Hey fam,
Another transfer come and gone. I am still in the same
area, but my new companion is Elder George from Holiday, Utah. I have
about 2 months more in the mission than he does. He is an old friend, we
have been in the same zone several times, I remember when he was brand new in
La Rioja, we did a few exchanges together, and now we are companions, crazy how
things work out. The zone changed quite a bit, one of my buddies from the MTC,
Elder Hansen, is now in my zone whitewashing an area and training, so it should
be a fun transfer. The week went well, minus the baptism in our own
ward. We had the font filled, but there were some last minute
complications and we ended up not baptizing anybody, maybe after General
Conference we will be able to. However in the zone we had 5 baptisms,
including one in the river in Rio Ceballos! I was able to do the
interview for the guy, who has really given his life a complete turn around
from what it was before. It is amazing to see how the Atonement can help
anybody and everybody who allows it to.
The Easter concert went really well. We had over 1000
people show up. The Spirit was super strong, with the music and the testimonies
from Presidente and Hermana Alliaud. When we sang Handel´s Messiah to end
in Spanish, everybody ended in tears, it was almost overwhelming the witness
that He will reign forever and ever. King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
There is no doubt in my mind that is the truth.
Yesterday we had mission council, and for the 3rd straight
month, our zone baptized more than all of the others. We hope to keep up the
streak here in April, I am really excited for this month, we have some really
great missionaries and with General Conference coming up this weekend, we will
all have a spiritual feast and be ready to work, work, work afterwards.
It is great to hear that y’all are doing well and staying
busy. Love you all!
Elder Mangum
