Hey family! You guys enjoy your Thanksgiving this week! I
want to see pictures of the feast and all you guys!
This last week was good! We worked hard and got some new
baptismal dates set up for December. We have just been getting through
references and have some good leads. We are teaching a family with our ward
mission leader who now have a date to be baptised the 19th of December. The
funny thing is that the wifes mom is super catholic so we cannot ever pass by
their house because she would not allow them to be baptized. So we have been
working with them a lot lately. We will have a baptism this week as well. Either
Saturday, or Sunday before stake conference.
Funny story of the week;
This last Tuesday, we were just finishing lunch with our
mamita about to share a spiritual thought. So out of nowhere appear our zone
leaders, they were out of breath because they were running so hard. Apparently
our phone is not functioning right because we were not receiving their phone
calls. So they told us we had to go to the mission office IMMEDIATELY. So of
course being new, I had no idea why we had to go to the office because it
sounded urgent. So we run to find a taxi and get to the office which is about
15 minutes away. So we get to the office and are sitting in the waiting room
for the president. He comes and gets us both and tells us to go wait for him in
the office. So he comes in and talks with us for a few minutes, and my comp
asked him why we were there. So he tells my companion to sing the first verse
of hymn number 120 in the spanish hymn book...and then he tells me to sing the
second verse. So this is without music...and I had no idea I was going to sing
at all. So I murdered it in the worst way possible. And after he told us we
sang because that was his favorite hymn and he wasnt motivated (which we later
found out was a lie). Today we found out it is because there is a special
mission christmas choir that travels around all the stakes. And my comp made
the cut so he was tranferred to a different zone!
As of today I have a new companion! His name is Elder Diaz
and he is from Peru. He does not know english so my spanish is going to start
getting really good. He has about 8 months in the mission so far. Elder
Tomlinson was district leader so they are going to call a new one tomorrow at
the zone meeting. I am also senior companion for the time being because Elder
Diaz does not know the sector yet. So thats pretty cool. Ive got the phone and
the keys and all that right now.
I am still not 100% sure if we will call or skype. But
again I will let you guys know. I can only talk to my family and its for only
an hour. The mission is pretty strict about that part.
Keep working hard back there in the states! You can do
everything through Christ who strengthens us. Christ is our rock and we need to
have complete faith and trust in him.
Love you guys! ELDER SOLARI
