Good morning my wonderful family it is a wonderful monday morning and I thought it would be fun to send the photos that we took when I was in the hospital. My companion Elder Fuentes is super funny. He was making me laugh so hard becuase he was acting as if the doctor and taking pictures of it. I hope you like them...hahaha!
All is going so wonderful. We have changes tommorow and Elder fuentes will be heading to another area up north in the colder part of nicaragua matagalpa and I will be still here in managua. I sure am going to miss my little salvadarian companion but I know that he will do a lot of good in the area to come.
Time has been flying by and I am truly exicted for this change to come. It sure is wierd to think that I will be finishing soon and I don´t ever want it to end. I wish that I could extend another year but I am truly exicted to see you guys and thats what makes me truly happy. what great joy that day will be. So the other day as I was studying the section of preach my gospel on christ like attributes I decied to take the exam to see in what parts of the attributes I need to work on and in what ways. It turned out that I need work in all areas...haha! but I feel that I truly have grown and am far from what I was when I began the mission. I am truly grateful for our savior he is the master who is working in our lives the changes and tune ups that we need to become a master piece.
A parable that I once heard that has always stuck with me is that each of us can be compared to a piece of metal. Being a piece of metal we are strong we are capable of forming into many things, examples door handles to open doors for people, car door to protect the passengers in the car, a gold ring to represent purity and loyalty a ones spouse. But to become what we want to be, we must first willing give ourselves to the master carftsman. From there hey looks at his plans of who you will become and what valuble service you will bring to others. Next he places you through a process of much fervent heat and testing to see if you will stand strong or will be to soft and brake. When the process is finsihed he begins to bend and mold each part and at times places you to reheat and form some more. At the end the master piece is astonding and the worth of every part esential. from the smallest nail to the metal of a airplane. every part is important and has been formed to perform its duty. I know that the lord has a plan for each of us, he gives us trials and opsticals to help us form to our part. The key to becoming and full filling your part is turning your voluntad to him.
In these last few months left I am truly humble and exicted to recieve my final mold to be ready to serve him in the future. We just received news of changes and I have been called to serve as a trainer in the area of ruben dario still as district leader. I have been praying for a oppurtunity to work my hardest these last few months and become better in everyway possible and well I guess I probably shouldn´t have asked for it...hahaha! because now I am training, and as a district leader still, but this is my chance to study hard work hard and play hard with my new companion.
My new companion will be coming tomomrow and today we have a meetting with presidente collado for all the new trainers and so I have to go but I am exited. These our the greatest times of my life and jacob and erick spencer and james there is nothing more thrilling more rewarding and more joyful then to serve the lord and be a valuable piece of metal for our closest friend and savior Jesucristo. I say these things humbly with much love in the name of jesus christ. Amen.
Sincerly your son, and brother and goofball
Elder Boyd
