6 Weeks Already?

Hey Everyone,

This week is my last week in Mexico City! I leave the training center on Monday at 6 am and I am scheduled to land in Paraguay at 11 pm so it will definitely be a long day. this week has been really weird as we have been getting everything ready. We have had to re-weigh our bags and now I pretty much have to live out of my suitcase for the last couple of days. It really makes me anxious to get out of here seeing my empty closet.

Other than the craziness of getting everything together, I have had a lot of spiritual experiences this week. I want to share one with you guys: We watched this video that included some clips from talks from Jeffery R. Holland and Henry B. Eyering. The part that struck me was elder Holland said, "If our message is true, and if the spirit can work so strongly in people, why isn't the only worry missionaries have is getting pneumonia from being in the font all day?" It is because the price of our salvation was not cheap and the way for us to receive eternal life was not easy. We cannot expect our lives to be easy and we cannot expect to get back to our Heavenly father without challenges of our own. We all have a responsibility to do all we can.

I am so excited to be a missionary and to serve the people of Paraguay. I know I will have incredible experiences that I cannot even imagine right now. I know this is what I am supposed to be doing right now and I know it is the best place for me. I love you all!

Love,
Elder Seibert

Sorry no pictures this week the cord for my camera is packed away somewhere, but I will definitely have some good pictures coming soon.

Hey Everyone, I hope you all had a good week. Down here in Paraguay things are going well. I am loving my new area and, and my companion Elder Castro has a ton of energy, so we are gonna kill it. It has been beyond HOT this past week, like almost 110 with humidity. But we are still out everyday trying to teach people about Jesus Christ. Maybe this will sound obvious to all of you, but I have been thinking about how important it is to share this message we have with everyone we know. The gospel of Jesus Christ and all that he did for us is so important. I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have about Jesus, about his plan for me and how I can be like him. As I try harder and harder each day to be like my Savior I can see that it is not easy. He never had it easy as long as he lived and as long as I am trying to be like him it will never get easier. I am so happy to be here in Paraguay and serving the people who live here. Love, Elder Seibert Pics: me saying goodby...
