CHANGES - BUT NOT FOR SY

February 18, 2013

Well everyone we had changes this week and let's just say that there are a lot less gringos in the zone of Moyobamba of the 4 of us 2 of us got changed.. and it wasn't me. But my two best buddies are now in Lima. Elder Brown is district leader in Weisse and Elder Anderson is zone leader with his trainer in Independencia. It’s sweet because now my entire group are in leadership positions. Well not me ha-ha, but I don’t care, junior companion is easier anyways. Yes President is keeping Bustos and me together so we will have 6 months as companions and I will have the privilege of being his last companion in the mission before he goes back to Chile. I am very excited for this so we can see these families get married and we can get some more baptisms. I am excited to finally kill a missionary as they say in the mission and I am grateful it is Elder Bustos being that we have had so much time together as companions. But for this same reason I am guaranteed to be in Moyo until May, so I will follow the trend of the gringos in this area and have my nine months. Like the 4 white elders before me. I am very excited for that. I do love this area, it is such a tough zone and an even tougher area but that’s why I like it. Because its not super easy to baptize I know that my teaching is getting better. I know I was called before this life to be here in Moyobamba and I want to leave this area the best it has ever been.

This week was full of trials, It seemed that after that great week of miracles this week was full of trials, but we will stay humble and trust the Lord in order to receive those promised blessings of the Lord. We will have a wedding this week, a couple that we are baptizing, a couple from the other zone, and then a member family from our branch. It will be sweet because President Blunck will be there so that will be a nice day. Anyways not much is happening I’m just chilling in a zone of Latin’s on the other side of the world. O yea over 30 missionaries came in this change and 30 more are coming in the next change. It's gonna be full of snot-nosed brats. Ha-ha also I will be completing a year here soon so I was thinking if Bree, Bain, Jenn, and whoever else wants to, should go to DI, Savers, and the vintage stores up in Salt Lake and send me some sweet circa 1960 ties for my year that would be hilarious. All of the Latin elders hate the ugly ties, but the investigators love them. Its an easy way to get people laughing and I think you guys would have a hoot as well. Anyways just an idea. Love you all. I'll send you some wedding fotos soon.
