La Isla Trinitaria

Welp, I had to say goodbye to the beaches and I got sent back to the sur de Guayaguil making it a 3/3 on the mission of the zones sur de Guayaquil. 

Also means that I am back to an all Elders zone and I'm pretty excited since,in my opinion, it's a little more fun to be with all Elders and not really worry about the Hermanas in the zone. 

I'm also still zone leader here in the Estaca El Cisne so that makes it my 7th transfer being a zone leader and we will see if I go anymore after this one. 

Honestly, the work here seems a little slow right now.  We've been staying pretty busy looking for inactive members and simple trying to find the people and families to help them go to church, get to know their Savior more and be baptized. 

This next week President and Hermana Suarez finish their mission and on Thursday President and Hermana Taylor get here. It will be very interesting to see if President changes a lot of things in the mission or if he's gonna wait to change stuff around. 

My new comp is Elder Westover, he's from Idaho and has about a year on the mission. He only has 5 weeks in the sector, so we have been getting to know the sector together and been walking around the isla with a map in our hands. Seems pretty safe to me haha. 

The work seems kind of slow and seems like we are walking a ton from Cita to Cita so hopefully we can find some people en camino and cut that walking time in half. 

This past week I listened to a talk called "Hope Ya Know We Had a Hard Time" By Elder Cook in October 2008. It's pretty good and talks about diversity and trials and how we can always get through them and when we are going through a hard time we can simple let our Heavenly Father know " Hope ya know I'm having a hard time". 

I'm excited to see what potential the sector and the whole zone has here in the Isla. We'll see how it goes haha. 

Love ya all,

Elder Roper
