1st Week - Coronado, Coronado Ward

Family ~

My new area is great! It is a ward with an assistance of about 65 people or so but the members are really great! Almost all of them are returned missionaries. But I am getting to know the area a little more! Lots of hills to climb up. My district there are only 1 gringo. He is new his name is Elder Draper. Very quite and doesn't understand anything of Spanish yet. The rest are Latins. My zone leaders are Elder Luna who was with me in San Miguel and Elder Espinoza who will finish right now. My companion is great. He is the only member of his family besides his little brother. He got baptized about 3 years ago and has 3 months in the mission. I will also need to train him more.

A very tiring hard week! Monday I didn't get into the house after changes until about 7 or so. We left and went to a Family Home Evening then came back. Tuesday we went to the few appointments but they ended up falling so we walked searching for a long time. Wednesday the same with the District meeting. Thursday we had an interview so we almost weren't able to work. Friday we had an activity in the ward so we had to help get it all ready then Saturday we worked normal.

It's been one hard week for missionary work. We weren't able to teach as much as I would like but I love this new ward! The members are great and I am excited to start working with them!

I have come to a conclusion that we will never rest from trials in our lives. When we overcome one another one even harder will come. But I am glad for every trial that I have experienced in my life and especially in my mission. Because through each one I have become a better person and have grown so much! In the mission I have thought that I just need to finish the two years and I won't have any more trials. But I have noticed that the trials just get harder and harder but through these trials we can perfect us in Christ.

I am grateful for this new opportunity to learn and grow and to show my love to my Heavenly Father by serving Him and His children. I hope all of you can find the Hope and Faith in Christ during the trial that you are facing in your life right now.

Love you all!
Elder Moss
