So the big news this week is about transfers! I am going
to... stay!! Haha! Gotcha!
I will spend yet another transfer here in South
Baton Rouge. Which I really am quite ok with. Our work is going well,
and we have at least 2 or 3 people who I know will be baptized very soon
if we are diligent with them. My companion, Elder Cornejo, however, will be
going. We dont know where yet, and I dont know who my new companion will be, but
we'll find out tomorrow. I think I've mentioned, we do transfers a little
differently now, instead of president telling you everything on the phone, he
just tells us going or staying, then we all come to the stake center on
Wednesday morning, and find out who our new companions are, and receive some
instruction from president.
This last week was pretty normal, we taught some
great lessons and had some people at church who had never come before! We had
another couple named Omar and Reina, Omar is the brother of Briseyda, who just
got married and baptized a few weeks ago. They came for the first time,
and liked it alot. They had good input in the classes, and liked sacrament
meeting. We had a recent convert give a talk, and it was really
funny. He's a really funny guy, and always gives really funny commentaries
on things. He talked about obedience. He has a strong catholic
background (i dont think its totally sunk in with him that hes
not catholic anymore) so when he talked about Christ he said "Christ
was always obedient to the Virgin Mary. Oh yeah, to heavenly father as
well. Except one time he wasnt..." and talked about the time when his
parents found him at the temple. So a little false doctrine. He also gave
the example of Jonas, how he was disobedient and was punished for it. He
said something like "He was inside a big fish for 3 days, fasting and
praying... Well I guess he had to fast..." Overall, it was a good
talk, but he had most of the congregation (and himself) laughing.
So I guess next week it will be some updates on the
new companion, and I'll get some pictures in too!
Hope to hear from you soon!
