Hola!
I hope you all had an amazing week! This week was incredible simply because the weather was wonderful. One day I didn´t have to wear my coat. It was amazing. I am pretty sure it is the calm before the storm though. We are supposed to be getting snow this week, so we will see how that goes. We started the new transfer, and my comp hit the ground running. We were able to get a lot of new investigators, and had a lot of success with the current ones that we have. We have two baptisms planned for this Saturday and I am so excited. It is absolutely amazing to see the change that happens when someone realizes that this is the true church of Jesus Christ. I feel so truly blessed to be out here serving my Father. As much as I am suppose to be blessing the lives of those I am helping to teach, I feel lots of the time that I am getting the bigger pay off.
This week I met President Avila (new mission President) I was so nervous.... and for absolutely nothing. He is wonderful. During a zone conference he and his family (wife, two daughters, and a son) shared their testimonies. With the change of mission presidents I have gained a stronger testimony of the Lords hand in the all things. While none of us always like change we need to understand that there is time and season for everything. When the Lord decides to call someone to a calling whether it be Mission President, Bishop, or Primary teacher, it is because he knows that you can do it, and that you are meant to help the lives of others in this area.
I also found out this week that the Bishop of Trapiche (my old ward) died in the street from a heart attack. I couldn´t believe this. He was so young and has three very young sons. I have been praying for his family all week, and ask that you do the same. Thank you all for you love and support. I love you all and hope that all is going well for you. I will talk to you next week.
