Transfered!!!!


Well, the call came as well as the interview.

Family now I am in Córdoba Capital, in a barrio called Patricios, my area being called Patricios 2.

Alright so the first part of the news will be what happened in the last week and a half, and the second part will be about the area a bit.

Part 1:

So last week Elder Roldán and I worked our little butts off to make sure that all we did was to bring the families that we were working with made it to church, because they are all amazing and strong. It truly was amazing, with many lessons that strongly, and effectively, brought the Spirit in. We were only able to meet with the Flia Amione once, because of complications through-out the week, and she didn't come to church (which wasn't a surprise, it was mother's day here on sunday.) However, in her place, we brought a family to church, the Flia Molina, and one of our investigators came by herself, we weren't even thinking she'd come, the Hna. Vera. It truly was a miraculous week, seeing these modern-day pioneers use their faith to do that which they know is right.

In this last week in a half, we also had our interviews with Pte. Salas, and it was incredible. We received our transfer calls the night before (monday night) and had our interviews Tuesday afternoon. Elder Roldán is going up in leadership in a big jump, not only with his future including that he'll be a district leader this next transfer, but he will also be training. Elder Moore as well, as being transfered with me will be going up to Zone Leader. Finally, Pte. Salas in my interview informed me that I am progressing in a way to become a leader for the mission, and this will most likely be my last time being Jr. Comp.

Part 2:

Well, I'm here in my new area. My comp is Elder Ordenes from Chile. He's a veteran of the mission, and has only 3 tranfers left till he's home. We both have come in to this area completely new, in other words, that whited-out the past missionaries and put us in in there place. We have a great responsibility now, because on the 30th of October, we have a baptism for our area, so we have to make sure we do everything right. We also have the joy of getting to know an area in which we are both complete strangers to. In this new area I have also changed zones, and will be living with the Zone Leaders here in the area. We all work here in Patricios, and it will surely be fun.

I love you all, and am continuing to cheer on for the teams that our family loves, Phillies, Eagles, and God's team, the missionaries!

P.S. (Pix!) One for now cause this computer doesn't work well, but at least a pic of your son on P-Day, looking forward to the future.
