Family!!
Well, this change is already coming to a close as we head
into the last week. We worked hard, harder than I ever have in my whole
mission. It’s not easy to change a sector, nor to change the culture of mission
work in a ward, but we used every moment we had to do just that. I imagine that
I’ll be staying here and Elder Ortiz will be leaving, but we’ll see. I’d be
down for another change with Elder Ortiz, we work well together and we’re both
willing to do the little things in order to be successful.
The investigators overall are doing well and the number of
them grows with every week. Some of them will hopefully be getting baptized
soon and others continue to progress little by little.
The member missionary of the week award this week goes to
Fritznel or Fritz, the only Haitian member of the ward. He’s super cool, and
even though he uses the “vosotros” form instead of “ustedes” he’s trying really
hard to learn Spanish. Recently his cousin, Evans, and his friend, Alexis,
moved in with him and he really wants them to have the gospel in their lives
too, so we’re working with them. My time in Galvarino is saving me since they
don’t speak very well in Spanish, so I get to pull out my limited knowledge of French Creole. On Saturday night we had a Haitian style barbeque and it was
delicious.
I know the Lord is blessing us for our efforts, even if it
isn’t always the way we expect.
Have a great week!!
