HEY THERE!!!
First and Foremost I'd like to start off by telling you that I'm training! I love the training experience so much! Throughout my entire mission the changes I have enjoyed the most have always been the ones that I have been training. It might have something to do with the extra strong mission spirit all new missionaries bring or the fact that I'm a lot more strict in my studies but whatever it is, I LOVE TRAINING. This is my 5th time training and my new kid is named Elder Fonseca. He is from here, Honduras, and he is only here waiting on his U.S. Visa to go to the Provo MTC. He is called to serve in the Calgary Canada Mission and his reporting date to the MTC is November 1st so I think he and I will be on a plane sitting together in 5 weeks time.
Up to this point we have only been together for one week but it has been fantastic! It is awesome having a new companion who wants success as badly as I do and we are starting to actually achieve it. This week we spent a lot of time contacting old investigators and some of those old investigators include Daniela, Alejandra, and Victor. Yes, for a moment we had to drop them and give them some space but now we are once again teaching them and it's great to see them again! Not only are we visiting them but we are also visiting a family whom we had left behind months ago to allow them to fix some personal things before they were truly ready to change their lives. This last Friday we were with them, the Flores family, and we spoke to them all about coming to church and baptism. Four people accepted and we're now working with them so they can be baptized the 8th of October.
Like them,we are starting to work with other old investigators and we have seen blessings. I know that with this change we have a high potential to do great things. I am so very blessed to have this great opportunity this close to the end of my mission! It is allowing me to work and learn to love this labor once again before returning home. The highlight of my week was most definitely yesterday in church. Thanks to many things falling into place we were able to see 8 investigators in church as well as 3 inactive families. It was truly an amazing sight to see and I was so very proud to hear all of the positive comments from the members about how they can once again trust in the mission work. I hope to do great things in these last weeks I will be here and I hope and pray to be able to leave all of me here in the mission field.
Con Mucho Amor!
