Obedience is a hard road to take.

Elder Ben Cisternas sent me a letter once, saying "Obedience is such a hard road to take, but its the only road worth taking". I have seen evidence of that, even though in this very moment I am not having too much success here in my new area, I know that I am at least learning and becoming the person who I want to be (step by step). I am not wasting time by being here. I can tell you that one can feel the love of God, and one can feel that he is pleased with you if you do what he asks. Obedience is the road worth taking.
Things have started to become clear as I learn, such as every commandment, every rule we have to follow. God knows our needs... 3 NE 13:31-34. The goal is to search the kingdom of God first, and the rest shall be added unto you. I promise this to all of you. In the beggining of the mission I had no clue why I had to follow so many rules, but it becomes clear as we experience it for ourselves. The question "Why?" seems to fade away.
This week has been tough, but I am surviving. We are puting forth a lot of effort, we are on our knees praying all the time. I worry about the well being of the people I meet. They dont seem happy, but I know for those that accept us will come to know what true happyness is.
Take care everyone, have a good week. If my trainer is reading, Yes I did receive your letters, thank you Diego Berrocal for writing me.
Thanks for your support and love, Cuidense. I send my love from San Juan.
