Transfers

Familia!

Happy Leap Day! I'm a little short on time, but I'll try to fit
everything that I can in! Transfer calls last night brought the news
that I'll be staying and getting Elder Fifita who is finishing his
mission this transfer. We met way back at the beginning of our
missions and have been pretty good friends since, so I'm real excited
for this transfer. It should be a good one! I've loved being with
Elder Villanueva this past transfer though. This past one was the
quickest transfer of my mission!

We didn't end up with any baptisms this weekend, sadly. But we're
going to keep working with German and Mardo and help them to realize
that they are ready. They both know it's true and have a testimony of
the gospel, but still feel like they need to be more sure. They'll get
there soon. We also set a date for the 20th of March with Patricia
Orellana on Wednesday! She met with missionaries before but then
contact with her was lost. She's currently assisting at a different
church, but she lives right next to ours, so we'll get her there this Sunday
haha. Keep them in your prayers!

I have a testimony that the Lord knows us personally and takes account
of our individual and specific needs. I've seen many times throughout
the mission where there have been occasions I didn't think I could
continue on with something or it seemed like a difficulty wouldn't
end. But the Lord always comes exactly when we need Him! I'm reminded
of a special meeting we had with Elder Clark of the 70 when he toured
our mission in the which he mentioned that we all pass through our own
personal times of being in the "wilderness" while in this life. But as
we learn from the scriptures, that wilderness always ends. Those
difficult times always come to an end and the Lord always has His hand
outstretched. I'm so grateful for the Savior and for His willingness
and humility in coming to the earth to atone for our hard times
difficulties. I know He lives! And I know He loves us. Thanks for all
your prayers! Make this week the best one you've ever had!
