Dear Home,
Transfers came and went this past
weekend and Elder Lane and I are
staying together. The only difference
now is that I got called to be
the new district leader. The Lord
does not want to give me a break
haha. The last district leader got
called to train so I think they
wanted to make it a bit easier on him
so here I am. It'll be
interesting to be a district leader
since I have always had to work with
them a lot, but never got to be one.
It's crazy to think I only have 5
transfers left now (about 7 and a
half months). But that's still a lot
of time haha.
This week was pretty good. I seem to
always end up really tired at the
end of each week. Nothing too crazy
happened. We still haven't been
able to get a hold of Francisco, and
on top of that he didn't go to
church, so we will be keeping an eye
out for him. Mateo is doing
really well, he wasn't able to go to
church last Sunday because he was
pretty far away and his car broke
down, but he still fasted on Fast
Sunday! He was able to make it to
church this past Sunday which was
good. We might need to move his date,
but either way he is still doing
well. Lately we've been focusing on
finding more elect people. Which
has been going well, but still have
some more work to do.
This morning we did our studies with
G.. G. is a 23 recent
convert who got baptized in April in
the area next to us (still in our
branch). He had to get permission
from the first presidency in order
to get baptized due to some things he
had done in the past. Now he
really wants to serve a mission, but
once again he has to wait for
first presidency permission. I didn't
know him before, but he has made
a lot of changes in his life to be
where he's at now. It was really
cool to do studies with him this
morning and see him take notes on all
the things he was learning. We even
did a role play with him and I
teaching elder Lane. I learned a lot
from being with him and seeing
his desires to be better. I hope to
continue that kind of desire and
willingness as I keep going through
my mission and service after.
Love
you all!
Elder Lane in the back |
