Hello Fam! I had an experience yesterday that showed me how much i have grown. We went to take an eternal investigator his tools back to him. Anziano Hidalgo didnt give me thorough directions and i got lost. I called Guido for help and i told him what i saw around me... or atleast what i thought they were called in italian. He has no patience and got upset handing the phone to his son. We then communicated, his son and I, and his son came to pick us up. We went to their house and Gino was so mad at me. He yelled, swore up a storm and told me how stupid and dumb i was. Surprisingly, i wasnt offended and i wasnt upset. I was at peace. Elder Garofalo was really upset about it because he yelled at me for about 20 minutes and wouldnt stop but i could only think of the love that Heavenly Father has for him. I thought of what good it does for me to be upset or offended even if it was totally wrong. It wasnt me... it was a great gift that i received from Heavenly Father. I love this Spirit. I am working hard to always, always, always have it with me and have it strong with me. Love casts out all fear and is the most powerful force we have. Use it! Realize the Love the savior has for you and then give it to the others that need it very much. When love is there nothing can overcome it. Have a great week. I will inform you how transfer calls go next time.Love, Elder Beau Brewster
