This has been a interesting week. I'm not
sure that there's really a "normal" week in the mission, but there are
more different ones, like transfers week! Elder Wilde got transfered to
Puerto Maldonado, again! That's where he started his mission, and
probably where he'll finish. He's also Zone Leader now.
My
new companion is from Huánoco, it's here in Peru, north of Lima, I
think. He is fantastic! We work really well together and we're going to
get a lot done here in Sicuani. I'm a little sad to see Elder Wilde go,
but tranfsers, like callings are always for a reason. Elder Cubillas is
his name. It's normal transfers. And tomorrow is my 3 month mark!?!? It
hasn't been as fast as the CCM, but it's still been a little quick.
Even
though he got here on Thursday we've already gotten a lot done, we've
had 43 contacts, 38 references asked for, a sacrament program! And we're
planning how to and working with the leaders to help those who are here
to help as well.
We had a sacrament program!
Check it out! :D No wards or branches here in Peru or at least Cusco
have one, except for Puno Central Ward and maybe a couple others. We're
progressing well to becoming a normal strong ward.
Also
this week we had a couple really great lessons, one with the family
Arteaga and the other with a recent convert Yadira. We talked about the
Atonement with the Arteagas and the Book of Mormon with Yadira. There is
so much power behind inspired questions!
Why is the Book of Mormon important?
How is it side by side with the Bible?
Why is Jesus Christ so important?
Answer these for yourself.
So,
do you know why we should read the scriptures? Mosiah 1:5 (4-7) will
help answer that one too, but think about it and the blessings we
receive.
Read the Book of Mormon, there are so
many reasons to, and just to mention a few, our knowledge will grow and
we'll come to know (conocer) our Savior more.
Have a great week everyone!
Hurrah for Israel!
