Well here we are again and I feel like this week was very similar to the last in the fact that WAY too much happened and I absolutley loved it all! The saddest part of the week was when 2 of our investigators had to move their baptismal dates, but we will work to get them baptized in Noviebre, and actually, we will be working with their families now that they are receiving us as well and we hope to have daddy daughter baptism!
This last week we also had a bunch of visits to less active families and it was just AMAZING!!! We saw many of them really wanting to come back to the church, but struggling with select few things. But after much persistence, we were able to see 4 of them in the church this last sunday! So we were ALL kinds of excited!
We also learned this last week that being a district leader is going to be a whole new game. Isntead of our usual zone meetings, we will be having district meetings every week. That means that I am now in charge of an hour to an hour and a half long meeting every week! Woo hoo! More responsibility! haha I didnt even know how to do it very well back when it was just for 20 minutes! haha But hey, its a learning experience right? I am excited though! Also this last week Presidente Kahnlein came to all the pensions and interviewed the missionaries in thier homes. We had a great interview and I love my relation that I have with my Mission President! He is truly an inspired servant of God! And the assistents also came with , which by the way Elder Young, my old companion and old secretary, he is now the Assistent! I was WAY excited to see him and Elder Arredondo when they came! It was like our old pension all over again! haha
On a closing thought, friday we had a little "book of mormon theatre" and there wasnt exactly the best turn out. Lets just say there was more people participating, than there was there to watch. but we did it anyways and the spirit was super strong there! We, (Elder Cannell and I) had our own parts and I was Alma, son of Alma, and Elder Cannell was Mormon. It turned out really well. Then on sunday we had a testimony meeting that was SO GREAT!!! The spirit was so strong and although a lot of people were really feeling the need to step up their efforts and help out more, it was great to see the many desires in the branch to do better! Then the rest of the day was just filled with lessons with the spirit just testifying everywhere! I LOVE THOSE DAYS!!!!! We visited a lady who was a reference and she just received us in and listened and had great questions and we will be hopefully preparing her to be baptized in the middle of november, (o por allí) But it was a day just SO AWESOME!!!
Now for the slightly more sad report. All of my beloved ones, if you desire to write me, please do so by hand. Unless you are LITERALLY family, then email is open to you. Thanks for your understanding, direct orders from the boss. =D
Les amo tanto!!!
