Hey fam,
It was a good week. Pretty busy, a lot of work,
being a ZL isn't as easy as they make it seem. My hairline is receding
even faster than before. 4 districts in
the zone. 11 companionships in total, including the assistants to the
president. But it’s been fun, we have 8 baptisms lined up for this
weekend in my area (between us and the other companionship), so we're praying
that it will all work out! Truth be told, I don't remember a ton of
details from the week.
Tuesday we worked ourselves dead finding people and
putting baptismal goals for the 28th with 3 people. We had ward council
as well that night. Wednesday we stayed in our area and went to the
District Meeting of the DL who lives with us (every week we choose a different
meeting to go to) and guess who decided to make a surprise visit?
The mission president. First time in my nearly 2 years here that he has
done that, but it was cool. We did intercambios with one of the areas,
Arguello, and afterwards ate 3 litros of ice cream in one sitting between the 4
of us. (The ice cream here is super cheap...a cone with 2 scoops here is the
equivalent of a dollar back at home).
The rest of the week was work, work, work. Friday we
went to the temple, which was neat, the first time since Carlos Paz that I have
been able to go. Being a ZL, and over the
temple, I can pretty much go whenever I want. Special privileges, it’s pretty
cool. Sunday
was good, it’s nice being back in a ward where my only worry is that my
investigators get to church.
This week I hit 2 Nephi 2, a chapter full of
"nuggets" as Brother Brame would say, I encourage y’all to check it
out. There is an opposition in all things, but we are free to choose for
ourselves. Or as President Hinckley said "You can be smart and happy
or you can be stupid and miserable. The choice is yours."
We are teaching a boat load of people, but the ones who
should be baptized this weekend are Javier, Richard, Jessie, Ruben, Lautaro,
Lucas. A normal zone baptizes 10 a month, in the zone we have 12 lined up
for this weekend alone. Nothing too different in this area, although I am
on a bike for the first (and probably last) time in my mission. This week we have a Broadcast/training from Elder
Bednar on Wednesday. 4 months from today I land on Texas soil, hard to
believe.
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Mangum
