Week 86

HEY GUYS so you´ll never guess where I got transfered to... I didn´t get transfered! Woo! I´m staying in Magdalena for 6 more weeks! I´ve been here since august! haha. But I´m actually really excited to stay here and be able to teach all the amazing people we´ve been teaching. There were a lot of changes in the zone, a lot of new missionaries, and things are looking better than they have before. I´m really happy. Elder Bates and I have been having some pretty fruitful companionship studies this week and we can tell that the lessons that we are teaching are more spiritual and our investigators are more engaged because we are teaching according to their needs. This week we had a leadership meeting for the mission and we talked alot about how to improve the companionship studies in the mission and relying more on the spirit. So we´ve been applying what we´ve talked about in these last few days to be able to train the zone about it on wednesday. We´re really excited about it.

We taught Hernan again this week, and he got to know the Bishop. He´s progressing really well and he´s understanding everything. We still haven´t been able to figure out what would possibly prevent him from progressing, which worries us because everyone always has some sort of challenge that comes out during the lessons that if left unresolved, prevents them from getting baptized. But he is completing with his committments and he´s really enjoying the church. We can tell that he trusts us more now than before, just by the way he talks to us.

 

We taught Jordy again this week and he also is understanding very well, but still not willing to dispose of a lot of time to continue progressing. His questions are excellent and he´s feeling something, so we´re confident that with time he´s going to start feeling the need to pursue the truth with more effort. 

So yea those were the highlights of the weeks. We spent a lot of time running around the zone interviewing people, giving keys to people that lost their keys, and helping people move. I´m glad that I have the opportunity to serve here in magdalena for a little more time, because every day I have the opportunity to minister and administer to the missionaries in my zone one by one.

I hope you guys have a great week!
