So this week was pretty crazy with transfers and mothers day calls and such, but it was also a great week and lots of good things happened. This week we were focusing on our part members and our already progressing investigators, thank goodness were done with mapping so we dont have to do too much of that. We had a very good lesson with one of our part members, her name is Erica. Her sister is 18 and has a 1 year old kid and she is very very less active, but the lesson was awesome and her sister did a great job of sharing and helping Erica understand. She did not come to church but she told us she was sick so hopefully next week. Our other part member is Marc Stephen, he is 10 years old and he got surgery this week and so he was home all day everyday, we taught him twice and he came to church so hopefully he will be baptized on the 2nd or 9th of June. We have two others that are scheduled for the 9th of June and we received a lot of good referrals from our members this week. We tried a different way to get referrals this week and we tried it on a couple members, it worked great. We give a simple spiritual thought about Jesus Christ or about the gospel of Jesus Christ and then we tie it into how lucky we are to have the gospel, then we ask them what their life would be like without the gospel, we tell them to write down the answer. Then we ask them to write 10 names down of people who do not have the gospel yet in their lives. We received some good people from that who we will go contact and hopefully they have potential. It is simple but it works well.
yesterday was pretty crazy. We had our mothers day calls which by the way were the best! Only two left haha, I am thankful for my mom, she is the best mother in the whole world and is an amazing example to me, without my mom I would not be where I am today. After mothers day calls we had our transfer announcements, sadly, Elder Bromley is moving on to Fairview to be a District Leader, he is going to be living in my old house in Don Antonio so thats pretty cool. Elders Richards and Slade are staying in Deparo and I am staying as well. I am going to be the new District Leader in Deparo. I am pretty excited and also very intimidated but I know this will help me grow and be a better person, even after my mission. My new companion is Elder Mahinay, he is philippino but I have not met him at all yet so I dont know what he is like, I am sure he will be great. So the mission feels like it getting real now, I hope it gets better and better and that we can continue to see success in Deparo and in my district.
So yeah a pretty crazy week, the mission is so masaya! I love you all and hope you all have a great week!
