GOODBYE ELDER BUSTOS

March 25, 2013

Hey everybody, well on Monday we had a last P-day with Bustos. We played soccer and Bustos and I went to get his souvenirs. Tuesday we had almost the only full day of work. We were visiting our families with baptismal dates. Wednesday we went to Tarapoto for a training in which we learned a lot about the Holy Ghost and the importance of him in our lives and especially with the investigators. Then came Friday, o man was the wedding so sweet! It started at seven, but in Peru everyone is a hour late, so we started at eight. So you can imagine how it was, but it was great, very stressful, but great. After we baptized the three couples and it was a real white out party. Christian and Celia were so very happy. It is so great to see people make changes in their lives for the good and to see them receive the blessings of the gospel. It is amazing to see the branches helping us focus on the families and actually accomplishing the goals we have as branches, as a zone, and as a mission. On Saturday we then had the opportunity to baptize two kids Ney and Gelen (Helen). It was also a very hectic day then visiting all of the members and converts here in Belen. Sunday we woke up and went to sacrament meeting then we got his bags and I sent him away to Tarapoto for his flight to Lima. I thought it would be harder to say goodbye, but you all know I’m good with goodbyes. So it wasn't that hard. I am with Nils now until later today when I'll be with the leaders until my companion get here, but I might get changed too. So let’s see. Hope not ha-ha, but more than likely I'll be here until May. My companion will get here on Tuesday. I am more nervous about having to get to know someone else as my companion. Six months is a very long time, but I am exited to get started. Nils is the sickest in lessons, the kid is so close to the spirit, he is a better missionary than I am. I sure hope he gets out on the mission before I’m back in Utah. My patriarchal blessing said I would help many missionaries succeed in their missionary callings. The lord prepares people. I loved my time with Elder Bustos and I know he will do a lot of good work at his house as well. I love you all. Pray I don’t get changed ya.
