Wow what a week. I am still as exhausted
as ever but we are still chugging along. Sometimes I have to joke around with
my companion that I am getting so old and tired that he has to buy me a walker
to scoot around in. Really my companion and I are doing great. We have formed a
great bond of work and understanding. It’s been a great change from what I have
seen in the mission before. I feel that right now we are working as a great
team and we are going to get tons of things done. We have already accomplished
a ton as far as getting the zone moving. I know that we are going to continue
seeing a change as we continue pushing and getting things done according to the
revelation and goals that we receive and set.
As far as other stuff that has been going on this week. We had interviews on
Tuesday. It was a super super crazy day. So we had district meeting from 10
thirty until noon. And then the interviews started at one and ended at eight.
The whole time we had to be there and trying to keep the missionaries busy and
focused. It’s crazy when you have 26 missionaries in your zone trying to keep
them all focused on things that are important. We were able to share with them
a few things and ideas that we have to help the zone get going. But I think in
the end it was a great thing that we had the interviews with president. A lot
of the missionaries came out and they were a lot more focused and felt better
and ready to work harder. I just love president. He just has this type of
attitude that is super super contagious. He can help pretty much anyone bring
the best out of themselves. Finally at the end it came to me. I wanted Elder
Hugie to go last but I am supposedly the Senior companion of the two so I had
to go last. I had a really good talk with President. It’s been great to form
this relationship with him. I feel that he really trusts my opinion and views
on missionaries and how the zone is doing. He talked with me about some of the
missionaries and what is going on with them so that we can help them have more
success and then I was able to ask him a few questions. I asked him what was
his purpose in sending me to zone 3. He told me that it looks like the Lord
trusts me to be able to handle the largest zone in the mission and to get it
baptizing again. It made me feel good to know that President, and the Lord
trusts me enough to send me out here. A few other things that we talked about
were that I am probably going to be ending my mission here in Nemby. President
said that he is probably going to leave me here so that I can finish hard and
finish strong without having to worry about going anywhere. It was a great talk
that really helped me build my confidence and raise my spirit. I really just
love this Argentinean man so much. He has so much love and fire in him.
So other things that have been going on in the zone is that we are starting to
get things rolling as far as baptisms. So far in the month of January every
district has been getting a baptism and until this point in January we are the
zone with the highest amount of baptisms. We have lots of people in our plans
to baptize the last few weeks of this month. We are going to keep getting the
missionaries excited to keep on baptizing through this month.
One other thing that has really touched me this last week is that I have really
been focusing on listening. I have decided that listening is one thing that I
need to better before I end up coming home. Elder Hugie is helping me learn to
listen more so that I can let the spirit guide me. Really Elder Hugie is a
great missionary. He is focused and he loves the people. I have really enjoyed
my time with him so far and hope that we can keep working together the next
change. Well that is all I got folks I hope you have a great week. The gospel
is true and I love preaching it.
