. Luisa and Davis the 25th and we are looking for one more this month to reach the goal we had made.
Something I have been studying a lot this week is that your real character shines in your reactions. It is something that I have been trying to fix. Let me tell you. I can be kind and polite, but when someone makes you mad, you are just well... mad. Or irritated or stressed or whatever the feeling may be. In those moments, your reactions are a lot harder to control and that makes my task a little harder. However, that is the magnificent part of the gospel. Jesus Christ said if men will come unto to me, I will show them their weaknesses. Well... my weaknesses are quite clear. But I will make weak things become strong. I know this church is true. For many reasons, but in particular this week because anyone and everyone can change. You can become strong. The key is to be humble and then to put your actions to work.
I love you all and thank you for your support and hope this week finds you well.
Love Always,
Hermana Carly Jo Lang
