There MUST be opposition in all things!
Hola! ¿como están todos? [Hello. How are you all?]
Estaba reflexionado mucho este semana en las Palabras del Presidente Monson, y buscando gozo en el trayecto y como a veces tenemos el habito de pensar todo va a ser mejor y mas fácil en un tiempo futuro, y no vamos a tener problemas y desafíos como tenemos ahora. El nos dijo que, estas pensamientos son mintieras y este tiempo es una ilusión nuca va a venir y debemos seguir adelante con dificultades, si no nuca vamos a ser felices. Estés es verdad y recuerdo pensando “todo va a ser bien cuando estoy en la misión” ja ja ja y ahora entiendo mejor que la vida y la misión nunca van a ser bien o fácil, y que necesito hacer lo que necesito hace ahora y disfrútalo porque así es la vida y así progresamos. Es difícil en verdad, pero es posible si confiamos en el Señor, El nunca dijo que “va a ser fácil” pero “va a ser posible” y va a ser para nuestro beneficio. Yo se que este es verdadero y en las palabras de un Apóstol “venga que lo venga, y disfrútelo”. [This week I have been thinking a lot about the words of President Monson, and finding joy in the journey, and sometimes we have the habit of thinking that everything will be better and easier at a future time and that we will not have problems and challenges like we do now. He told us that these thoughts are lies and that (this future imagined) time is an illusion and that it is never going to come, and we must move forward with difficulties. If not we will never be happy. This is true and I remember thinking, "everything will be fine when I am on the mission." ha ha ha And now I understand better that life and the mission will never be good or easy, and I need to do what I need to now and enjoy it, because thus is life and thus we progress. It is difficult and true, but it is possible if we trust in the Lord. He never said that "it would be easy" but rather, "it would be possible" and it will be for our benefit. I know that this is true, and in the words of an Apostle, "Come what may and love it."]
Adversity is always present in life and its always necessary. Two examples I’ve been reflecting on and trying to work out in my head the past few days are these… One is the kite. Wind is what causes the kite to have lift. The string, however is what keeps it down, with out the opposing force of the string the kite will fall (or can not fly in the first place). The same can be stated if there is not wind. The string can represent difficulties and adversities; the wind represents faith (including actions, hope, etc.) Our faith can never be put to the test, or will become dormant (cutting the string) without opposition. And if there is not wind (or faith) to give us lift, our trials will only bind us down. However, if we have faith sufficient, its lift will overcome the drag of our oppositions and we will rise (or progress). The more oppositions we have and are overcome by sufficient faith, the higher we fly (like letting out all the string in a strong wind).
I’m still working on it… and forgive me, Spencer, if I don’t use the most correct terms. 
I don’t have time to get to the other, sorry… However, I hope that we can all remember that the difficult time will always come, but we must be determined to blow strong, and remember it is all for our benefit. Look for what there is to be gained from every experience, especially the hard ones! I love you all so much and this is my prayer for you!
