Hey fam,
Today was a pretty solid week, the highlight being able to go
work in Rio Ceballos and put a couple of baptismal dates with my old
investigators that I left there. Didn't get to visit my converts or a ton of
members, but that will come in time, I will be here until the end of my mission
(unless something crazy happens on Saturday with transfers, but I doubt
it).
Tuesday I went with Elder Christensen to my old area, and we put
in work. I showed him around Salsipuedes, one of the towns that is also
in the area, a place where President is thinking about opening up a branch
there again. I worked quite a bit there a couple years ago (its fun to say
that) and it really has progressed a ton. The only thing different about
my old area is that the missionaries no longer live in the same apartment,
which was weird, but the new one is pretty fancy, so nobody is
complaining. Wednesday we had a zone meeting, where my comp and I gave a
small training on asking inspired questions and extending strong
commitments. And if we commit somebody to do something without verifying
afterwards, it's as if we had never done it in the first place.
The rest of the week was business as usual, visiting and
teaching the people we have set up for baptism this next weekend. At
church on Sunday we had 4 investigators at church, Natalia, Jessica, Serene,
and Gabriel. We were expecting three more, but they couldn't make it for
various reasons, but they will be getting baptized in April now so its all
good. We still hope to have at least 3 in the water this weekend, and in the
zone at least ocho. The choir is coming along really well, y'all need to
look up "Hallellujah Motab virtual choir." We sound like them
now.
In my pdays we usually hit up downtown Cordoba because we are so
close. We teach at the temple once a week mas o menos, on the grounds or
in the waiting room. The choir practice is in downtown Cordoba, not too far,
its the place where we always have mission and zone conferences. The stake
BOM/FHE challenge has died down, the first couple weeks went well, but I don't
know if we will be getting to the goal that we set with the Stake President..uh
oh. All the contacting we do on the street is the Easter Initiative. The 82
year old grandpa didn't get to church, but next week he should.
Sounds like you all had a busy week, and have another busy one
ahead of yall! Love hearing how everybody is doing.
Love y'all,
Elder Mangum
