This week was a good one. It was the last of the transfer, so things were kind of crazy. It was even more crazy because we traveled to Salta for a leader conference and then the day that we got back from Salta we did divisions with the assistants. It was good to be with them they are really cool. I went with Elder Trollip. He was here in my area before as a zone leader for 6 months so he showed me around the place. It was interesting to see how he worked in a part of the area completely different of that which we work in. We normally make the trek everyday passing through the more wealthy neighborhoods to get to the neighborhoods that are a little bit more humble because it is a lot easier to talk to the people there. They challenged us to work closer to the church in the neighborhoods that are more wealthy so it is going to be interesting to see how that works out!
We had a bunch of people that I have been teaching since I got here fall out on us. They all got lost just because they missed 3 weeks of church! It's sad but it just goes to show just how important it is to go to church every single week! We try to explain to people that as we miss church we have to pass through the next week with the transgressions of the week before just sitting on our shoulders which forces the Holy Ghost to space himself from us. Without his guide it becomes harder and harder to make the right decisions until he is so far from us that we can't hear him and we get completely lost! It's scary but true!
In the leader conference we talked about some pretty interesting stuff! We talked a lot about the goal of baptisms for the New Year! The goal was set for 2015 baptisms in the year of 2015!!! It was an ingenious idea from yours truly!!!!!! I felt soooo cool! haha. When I suggested it everyone laughed but I was so serious! They have no idea! In 2014 the mission baptized 1635 children of God which is basically the same as what we baptized in 2013. It would be an accomplishment to reach 2015!!! We will see how it goes. :)
I love you guys so much! I hope all is well in beautiful Las Vegas!
Con mucho amor,
Elder Spencer McKee
That is me and Elder Ellertson in the bus on the way back to Tucumán after leader conference and then that's me with Juanita the apartment complex whale. And then last is of the most ferocious gang of critters in barrio Nicolas! A duck and two dogs!
