June 11th, 2018 Letter #31


My new companion will be Elder Breinholt from Riverton, Utah. I'm kinda excited because I heard he's really good with computer stuff so I just might have someone who can help me keep things straight in the office. He's a little newer than me in the mission. He came in to the mission one transfer after me. I will be training him in his secretarial duties. I'm officially in Natura 2 now. It's a section of Natura that has never been worked in so Elder Breinholt and I will be starting from scratch (whitewash). With that being said I have no specific names for you to pray for in my area. If you want you can pray for Elizabeth who is from Los Lagos because we just baptized her sister and daughter, but she says she wasn't quite ready. She's close though. 

Starting now I'll be district leader as well. We have the biggest district in the mission with 5 areas and two of us are coming in on whitewashed areas. So between secretary, district leader, and a whitewash in my own area I should be a little busy from here on out.

There'll be 4 Secretaries this change so that Elder Breinholt and I can figure out what's going on in the offices and still have time to set a good example with our work in the field.



The best part of the week was the baptism of Evelyne and Pati. I'm sad Elizabeth didn't join them, but she's on her way. Seeing that baptism made me think a little more about the importance of the whole family coming together with a common goal (THT). *THT is a family motto that means TO HEAVEN TOGETHER.

I'll go visit the new missionaries here in a few minutes, but there weren't enough news for them to need me at the bus station to pick them up. I'll be there in the future if/when there's a need.

My ward is smaller again, so I'm back to teaching Gospel Principles. I'll talk to the Bishop about doing it though because that's supposed to be their responsibility. I'm not worried about Gospel Principles taking a lot of time or anything, I would just prefer that the Bishop gets to know the investigators. Because if we teach in the home AND in the church then we are everything for the investigators and when we leave they go inactive.



Sounds like Oregon was pretty. I'd forgotten that Bro. Greer lived there until Dad said something about that.
