Hola familia y amigos,
Well, the transfers were announced Thursday night, and they told Elder
Hicks and I that we are both staying in Cerro Colorado. We got a call on Sunday
afternoon though from the assistants to tell us that Elder Hicks got
transferred! This morning we went to the mission office, and Elder Hicks took
off to another sector, and now I am with Elder Fasshauer from Lima Peru in Cerro
Colorado. We were kind of bummed because Elder Fasshauer and Elder Hicks were on
their last change, and they both got transferred to a new sector where they don't
know anyone. Oh well. Elder Fasshauer is really nice, and he isn't looking
trunky, so we are going to be able to work hard his last change
I left my old agenda and journal in the house, so I´ll try my best to
remember what happened this week.
N and K, a part member family, had their oldest son baptized this
Sunday. We have been working a lot with them so k gets baptized, but she
still needs some more time. Their son, Benjamin, is 8 years old, so it is a ward
baptism, but he wanted Elder Hicks to baptize him. We told him that usually
other members do it, and that he should pick someone else, but he wanted elder
Hicks to do it. Yesterday was his baptism, and we had some investigators that
came to see, so it turned out really well.
We found an awesome family that is really religious. they let us come in
and they were really receptive to the message. It was nice to find them after a
week of not finding anyone. We´ll see how it goes with them.
We are still working with R and P. They weren't able to come
to church this week, and because of the baptism, we couldn't visit them
yesterday, but we are planning on passing by with a member to visit them this
weekend.
We found another new person named P. He was very formal. He was very
impressed because we arrived with shined shoes, and exactly at 11:00. Just goes
to show that the little things count. he really likes serving the community, but
he lives alone. We hope that he understands that the best thing to help his
fellow men is the gospel, and we hope that the members will help us out with
visiting him.
I'm still walking around a little lost here in the sector so it is going to
be fun to open this sector with Elder Fasshauer.
Just want to end with my testimony about repentance and prayer. I always
heard leaders and people in church talking about daily repentance. I understand
how it works now. I repent everyday as I set goals to become more like Christ,
and I track my progress when I study the scriptures and pray to God every night.
there is nothing more beautiful to me than repentance, and I am so grateful for
God´s plan that has given us the conditions of repentance of man in this state
of probation. I am thankful for the Lord Jesus Christ who lets me be cleansed
from my sins.
gracias por todo,
Elder Williams
