New change.
So Monday we were three me, Elder Castro, and Elder Casteñeda. So Elder Castro left with a member after the P-day internet to say goodbye to all the people he wanted, so me and Elder Casteñeda had some nice peace and quiet for a change. We went and got some sea food and took a nice nap then left the house to proselyte. So P-day was pretty nice so we got home and Elder Castro wasn’t there, it got to 9:30 and he still wasn’t there, it got to 9:50 and he wasn’t there. We were about to call the assistant when he walked through the door with hamburgers… so my zone leader yelled at him and said all that he needed to say, then we all ate hamburgers. My companion and I stayed up all night packing his suitcase. He couldn’t fit all of his stuff so we had to make a few boxes that the zone leaders are going to send to Lima. Well Tuesday morning. Peace out Castro. So I’m in a trio with the zone leader and Elder Robles. So we have a district meeting hangout a bit and eat lunch. Start proselyting in my area and I’m lost ha-ha. We pick up my companion and the new zone leader at about 2, my companion is Elder Bustos from Chile. He is super chill nothing like my old companion and we are getting along great, but I’m still lost in the area. So we are like where is Elder Brown, he didn’t show up with them. So we went contacting because all of my appointments fell and we went to the taxi station to wait for him at 6. We waited and waited. I also had Elder Brown's tie on which was a nice touch. And it got to 8:30 and he wasn’t there. So we called the zone leader and they called the other zone and they said he left at like 8 from Tarapoto which is where the airport is. Which is 3 hours away? So we headed home planned and waited for Elder Brown. The zone leaders left and picked him up and he obviously couldn’t go back to his area at this late hour soo shoot dang he and his companion need to sleep in our huge apartment!. So let’s just say that I and Elder Brown had a good night talking about all types of things.
So me and my companion hit the ground running we have the spirit and we are both lost in the area. So we contacted and found so many awesome people I’m teaching so much better than before it is so much easier to teach when you like your companion and you have the responsibility or directing the area. Elder Bustos has 18 months in the mission he is in the same group as my last companion. He reminds me a lot of Taylor Wilkins so that’s pretty cool Bree. We get along well and we will see if we can change this area because from what I see we are going to do some good work here.
Friday, the assistants came to Moyobamba and stayed with us for two days because we had our interviews with the President so we bought pizza 2 days in a row and it was delicious, but I’m all out of money for the month ha-ha and the assistants owe me some green. But the interview was great. Right now I and my companion are focusing a lot of our efforts on finding inactive members. Not just asking the active members for references but asking them to help us find inactive members because if we can reactivate a family we will also find someone in the house or in that family that isn’t a member. So we are trying hard to work harder with the members so we can grow as a branch and become a ward.
On Sunday we had district conference and the chapel in Rioja was packed full of people it was nice to hear from the mission presidency and to see the entire district united. Elder Anderson and his area just officially became a branch yesterday so that’s exiting they now have a branch presidency his companion is the 2nd counselor and Elder Anderson is the secretary to the branch so that’s something kind of nuts.
Our zone has 4 missionaries that all started the same day. Me, Brown, Anderson, and Amaya our whole zone is young new and pumped to go. This area is going to change and we are going to be on the top of the mission every elder here has a past of success in areas that didn’t baptized so we are all here to change this zone. Everyone says that Moyobamba is the hardest to baptize. That might be true. But that’s why he put all these studs here.
A buddy of mine recently referred to a scripture in his farewell talk, ¨many are called but few are chosen¨ we are the missionaries that were saved for this time on earth because we are the most powerful we need to live up to the millions of years of training that we have.
All you missionaries that are about to leave on your mission. Know that God loved you so much and trusted you so much that he saved you for this time. The time when the world is the most corrupt. Make your Father in Heaven proud.
