So we had changes this week and well...I guess thats not completely correct. We called tuesday morning to ask about the changes because we needed to let the zone know if they were going south or not, and well at first we werent going to be told, but then later in the day the assistants called and let us know, and as I listened to the phone call, I realized that that hadnt said that Elder Holmes nor I was leaving. We completed another 6 weeks, however I did not Leave La Serena, nor did I change companion!!! jaja Elder Holmes and I stayed together again!!! jaja So for the first time in my mission I am going to have four and a half months with one elder! Woo hoo! What father could be more happy to stay with his hijito! ;)
So we werent able to get too many lessons in this week because the first 3 days we were working in our trio on the other side of our ward! But we were able to teach some. Sadly, sunday didnt turn out as we would hope either, we didnt have any investigators in church. Turns out Ricardo hurt his knee and couldnt make it either. darn.
So also, turns out I am staying as district leader and more than half my district is new! So our first meeting we did a little "getting to know you" and a few cool facts: Elder Wilson (my MTC comp) is now with Elder Lopez in Vicuña, and we got two more elderes in our zone, elder Stacey and Elder Mickelson. Elder Stacey also came with me. For our Hermanas, Hermana Smith is still in our district, training a 3rd time! and her new companion is from Washington! I later was informed however that Vicuña was not going to be in our district! NOOO!!! Kinda sad, I was STOKED for the interchanges I would have with Elder Wilson! but I will see him in the Zone meeting at least. jaja
We also have found some REALLY good future investigators! We hope that they will progress right along! And we have also found some new less active people, and we are hoping to help all of them to keep progressing.
Thats pretty much how the week went with us... oh but one quick spiritual experience. So we shared with this young less active girl. She said as a kid she always felt close to God, and now she doesnt. She really wants to feel that way again and so she started to read and pray her book of mormon and JUSTO, we arrived when she said she needed us most. It was a very spiritual moment. She said she knows what she has to do and just really wants more than anything to have the guidance again in her life. It was awesome!!! Then we went to a cita with a less active lady who told us the SAME thing. She said "I knew that you were going to come. I felt like it was going to happen. So that was pretty cool! I love feeling like we are really doing what we are suppossed to and when others testify to it, it really helps me to feel that I am doing what I am suppossed to.
I know that God leads us and impresses us to do His will, and I know that without it we could not complete with His grand plan. I hope that everyone can feel this week that they are really doing what God expects of them. I love you all!!
