well
im back in the north baby!!! but this time on the other side of the bay
of my true love Coquimbo. im in La Serena as a ZL to finish my last two
changes with E. Giustozzi my studly argentinian comp! i really wanted
to train but basically President just told me there werent enough ZL to
replace those that left and he needed me to go back up to the North. its
chill im super happy to be up here and we have a sweet zone. its
beautiful here!
transfer week was crazy as usual and even crazier this time because we didnt sleep sunday through wednesday, had transfers wednesday night, got back to serena at 3 AM, gathered everything from the zone that needed to go to viña on thursday, and then that same night at 12 left to viña for mission council. after a full day in viña with pouring rain on friday
we got back on the bus at got home at like 2. Im exhausted. its been so
fun though. i love my comp hes super tight and hes gotta a little more
than a year so hes ready to work really hard!
weve
been taking the trash out these last 2 days. we did a million contacts,
found some really good future investigators, adn even though we havent
taught much and we dont have tons of investigators im having so much fun
just doing normal missionary work all day! seriosuly i missed it so
much. im grateful for the love i developed to just teach adn have
progressing investigators. our investigators felipe and alda came to
church for teh first time on sunday
and even though their 3 year old was running all over place being a
clown, and tugging on the bishops pants, they had a good experience.
felipe said hes gonna start coming every week! they´re a young couple,
only 23 years old but theyre way cool. were working with them for a
marriage and baptism date soon!
before leaving
viña i got to see Jacob and Romina and talk with them outside teh office
for about an hour. their sealing date is teh 9th of July,
and same with Maria Elena and Raul the parents of jacob!!! im so happy
for them its undescribable. theyre amazing and have such strong
testimonies its so cool! im just hoping taht i can still go to their
sealing.. President told me i could, but now that im so far north i
doubt ill be able to which is kind of a bummer.. but we´ll see.
Im
here, im healthy, and ready to just go all out in my last area. this
area is really cool. the members are awesome it kind of reminds of a
ward in the states cause its in the center of Serena. its really weird
going from a tiny branch to a big ward. but theyre kindof a sleeping
giant. everyone is really good but they sort of need to all go in the
right direction to start to see some baptisms here. its been awhile.
love you guys so much. keep me updated on Steph and the boys. Good stuff.
