Re: Ward Conference is over! – 2/22/2010
Hola familia y amigos
Well this week was a great week. So daddy. You are trying to kill mi eh. Well i get home the 1st of july…….ahhhhh man i hate syaing that. Boooooo. hahahaha. but ya. so just do your thing. Hey can i go to pick up katelin or what??? that would be soo fun to meet all her converts and talk in spanish togoether. hahaha.
So this week are transfers and………. im staying another one………NOT. Im leaving. I totally thought that i was going to stay cause usually pres tell mi before but he didnt tell mi anything jsut about some of the other changes in the zone. But i got the word on saturday night and pres called mi last night and told mi and gave mi the down low on the zone and we talked about my missionaries that will be in my zone.
So im going to veracruz. Where the offices are and there are 2 zones there.i will have the north zone. And there are 24 missionarys in my zone.RIght now i have 14 missoinaries inmy zone. ahhhhh. un buen mas. But it will be alot cooler. But im sad to leave xalapa cause i have grown to love it but God has other plans for mi. And also one of bestest buddys in the mission and in the world….elder carter will have the south zone. And mi and him get really competitive with eachother….. so its going to be sweet. I let pres know that,that was pure revelation. hahahaha. its kinda downright now my new zone but it will be on fire starting tomorrow. holla.
So yesterday i gave my goodbye testimony in church and it was huge huge day in church. We had 165 people in church. It was one of the greatestblessings in my mission. I have had the blessingof watching this ward grow like crazy. When i got here there was not that greatof asistance, llike 100 or so. And now they are going to divide the ward. I can reallly see the Lord working in the ward. When i stood up to give my testimony and i said, well im going on tues, at that moment i saw a bunch of people start to cry and i was looking at them and seeing who they were and in that moment the spirit bore testimony to mi that us as missionaries are only tools and instruments in the Lords hand and that ONLY the Spirit can touch peoples hearts to convert them, the missionary just carrys the messege and is the mouith piece for the Lord. It was a great expiernce.
This past week we had the opportunity of baptizing 3 people. there names are refael and lilian and carlos. Its a family of 4. the mom is elda. They were all going to get baptized this weekend but the moms work schedule changed and she worked sunday so wej just baptized the kids and the mom will get baptized next weeek. She said, no just baptize my kids cause they are vary anxious and mi next weeek. So all is well. it is a great family and vary humble are they are so eager to learn and progress.
WEll i havent actually gotten the packeges buti think they are in the offices. hahaha. iwill let you all know next week better. and in that colony the dogs all say to mi….”whad up dawg” hahahaha. well i love you all and thank you all for the love and support.
Love you all long time
