8/5/14
This week went well. Sorry im writing a day late, we had some complications yesterday, and got permission to write today.
So this week we had emergency transfers again. Our district leader, Elder
Quintana was moved to a different zone here in Bogotá, to be a zone leader. Elder
Neilson is the new Elder in our district, and was trained by Elder Macias as
well as me. He is super cool, and I met him in my first zone in Neiva.
This week we have been focusing on finding new investigators, because right
now we only have a few investigators that are actually progressing. Zully and
Manuel had their baptismal interviews, and will be baptized this Saturday, and
we are super excited. We are hoping that Andres Torres will be able to baptize
them. They are great, and are moving along really well.
This week we had our first lesson with Jefferson, who heard the
missionaries about 3 years ago. He still has his copy of the Book of Mormon, and
is super excited to remember everything he learned when the missionaries were
first teaching him. He told us he was going to introduce us to his family, and
we are really excited to find new people.
This Saturday we went to the temple with our investigators as part of an
activity we do every month, and it was really cool to go again. We took with us
Angela, who is really great, and loves the church. Her baptism was also planned
for this week, but she didn't come to her interview, or to church, so we are
going to see tomorrow what happened. When we were at the temple, I saw Elder
Cribbs who lived across the hall from me at BYU, which was really cool! I was so
excited to see an old friend. He is in the MTC here in Bogotá, and is going to
Bolivia on his mission. At the temple I also saw Elder Hurtado, and President
Dyer from the MTC.
Other than that, not much happened this week. im still loving it here, and
having a great time with Elder Martinez. We are working hard, and seeing the
fruits of our labors. I love this mission, and I am so content to be serving the
Lord.
Thanks so much for reading,
Elder Beck
