Buenas Tardes!!!!n!!!!
This week is transfers... and there are a lot of
transfers. It looks like I am going to be in Milagro for quite some time
because Elder Bedregal today got transferred to Porvenir with a friend from my
group, Elder Peterson, and today at 6 we are going to go pick up my companion
Elder Nuñez. He is from Argentina and has just one transfer remaining in his
mission. For the past 7.5 months (since I arrived in the mission) he has been
the President´s assistant and now for his final transfer he will be with me
here in El Milagro. It is going to be awesome. About the other missionaries
here in El Milagro, Elder Maddock´s companion, Elder Zavalaga, finished his
mission and he is now going to be training a brand new companion that we will
meet tomorrow. Lots of changes throughout the mission and here in Milagro
but I am super excited to get to work with Elder Nuñez.
This week was our ward conference and so we had a
lot of special activities this week including a talent show where missionaries
of Milagro put on a little skit about the life of a missionary. It was pretty
hilarious stuff.
Sadly we were not able to have our baptism this
week, because of some complications with Brando maybe moving to live with his
mom but we did get to go to the Temple. As a ward, and with the other
missionaries we attended the temple because some of our recent converts were
attending the temple for the first time, so we too got to come along in the
bus. It was awesome to visit the temple and show Franklin around for his first
time and share that spiritual experience with him.
This week we have been teaching a young lady named
Alejandra who just accepted a baptismal invitation. We found Alejandra about 3
weeks ago when she attended church to make sure her grandma was safe. We
introduced ourselves to her and chatted for a little, then she asked ´´sooooooo
what is the purpose of this church´´. It seemed like a strange question at
first but the more we thought about it the more we realized it was a valid
question. Well while we thought of an answer during the week we realized the
purpose of church is to prepare us and help us follow Jesus Christ so that one
day when we are in front of our Heavenly Father we can be proud of the way we
lived our lives. Going to church helps us not only learn about our Savior and
remember why he is important but it also helps us to change our habits and
change ourselves to follow his example. It is pretty awesome stuff.
Well this was another great week here in El
Milagro and this will be a great new week with my new companero who we are
going to pick up tonight.
Best Wishes!
Elder Jack Vassau
