Hey mom and family,
So thanks for your letter I really
enjoyed it.
That is so amazing that grandpa turned 98! I cant believe
it. I'm gonna right a special part for him so that you can read it to him.
Haha I love Jake, I'm so excited to see that kid, hope
he's not being to much of a bum about school.
Anyways this last week has been insane, sooo much has
changed and I can't wait to tell you all about it. So first off, I left my last
sector... it was tough because I loved all of the members there and God had
blessed us a ton in finding amazing people ready to hear the gospel. They
called me Monday night and told me I was leaving but with the surprise that I
was going to train a new missionary for my last transfer!! So Tuesday I went
through the temple again! So blessed!
Then we had a training meeting and we got to meet all of
our new companions. My (kid) is named Elder Coello he is from Peru and he is
twenty years old. And they sent us to a sector called Batallon, so we are
completely new here we are both figuring out the streets and the members
together, although I did know a little of the area because I served as a zone
leader in La Isla Trinitaria so I was a little bit familiar.
But it has been crazy, and funny because he asked me the
first day as we left the house where we were going to go and I said, I don't
know. And his face was so confused, he asked how can we leave the hosue and not
know where to go, and I responded saying I don't know but God will help us
somehow :) and he has, he has blessed us so much in this last week.
We have found two amazing people one is named N. who
is a little girl who has going to church for the last few months and literally
asked if she could be baptized, we talked to her parents and they accepted and
she will be baptized this next Saturday! It was just a straight up miracle!!
The other investigator is named I. and she is 38 and her
nephew is a member she accepted a baptisimal invite and came to church yesterday
only after knowing her since Saturday.
For real I feel so blessed right now. It's so amazing all of these little blessings that God gives daily. And it doesn't stop there...
Sorry if this seems like I'm bragging... hope not, I'm
trying hard to stay humble.
Anyways They called me on Saturday and told me that I had
to be back in my old sector at 3 to baptize one of my investigators, because
he asked if I could baptize him. So I got to go back to my old sector and
baptized him his name is A. , and wow he was so excited, and his whole
family went to the service, it was super spiritual.
Lastly I was just realize with my new companion how hard
it is to start the mission, how many things are different from our normal
lives, and how I had to change a lot. I am so grateful and amazed for the
changes God has made for me and who I am now. It's unbelievable. From waking up at 6:30 not 1 pm, to walking all day long and
to trully loving the gospel. My companion is doing well, but he has a lot of
changes he is making. Please pray for him a lot and pray for me to be a good
trainer, I really want to help him a lot.
Now this is for grandpa!
Grandpa, congratulations on turning 98! That's amazing, I
am so glad that you are strong asnd healthy and from what mom said you have a
great appetite. Honestly I cant wait to see you and tell you all about my
mission. I have learned so much here. And I am so thankful to God for giving me
this opportunity to be here. I love your ties... I use them a lot! Thanks for
always being a good example to me and showing your love to us. You have a giant
heart, and I think that everyone feels your love. Hope you're doing well, I'll
always keep you in my prayers.
