Elders Merrill and I had intercambios this week. (An
intercambio is when you switch companions and areas to learn from someone
different.) It went great; he is a cool guy and has read Brandon Sanderson and
is a fan which makes him even cooler.
Elder Merrill also gave me this map of all the areas in the mission. I
thought you might want to see it. But, Elder Merrill was transferred and will
be leaving our district.
So further information on our investigators: one great thing
that happened this week we were able to commit both Vivian and Carlos to a
Fecha for a baptism. I'm still a little worried about Carlos; though, because
we still have trouble meeting with him, and he is constantly failing us for our
appointments. He seemed sincere when we asked him, but I'm getting the feeling
that he isn't taking it serious enough. It's like we are more of an
afterthought. We are going to keep working with him though and try to get him
to commit a little more. I'll keep you updated. Vivian, however, is doing
awesome. She has a lot of desires to learn and understand, and she is praying
to receive an answer which is great, and she really wants to know. I'm really
excited for her. She even gave us a couple of references to check out, too,
which was cool. Normally when we ask if people know someone else who would be
interested, they just say I don't know.
That also reminded me, another cool thing happened. We had
our first investigator in church; her name is Carmen. That’s really great news. Unfortunately,
although we have been trying we cannot get into contact with him, we have
called Juan Carlos, and we keep passing by his house, but he isn't there. If we
ever find him we will try and teach him again, hopefully. We will see. At this
point though, we think it's time to take a break and focus more on our investigators
right now. But yea, that's the update on the people for this week.
