Transfers

Hey all!

Crazy to think I've been in the mission for two months, yesterday, and in the field for 6 weeks already. Transfers were yesterday, and I've got a new companion, Elder Crane. He's super cool; it's going to be an awesome six weeks. He's doing one of the hardest things in the mission; training a gringo, in an area he just got to, as a first-time district leader.

More importantly, two baptisms! Hermann last Saturday and Rodrigo the week before. Sorry for not writing last week. The baptisms were so so cool. Hermann is this 60ish guy and so wonderful. He's always happy, but I've never seen him happier than the moment when he came out of the font with that gigantic grin on his face. I'd like to relate his story. He was praying for a while to find the true church, because he felt like he'd been looking for a long time. He was praying really fervently one day, and felt like he was going to get his answer. Meanwhile, Elder Felix (previous comp of my last comp) had a feeling during their daily planning that they needed to go to an area they didn't usually go to. They pass ten people on the street, don't feel like they need to contact anyone. Then they both are like, let's go talk to that guy. Sure enough, it was Hermann, he'd just left his house. Before they'd finished the first lesson right there on the street, he was like, I have my answer. This is the Church of God.

No more time, but hope that that story inspires you all to follow your promptings.

Love you guys! The mission is the best, and this Church is true.

Until next week (hopefully),

Elder Child

PS I love getting emails ;)
