This transfer has been nuts! We've seen a lot of success
and we have pretty good teamwork in teaching. Things have been super successful
and fun with Elder Fletes, we've seen miracles since our first day. We have 9
investigators on date for baptism so we are pretty excited about that. Elder
Fletes is a convert of less than 2 years, but before he talked to missionaries
he never read the Bible or anything. Elder Fletes is super humble but he
doesn't like to seem dumb so he told me that when he would get home from church
he would read the Bible and the Book of Mormon until 9:00 at night. So he knows
a lot of Bible stuff and loves to bash.
The few Hispanics that are actually
Christian always answer the door with a Bible in their hand ready to prove that
Mormonism is wrong and Elder Fletes gets really excited and quotes like a
hundred other scriptures. Normally you aren't really supposed to do this, but the
thing is the Hispanics really respect someone who is intelligent, especially in
scripture, so we get invited back and have a chance to teach the restoration
and set up more lessons.
The work has been good so far, I have a learned a lot
from my new companion and we are making some really good progress together. Nothing
is more amazing than visibly seeing the gospel bless the lives of a family or
an individual.
The last photo was on Thanksgiving Day. The mom texted me the photo of having Hunter and his companion over for dinner.
