Progress in Gazcue

MTC Pals

I’m staying in Gazcue! We found out last night that Hermana Morales and I will be staying here in Gazcue together for another transfer. I am very content to hear that nothing will change. 

I can’t believe it’s been a whole six weeks since we began here. I remember those first couple of days when we contacted hundreds of people. It was absolutely exhausting. The good news is that from all those people we contacted, we found Carlos. 

Reconnecting with Sister T. at Leadership Meetings

This week we had a great appointment with Carlos. We had a member with us and he was telling the member about the changes he has seen in his life since he started receiving us. As he has been following through with the commitments we leave him and putting in his part, he has seen that he can grow and progress. It has empowered him. He now wants to improve his life in every aspect. He said he is starting to exercise, he wants to go back to school; he wants to have a family. As he shared the experience he has been having, I had to fight back tears. It makes me so happy to see him receive the enabling power. He has realized that his life is in his hands and he can become more than he thought was possible before. Carlos is super solid. He calls me Christie. He is the tall man in this picture.

Help - one weakness I have discovered here in the mission is that I have no rhythm. Somehow, I always get called on to lead music and I am so incredibly bad at it. Tell any youth that are preparing to go on a missionary to learn how to lead music! 

We had such a fun P'day today with the zone. We played sports, it was so fun to play soccer I miss it. And then of course the elders turned it into a water fight. It was super fun but I am exhausted. Happy birthday Grandpa Reed!!!!!!

con mucho amor,
