Nos acompañará?

Well, this week was transfers and I stayed in the same area and received Elder Loomis! He's from Arizona and has about a year in the mission! So that makes it my second time training a new ZL and my 8TH transfer as a ZL, we will see if they let me have a 9th transfer and a year as a ZL. 

This week was the week of transfers so it was kind of a weird week, but still a week full of miracles. A couple of weeks ago we got this reference from an online reference. The person saw an announcement on Facebook and wanted to learn more about the church. That person got referred to the wrong ward, but then the Elders passed it over to us and we lost contact with her. Anyways about a week or two ago we had dropped her, and then this Wednesday that reference had popped in my mind and we went to go teach the mom and then the whole family came in to listen to the lesson. We had figured out that they were married and wanted to learn more and receive more peace in their lives. We taught them baptism and asked if they wanted to prepare for baptism and they all said Yes! 

Hopefully, they can come to church these weeks and keep on preparing for baptism. They receive us gladly every time and are very cool. They weren't able to get to church this week, but hopefully next week they can come.

That seems to be the thing going on in our area right now, we can invite people to be baptized and they say yes and then yes to church. Then Sunday rolls around and they are just busy. I know there are some people out there that want to go to church and we just have to go find them as a companionship. 

We have a trip to the temple as a mission this week and then we have a special consejo de lideres with the president of the Area so I'm pretty hyped about that!
