This weekend we had another baptism in our ward. It was a child of 9
years old. It was a very satisfying baptism because it helped to get
the family back and reunited in the church. They had been inactive for a
long time. They came back to church a little over a month ago and the
dad made the steps neccessary to be able to baptize his son on saturday.
They are very excited to be back in church and the ward has been very
happy to have them here.
Last tuesday I had my first zone meeting and it went
really well. There are lots of big changes happening in the mission
right now so we had lots of announcements to make. Especially along the
terms of missionary safety in the streets.
I also went to Mendoza this week for a training. I
had never received the district leader training so I had to go and get
that on tuesday and wednesday. That left me only a few days to get to
know my area before my companion left for home (Peru) on sunday
afternoon.
It has been a good week and I feel great about the
coming transfer here in Villa Mercedes with my new companion... drum
roll... Elder Morley! The Elder Morley from my MTC district! We were
very good friends back in the MTC and that friendship has lasted as we
have seen eachother at various missionary meetings. Now we are
companions! He goes home in two transfers (my original return date) so I
might be here to send him home as well... good stuff.
I am very excited for things here. I am staying nice
and toasty down here in Argentina while, from what I heard, you guys
are getting frozen up there in the states!!
I´ll be praying for your saftey in your travels as you guys are commuting icy roads and what not.
Love,
Elder Rainock
