Oi, Bom dia!
Well not too much happened since I last wrote.
Zone Leader’s Council was amazing as usual and things are really starting to
change again here in the mission. I am seeing the mission from an entirely
different point of view now and it is really exciting. We’ve still got a lot of
work to do but we are definitely moving in the right direction. We are
receiving 11 new missionaries at the beginning of April and it is looking like
this will be a trend for the next couple transfers. That is probably one of the
coolest parts about being an assistant, receiving the new missionaries. I’ve
only done it once so far but it is really exciting to see them coming into the
field. I still remember walking off the plane but that was so long ago.
This week we will be going on the mission tour
with Elder Patrick Kearon from the 70. We will be having zone conferences in
Fogo, Praia and Mindelo and then a zone leader’s council in Mindelo as well.
Lots of travelling and I have never been to Mindelo so I’m pretty excited. He
gets here tonight and we start tomorrow so this week is going to fly by so
fast.
It’s been a bit difficult to be in our areas
because we have been running around with so much stuff to do but we have two
office missionaries now so we will have a lot more time out in the field.
President wants us to first strengthen our area again and then be able to
travel around and do divisions when necessary with the other leaders in the
mission. We’ve got some work to do but it’s going to be good to really be able
to serve the missionaries.
We did have two baptisms this last week though,
a mom and her son. It was really a miracle because of the lack of time we had
to really work with them but Heavenly Father blessed us and we had a really
nice baptism service. The mother is really going through a rough time in her
life and she had some doubts that were kind of holding her back for a bit but
the Spirit was really working with her and she is a lot happier now. I know
that she is going to find the support and help that she needs from the members
of the church so things are going to be good for her.
