Happy Valentines Day!

hey fam, happy valentines day!! hope everyone has some dates lined up for tonight!! haha i never thought that my valentine for 2011 would be a 23 year old argentine who is kinda chunky (i thought i had more class than that) haha to be completely honest i really have nothing to say. this week we did nothing. literally nothin. elder lopez couldnt work because of his health and we spent a good amount of the day sitting in the house. i studied a ton haha im going for my 4th read through the book of mormon i cant get enough of the scriptures, conference talks and all that i love it haha i love reading past general conference talks its an absolutely blast. there is a talk called safety for the soul by jeff r holland in the november 2009 conference if you have a chance to read it i highly highly reccomend it it is grade a incredible. i wet myself probably a good solid 4 times during the reading. but yeah things are goin kinda slow here elder lopez can hardly work, which equals really nothin to do. man sue i remember you saying i need to learn patience on my mission and just about every aspect of the day is about being patient in the missionary work. patient with your companion, investigators, other missionaries, yourself. in preach my gospel the definition is the capacity to go through hard trials while still having a firm faith in christ. and wow that is so true. there are days its just like what in the world am i doing here? i cant talk to people, everyone is shutting their doors in our faces, and man o man i am starting to get more and more patient i feel haha. so yeah that is just one aspect of things i have really been working on is patience. especially with elder lopez its hard having a companion that cant/doesnt want to work. i try and make the best i can out of a negative situation such as study the gospel, talk to him in spanish while he is just laying there, study spanish and things like that but many its really stretching my bounds haha. so yeah thats the report from elder barton this week. sittin in uruguay being patient. have a good week everyone. keep it gangster.
