well i got transfered! right now im in Viña del Mar, nueva aurora. all i can say is holy hills! haha its pretty incredible! i have a pretty sweet view of all of Viña and also all of Valpariso! our ward alone is bigger than all of Los Vilos and so we have a lot more people to work with and alot more members!
it was pretty hard to say goodbye to the familia sanchez this last week. but we gave them the papers for the goal to go to the temple when the son turns 12. haha i almost cried but i kept myself together. and elder villatoro finished his mission also so we had to say goodbye to him also and that sucked. haha i just want to like a maniac until i leave so i can help everyone i can.
yesterday we had 2 baptisms. 1 was for the ward and the other was ours. i got to baptized the little guy, his name is sebastian ( he was the wards baptism) and my new companion Elder Campzanos baptized the other! so that was pretty sweet!
and we have one other that is ready for baptism and another that we commited to baptism the first day that i was in the area. but after that we dont have to many people to teach. well to say the least i think i am seeing the Lords hand helping me use the methods from that book. i try to use it whenever i can. my comp is district leader and our first meeting that we had, he had me introduce the contacting method because the district is having a hard time finding new investigators. in 3 days the Hermanas found 7 new investigators and everyone else is having success also. and he has yet to see the refference method haha. its different not having my trainer. haha ill just say that. thank you for my work ethic mom. haha.
oh so my zone leader is from layton, Elder Marriot, turns out he is friends with max and kelly and his dad works with gary! haha what a small freaking world!!!
haha also our bathroom broke and so that was pretty sweet.
i hope things liven up a little! if you want something to do here and there, if you could find activites to do for family home evening that would be sweet!? and also how is greg and his family?
true and faithful! i like it! we have the challenge to read the book of mormon 4 times this year and its sweet! im realizing how awesome the gospel is! its kinda sweet! we have tons of examples in the scriptures for the situations that we are in! like nephi he was true and faithful to the end! and truely wanted the best for everyone through the gospel! true and faithful. haha i wont kill my companion hopefully haha!
love you mom! thank you for your examples and everything you have done for me. haha its helps to here from you! love you!
elder campozano is from ecuador, the capital. and yeah everyone that i have talked to here in the ward has complimented me on my spanish. alot of them think that i have been in the mission for a lot longer that 4 months so that is really cool and satisfying to hear. thank you for making me take those spanish classes in jr high and high school! haha it has helped a ton whether i knew it or not!
thank you! I hope we can use the book for everything its worth during my mission! haha mom i only have 5 weeks left before i hit 6 months! its crazy!
nope! this next week im going to buy a coat and some sweaters for the winter as its starting to get cold and night! and its gets cold faster in Viña and valpo so its will probably be starting soon.
