Hello family and friends, first off I just want to say that today I only have a 1/2 hour on the internet because we switched our P-Day for this week to Wednesday. So I will talk to everyone on Wednesday.
But this week has been pretty crazy. I got transferred to an area called Tarija here in the mission. It is literally like a mini Utah here. There's big mountains, the weather is a little cooler and it's not humid. So I'm basically loving it here. It was so hard leaving my first area after spending 6 months with all of those people, but I know that I'm here now in Tarija by revelation. Tarija is about 50 minutes in plane from Santa Cruz. But I have a new companion from Lima, Peru again and he's awesome. He's hilarious and really fun to be around. When I got to this area, they didn't have anybody with baptismal dates because they had just recently baptized 6 in this last transfer. I made it a goal for us to have more with baptismal dates this week and now we have 4 that should be baptized this next month. My companion is killin' it here.
I don't have tons of time, but I wanted to share what I was reading this morning. It's in Alma 7: 11-13 In this chapter it talks a lot about the Savior's atonement. I like the part in verse 13 when it says that he will erase away our transgressions (or at least that's what it says in Spanish). But I loved that part because at times we make a wrong decision and the burden still hangs around. But through Jesus Christ, our sins are erased. I'm so grateful to be a missionary and to teach repentance and to baptize converts. The mission has blessed my life forever. I love you all and hope you have an awesome week!
