Alrighty so on wednesday we had transfers and I got
moved...to the biggest city in our mission. Yeah kinda a big change. The city I
am in right now is called Corrientes and the area I am in has had about 5
baptisms in 6 or 7 years. Our area is right in the heart of college town and
has a ton of students and apartments for students. At night we go to sleep to
blasting music and people practicing guitars and singing. haha Its
just sooo crazy how different everything is here just three hours from where I
was. And I got a new companion named Elder Bingham from Brigham City Utah
straight out of highschool. He is pretty freaking awesome. Super Excited,
alsways in a good mood and really funny. This is probably one of the hardest
areas in the entire mission but I feel that Elder Bingham and I are going to
have success. We have tracted a lot and every single person here is catholic
and won`t even let us talk to them for 2 minutes. Very challenging. I have
already gotten frustrated a few times but I know that there are prepared people
out there waiting for us. Our branch is really small, we have about 20 active
members every week but I still feel the same confort and peace in church that I
have always felt on my mission. basically all that has happened since I got
transfered on wednesday is we have been lost...a lot. AND...on sunday we had a
BAPTISM!!! haha yeah his name is Cristian and he is an 18 year old student who
I didnt meet until the morning of the baptism on sunday because he coulnt do it
on saturday. My companion and the Elder who was here before me had been
teaching him for a while and he is a really great guy. It was so exciting to
see how happy he was after his baptism and after church he met with the Branch
President and they told us he is going to prepare to go on a mission in a
year.
Different city, different culture, different weather,
different economy, different companion....but really its all still the same.
Same teachings, same happiness, same joy, same feelings of love from our Father
in Heaven, same purpose and outcome in the work of the Lord. I am so happy to
be a representative of Jesus Christ and I know that there are hard days but the
Lord is always there to pick us up and brush us off. He has done it for me a
ton of times in just 5 days. My companion and I are going to be obedient, work
our tales off, and listen to the inspiracion from the Lord and by doing all
that we can to be better servants of the Lord every day. And if we do that, we
don`t have to worry and be stressed about how many lessions we get in a day or
what the outcome is everyweek we can have confidence that the Lord will take
care of the rest. Well that`s all I got for this week. I hope you all have a
wonderful week!!!!!! Nos Vemos chow chow
