¿Que te tinca de tinga?

During dinner with Yamila's family, her mum shared some bizarre stories about being in nun school as a girl. President Treadway, the mission president, came with us to a couple houses. I helped translate for him since he doesn't speak Spanish but it was so cool to work with him. 
"God has designed this mortal experience to require nearly constant exertion... By work we sustain and enrich life... Work builds and refines character, creates beauty, and is the instrument of our service to one another and to God. A consecrated life is filled with work, sometimes repetitive, sometimes unappreciated but always work that improves, lifts, and aspires." D. Todd Christofferson

When the blessings for righteousness aren't immediate or apparent, the persecution or troubles that persist seem to be the only result. It's in God's wisdom that these are instead eternal blessings laid up to await you in heaven.

Love, Hermana Jerman
