Hey everyone!
My new companion is Elder
Gamboa from Tacna Peru!! This first week with him has been pretty cool! We've worked hard and we've enjoyed it too!
My new companion is really
cool! He's a really good teacher in the gospel and he also likes to have fun
too! He knows quite a bit of magic tricks and so hes been teaching me some of his
magic tricks while I'm teaching him how to do the Rubiks cube!! Hes a really
happy guy and always has a good attitude! I feel like this transfer is going to
be a good one for us!
We have 6 investigators that we
would like to baptize this transfer. The first one is Yanela. Her sister is a
member of the church and her sisters boyfriend just got home from his mission
and so she's been hearing things from them and has decided to take the
missionary discussions. She says that she wants to get baptized which is
awesome. We are also going to work with her mom who is Edit too because she said
she was interested in the church also! The next ones are Isain and Alonso who
have been taking the discussions for a while and accepted a baptismal date but
then they went on vacation so we just need to help them replace a baptismal
date! The next one is Julio Cesar who most likely is going to get married for
valentines day and if all goes well, then hes ready to be baptized. Hes just
been waiting to get married for a little while so he can get baptized and he
says he wants to get married before I leave so that I can baptize him which is
pretty cool! Hope all goes well with the marriage. The last 2 are Diego and
Daniel. Their grandma, Benny, just become an active member again and their
cousins Noemi and Shantal just got baptized to so were hoping that they can see
that changes in the lives of their family members ans they will have the desire
to get baptized too! These are our goals for this change!
We have also been working with
the Branch. When La Pradera first became a branch everything was going really
well and everyone was doing their part but now everyone has relaxed a little
bit and the attendance is dropping and were losing active members. So in ward
council we have been talking to them to help them set their goals and get their
vision straight!
We just had an activity as a
ward called a kinkana and it was really fun! A lot of members showed up and we
played a bunch of games and played with some water balloons. I got really sun
burned even though i had sun screen on so that was kind of a bummer but at the
end i popped two water balloons on our branch president and then me and my comp
took off running and that was pretty funny! Now he says hes out to get me so im
kind of scared that i might get wet sometime soon, especially because during
the time of January 20 to February 20th is called carnival and people walk
around with waters balloons and paint and everyone gets each other wet so pretty
soon were probably going to get some water balloons thrown at us!! That should
be an adventure!
Nothing else more to share!
Hope you all have a great week! Love you all!!
Love,
Elder Jarman
