Hello Everybody!
I hope that you are all doing well. Has school started back up yet? I´m sure it has so I wish you all well in your studies. The mission is just delightful! I keep very busy here in the offices. There are a million things to do and only six of us to do it. To be honest I didn´t really expect to be so busy. I figured that being in the office ment more of a chilled-out relaxed work but that is not true! There is a lot of high-stress work here. It is nuts! Either way I´m enjoying being here and seeing how everything gets done.
Some cool news that is going on here in the mission is that we are on pace for a record-breaking transfer!! We have the goal to baptize 200 people this transfer and so far we are on track!! We have 28 baptisms so far and 170 baptismal dates! The good news is that we are at the very beginning of the transfer so there is much more work to get done. Also, there is going to be a marvelous baptism in a couple of weeks. An area in the mission is going to be baptizing a pastor from the catholic church! The man accepted a baptismal date after reading the Book of Mormon five times. He received it as a Christmas gift from a member. Where there is a will there is a way. The only big complication is that he has to write the Vatican to renounce his membership and title as pastor. We are all very excited about this baptism. It´s something very memorable for the whole mission and it is nothing less than a miracle.
Well, I hope you are enjoying this time in your lives. The Lord wants us to be happy and to receive all the blessings of exaltation. Don´t give Him excuses for not blessing you!
Have a wonderful week!
