Growing the Flock

Well, another very exciting week for us here in the offices. Conference was amazing as always and I have two favorite talks to share:

Elder Robert C. Gay
Elder Jack N. Gerard


Our seed finally produced the fruit we had been waiting for. Sol Dayanna Vargas Sanchez was baptized and confirmed this week and she is awesome! Her family are all members and were baptized 2 years ago roughly but Sol had recently had a child so she decided not to be baptized. We were able to teach her and help her along her journey towards baptism and an eternal family. (Excuse the sun burn lines in the baptism pictures... White people problems) We also had over 40 members at our baptism too (which is a ton in Bolivia) so the ward support is definitely improving a ton! We are really seeing a lot of miracles in our area now!


We were able to find 8 really solid new people to teach this week as well and we have another baptism (por lo menos) planned for Oct. 20th so that is exciting! Since I am a District leader now I got to give a baptismal interview for the first time too which was really spiritual. On Friday morning, we had immigration stuff for over 5 hours with some missionaries which obviously is the highlight of my week...not. Then that same day it started to pour rain and there was thunder and lightning. This country is bipolar.

Anyway got to go to San Pedro to help with a new englishconnect something for latinos so they can learn english so that was cool on Sunday also. Apparently it´s some new world wide program or something. Anyway that´s about it for my week. Stay fresh and stunt it

P.S. - Scored a new scripture case and my little plant I've been growing for awhile now is doing well.
