Summer is coming!!! My new companion was remarking how green it all is here. I started to look around and it is true. this week it wasn't too hot but it looks like it will be getting hotter here soon. Enero and diciembre sound hot but january and december sound cold. I guess they don't mean the same thing to me in my head. haha.
Last Saturday we had a baptism! it was the branch president's daughter. so not a missionary baptism but still it was nice.
We also had transfers. I stayed here. my companion went to El Colorado. They shut down one of the areas here in Mercedes and my new companion, Elder Curtis, just finished his training in the other area. So our new area is all of Mercedes instead of half. They also have me as district leader and we are in the branch presidency together. It's all is a lot of responsibility.
Elder Curtis is from Texas and is willing to take charge in the lessons and work together to get them done and help the people out.
We are going to be working hard. We have some good investigators here especially since they combined the areas.
We are teaching Alejandra who has come to church and wants to come again. Also we are teaching Carolina who read and prayed and knows the Book of Mormon comes from God. She is a 22 year old single mother of 2 kids aged 4 and 3.
And we are teaching Silvia and Raul. They are from the other area and are interested in reading the book of mormon and coming to church.
Pray for them! they need help to be able to really take hold of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in its fullness.
We finished our month long Book of Mormon reading. it for sure helped build my faith. I learned a lot about being strengthened by the Lord and about having faith. It is not something that just comes and goes. true faith can help strengthen us because we will trust in the Lord even in the hard moments. We can receive strength though the atonement of Christ. I think that's something very powerful and important we often forget.
Love,
Elder Dallin Skouson
