| My new Zone. All the sisters are in my District. |
Hey
fam,
The week here was
really good. Elder Venegas and I killed it as far as numbers went, and we
had an investigator in the chapel with a baptismal date for the 31st. His
name is Jesus Guttierrez, and was a drug addict that we are helping turn his
life around.
Other news in the
week, Wednesday we had District meeting and the Zone Leaders came and talked
about numbers, numbers, and more numbers. But the message was good, we
listened to a couple of "motivator" talks. Then the sisters
cooked lunch, which was interesting, to say the least.
Everything else went
pretty normal down here in Marcos Juarez, nothing too unusual. My comp
taught a tradition Peruvian dance to a group of people, and we got a boat load
of new investigators. We have some of the best numbers in the mission, and we are enjoying the work we do.
Yesterday was Mother's
Day here in Argentina, so there were several talks that quoted Elder Holland's talk from this past conference. Once again, I am grateful for the
wonderful mom that I have!
Sounds like y'all had a
great week. I am getting ready to be getting the email any week
"Baby Mangum has arrived!" It’s awesome that Dan got his call,
he is really excited, and I am excited for him as well!
Church was good here,
a grand total of 32 in sacrament meeting, so there is definitely still work to
do with the members. Studies are going
well. I am going through the Book of Mormon with the institute manual in
my personal study. And for language study, I am reading Teachings of the
Prophets: Jose Smith. Little bit of modern word to go in with the Libro de
Mormon. The most challenging thing so far has been keeping up the animo (that
would be...nope, don't know the word in English, sorry) of some of the others.
Helping them stay happy and focused on the game, with animo. We have to
learn to love the work, and then everything is fun! Life is good here in Marcos Juarez.
Love y'all,
Elder Mangum
