Hey all!!
Wow, what
another crazy week it has been here! Well, the transfer call has come. I have
been released from being the district leader and I've been called to train a
new missionary once again! The fun part about this one is that it's actually
not going to be a missionary that will stay here. It's a visa waiter who was reassigned
to come here until he obtains his visa to go to his assigned area. So I’ve been
assigned to a companion who will co-train with me. I will be with Elder Vincent
and the visa waiter. I won’t be picking him up until tomorrow, but we are
really excited. I've changed areas as well. I’m still in the Santa Ana Ward. I
just switched to a different area in the ward. I will still be on bike as well.
We are very excited because the area is really starting to pick up. We are experiencing
the wave of missionaries. We are getting 33 new missionaries. So crazy! We are
excited to get to work. This area is going to be awesome and I’m really excited
to work here! Elder Castaneda will be staying in the area and will be training
a new missionary as well. We are going to have 10 missionaries assigned to our
ward. We are coming! We are going to see some great miracles these next six
weeks together! Lets work!
Okay, so
Marcos didn't get baptized. It was kind of a bummer, but we learned that we
needed to postpone his baptism to a later date. We are still teaching him and
he is doing very well. He came to church and liked it again. We are going to
continue to work with him until we can get him to baptism. I love the guy and I’m
going to miss him a lot.
We are also
seeing Mari. We were unable to see her and teach her this week. We had a great
experience when we went by one day and checked up on her to see how she was
doing. Elder Castaneda asked her if she had been reading and praying about the
Book of Mormon and she said she had been. We asked her if she thought it was
true. She said that she does believe that it is true. What a miracle. She has
never told us that before. She is progressing very well. We are still in
pursuit to getting her a new job and helping her out with getting to church. I
know that we will be able to get her to baptism. She is so close. I know she
will be baptized. Now we are working on a date.
We also
weren't able to visit the Alcantar family. The dad got a job, which now
occupies most of his time, and it's really difficult to find him. We came back
to their home last night and they told us that they are reading from the Book
of Mormon and praying. I'm going to miss them too and I hope that they will be
able to be baptized on the 5th of May.
That is
basically what is going on! I’m hearing about a lot of cool things going on
back home! Shout out to my brothers doing so well in their sports! Jalon too. I
hear he is doing very well which is so good! I love you guys so much! I can’t
wait to get to the new area and work! I love you all so much! Hear from you
soon!
