49: Los Prados Universitarios

Lots of goodbyes this week:
1. To Girasoles, the area of miracles
2. To Hermana Gonzalez as my companion
3. To my trainer Hermana Ordoñez, who went home to Ecuador
4. To the best ward, ward mission leader, converts, and investigators in the whole mission

Goodyes are the worst! Especially these goodbyes. The good thing is on Tuesday my last day I got to see almost everyone in the ward before leaving, get new investigators, and spend the day with my mom Hermana Ordoñez! She came up early to take an English test before leaving so we were in divisions all day together. She raised me and I got to kill her. 

My new area is Los Prados Universitarios in La Villa Olympica, we share the ward with some elders. But it is huge! One half of the area is all city/stacked houses and the other half is really poor and up in the mountains. It will be a change from Girasoles which is all city, but it will be fun. And I love Hermana Bissell! We are going to have a great time together.

We only have one investigator with a baptismal date, her name is Elda, and she could possibly get baptized this weekend, but it might be until the next week just to make sure that shes ready. It is funny, Hermana Ordoñez taught this investigator too when she was in this area, Elda has been an investigator and going to church for an eternity! 

There arent a lot of solid investigators here right now, theres a lot of work to get done. But the first day I was there we found six new investigators! So we are going to work hard and work smart to get this area up to the level that it should be at.

My studies this week have been pure fire. I spent a long time reading "The Mystery of Godliness" by Bruce R McConckie and that has really helped me to understand the doctrine of the Godhead and think about the answers I still need to search for. And I love at the end of Enos when he says:

"Ven a mí, tú, que bendito eres; hay un lugar preparado para ti en las mansiones de mi Padre."

That is what we all want! There is nothing more that I want than to end my life hearing those words. It is posibile for me, and it is posibile for everyone who will experience the redeeming power of Jesus Christ.
