Hola familia y amigos!!!
Transfers came and we will
be staying the same!! Elder Ramos and I will be going strong another
transfer here in Macuiltepetl and we are super pumped for this
opportunity. I also got made District Leader which will be a great
service opportunity to help the other missionaries here in Xalapa. The
work is going pretty strong here and we are looking forward to a ton of
success this transfer. Being here 3 transfers will also bring a handful
of difficulties but I look forward to getting over them and finding
miracles in our work.
This week was our Zone
Conference. We heard some pretty great talks from our Assistants and
Mission President and received some really good counsel from the leaders
of the mission. This was also the last Zone Conference of Elder Higgs
and Elder Souza, two really great missionaries here and also from the
other side of the ward, and we were able to do a little sendoff to them
and cut the classic tie. It was a great conference and gave us an energy
boost for the last week of this transfer.
This
Friday the ward also did a going away party for Elder Higgs and Elder
Souza. We were able to invite and bring a few friends of ours and they
had a great time meeting members and learning more about the church. At
that same time we also had our Soccer Activity and were able to talk
with a lot of our friends that come to play with us there too. Overall a
ton of people showed us and it was a great community activity for the
members of the ward and their neighbors.
And
lastly we had the awesome opportunity to have the baptism this week of
our friend Juan. We met Juan walking his dog in the street with his
family a little while back. My companion at the time loved dogs and
asked to pet it as we began to chat with them about the church. They
said they were interested, and a week later he began to come to church
with us. He has made huge changes in his life since coming to know the
gospel and is a great example to me of the love we need to have for the
scriptures. Every time we come over he wants to dive into a chapter of
the Book of Mormon and learn more about this gospel.
All in all that was the week! Pretty busy and pretty awesome, and we are excited for more stories to come this upcoming week!
Love and miss you all!
