Hey Mom and Dad,
This week has gotten better, I
have been able to really hit the pavement and give it my all. This week We had
an emergency change, Elder Pintado was sent to the office so he could recover
from the back problems that he was having. His replacement was Elder
Hinostroza. President was not to excited to be sending Elder Jones a new
trainer because he had only had a week but he determined that the best thing to
do was send me for a week help Elder Jones get his feet wet and then send Him
his new trainer. I was in Ciudad Nueva this week Training Elder Jones. Knowing
that it was an area that had been struggling for baptisms for some time now I
new that I had to start from the beginning. I talked to the bishop and arranged
for a meeting with him the ward secretary and the first counselor. I found out
that relations with the ward mission leader were not great so I arrange for a
meeting with him and told him that we just wanted to get to work and needed to
know where to start. We found ourselves having lessons with less actives
contacting looking for directions and we were moving a ton in the area. I got
to know a lot of the area and many of its members. It was amazing how at the
end of the week I did not want to go. The Bishop told me that he was going to
call president and tell him that I had to stay. It was a fantastic week and
during that week my companion organized the baptism for Sister Evelyn. She was
so happy to be baptized. She has come a long way and has truly repented for the
past and she is excited to make good choices in the future. She asked that I
baptize her and that Elder Behotas could confirm her. It was an amazing
experience and Elder Jones and I were able to take a few investigators to the
baptism and they want to be baptized in the fallowing weeks.
