Week #13
4/25/16
Hey everyone!! this week has been pretty good! I will apologize in
advance, i forgot my journal today so i am going to have a hard time remembering
all that we did this week! But the week was really good! Monday, we found out
late afternoon that Elder Le May had changes, and i would be receiving a new
companion. So we went around to converts in the area and Elder Le May said
goodbye to them. Then we visited with the branch president and then returned
home to allow him to pack his things and prepare for the change, which could
have been very early in the morning. There was not much information given all we knew at the time was that he was leaving. Tuesday morning we received more information and took Elder Le may to the bus stop and waited with his until the
bus came, then i spent the afternoon with the branch mission leader. I really
like him his name is Johnathon hes 20 and preparing for his mission! We still didn't have much info about what we had to do so we waited in the house did
studies and then headed to the chapel to wait. We were there for a while waiting
before we received info about my new companion! Elder Acosta is my new
companion, hes a great missionary and is really excited to be working here in
reubicacion! he is a powerful missionary and im earning a lot from him. We
should have a lot of success this change! Tuesday night after he arrived we put
his stuff in the house and headed out to go present him to the ward members and
a few investigators that we teach in our colony. It was late so we didn't have
tons of time but it was a good day! Wednesday we had a normal day of studies and
work. studies are really long while you are in training, which is hard for me
sometimes but it is good I always learn something new and find things that io
can share with investigators to help them! We study from 8-12 so there's a lot of
time! I am soon going to receive the institute manuals in English and i plan to
read the all to gain more knowledge because sometimes i don't feel like i know
enough in lessons haha! so i am really excited to get those! We went to
concepcion every day this week because a lot of our progressing investigators
are there! it was really great! we are preparing eugenito and his father eugnio
for baptism this week and hoping that we can have another young boy named Gabriel ready too! we will for sure have one baptism but are hoping for three!
we have had alots of success this week though! we put 6 new baptismal dates and
had the church attendance to 50 from last weeks 35. We found 12 new
investigators and some of them are really positive! we had a lesson with an old
lady named Carmen and we taught baptism to her. She has been an investigator for
a long time and when we stopped talking she was quiet and asked us, when can i
be baptized! so we will baptize her hopefully in 3 weeks! It was a really cool
experience! Sunday i had to give a talk in church which i didn't enjoy but it was
good. I spent the week prepping it! it was on the holy ghost and i learned a
lot! but im glad its over haha i don't like public speaking! other than that i
dont have much else to share from this week, just getting to know my new
companion and enjoying the area and the mission!
Thanks for reading!! hope all is well with everyone!
Este semana fue excelente como siempre! Me encantan mi área! Cada semana
tenemos mucho éxito! Este semana quiero compartir mi testimonio sobre el don del
espíritu santo. Como digo antes yo daba un discurso en domingo sobre eso y yo
aprendí mucho. Yo se que este iglesia es la iglesia verdadera porque yo se que
el espíritu santo es real! Tenemos un gran privilegio en este vida para recibir
el don del espíritu santo! Para tener para siempre un guía de Dios, un guía que
puede ayudarnos con todo. El poder del espíritu es asombroso! El puede guiarnos
y protegernos en cada paso de nuestras vidas! y como dice en las escrituras si
nosotros tener el espíritu no vamos a tener la tentación a hacer lo malo! Este
promesa me encantan! Para saber si siempre estamos tratando a seguir la voluntad
del espíritu podemos hacer lo bueno siempre! Estoy muy agradecido por este don
en mi vida y especialmente como un misionero! Yo se que con todo mi corazón sin
duda que este iglesia es verdadera y Dios nos dio este don para ayudarnos
regresar a vivir con el otra vez!
Gracias! Adiós!

Love,
Elder Beck
