The New Zone Leader

Heyyyyyy Errbody

SO I AM GETTING TRANSFERRED FINALLY five months felt like an eternity here in Alamo, but let me tell you we ended in on a fairytale note.

We baptized 8 people yesterday, and that is the most baptized here in Alamo in one week and ridiculous for a companionship here in the mission.  And the stories of those people, oh it just would blow your minds, I HONESTLY cant describe the emotions we had and how grateful I am to have been apart of the conversions of these people.  

We let some returned missionaries in the ward and the bishop and young mens president baptize with us yesterday so we had a BUNCH of people in white, everyone was so happy and excited, oh wow there was just such a special spirit. 

So Saturday night President Greer called me at 10:35pm, five minutes after bedtime........ That is a terrible sign because President Greer never does that... Never.  

So I was hyperventilating thinking that not knowing, my companion and I had done something wrong on accident.  

But when I answered President Greer said that "Your Heavenly Father would like you to serve as a Zone Leader, and he needs you to help animate and teach the zone how to teach with the spirit more and bring people to the waters of baptism." 

Which caught me really off guard because all of the zone leaders have like a year and a half in the mission and are studs, and then there is me here, gonna have 6 months this friday and dont really feel prepared to teach everyone and be a crazy example that everyone looks up to. It freaks me out a little but it will teach me a lot, and my new companion Elder Rojas is really cool he and I have always gotten along quite well.

So now I am Zone Leader here in Poza Rica, I am going to leave tomorrow morning for transferres. 

Im pretty nervous but I guess not as nervous as I could be.  It was hard saying goodbye to the people we baptized last night because we arent going to have time today.

Elder Garcia taught me a lot and I am so grateful for that, we really set this place on fire here in Alamo and had a lot of baptisms.  I really am sad to leave him, he has been one of my favorite companions.

I liked this quote from Jesus-- "Seek ye the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you, fear not little flock, for it is your father´s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

Well yeah thats it for this week, thanks for the emails.  I love you all

Till next week from Poza.

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYREEEEEEEN.
