Boom, I
don't have to be a trainer! Nope, my companion has 11 months in the mission.
His name is Élder Toledo. He is from Cancun and he is pretty much the coolest.
He is the new district leader and so in his responsibilities he is super
straightforward, and in lessons too. But when it is just me and him in the
streets or in our house he is super chill. And we are already working super
hard. We put 4 new baptismal dates this week. The family C. are super excited
and they are really awesome!
So with a
new companion there are obviously things that change. Elder H. was awesome and I loved my time with
him. He had only been in the mission field 3 months before he was my senior
companion. Having a companion with more experience is so great! So like I
said, we are working really hard. We have two people really close to baptism,
one family who we just started teaching and another couple who are expecting a
baby soon and are really interested about the importance of family. Things are
looking pretty good. It is just too bad that transfers are only 6 weeks and
people have to attend church 5 times to be baptized. I am really excited for
the future in this area.
So the
family C. had run-ins with missionaries before but never actually took lessons.
I think that they lived near them and just saw the way they lived and the way
they acted and it left an impression on them. I really think that those
missionaries planted seeds that they didn't even know. And now they are ready
to accept the gospel!
Gabe made it
out to the mission field on Tuesday. He is in my Zone!! His trainer is the
other Elder Morris. Thanks for sending the stuff!!! That sweater is way warm
and way sweet!! Big thanks go out to Gabe for bringing me stuff from home.
Awesome!
Well things
are really different, but things are GREAT TOO! I am expecting good stuff to
happen in this transfer!! I love you all! Have a fantastic week!!
Gabe and me on transfer day. Love having someone from home here!
