HANDSTAND ON MOUNTAIN

 July 30, 2012


New change
Guess who is in the jungle!!! .. Not me! Our zone is 10 missionaries and we had 5 change! Yes half of the zone. So that’s sweet  Ha-ha my companion left to Iquitos on Tuesday and I got my new comp Elder Cruz from Querétaro, Mexico. He is a stud, he looks like Ecrul straight up. He has one more change in the mission than I do and he is one change older than me in his life. He started in Iquitos and has been there for his first 6 months. Its pretty fun having two young elders in the area because we actually do work. We are baptizing the 96 year-old lady this week and we are also baptizing a family. The dad is a member, he is in the army and is inactive. They are basically members,  he teaches his family the lessons before we come over and the wife and their two daughters and taking it all in and are super ready. I think we will be getting that baptism this next week.
On P day last week Elder Harris and I climbed a mountain because we are crazy North Americans. I hope you like my gnarly pictures. There is much going on this side, Elder Cruz and I are just focusing really hard on our families so we can get 8-4-2 in the mission, which is an award where one month you have 8 investigators progressing (4 families and 4 others), 4 baptisms and 2 families baptized in one month. We think it would be sweet to get that as two super young missionaries.
I’m leading this area, we are both senor companions because he has only one change more than me, but I have two changes in this area so we are just kind of burning up this zone. I’m destroying all of the bad habits I made with my trainer and continue to do the good habits and learn more good habits from Elder Cruz. 

change is good.

Of course Sy decided that doing a handstand on a rock on a mountain was a safe thing to do!!!!
