BIG BIG BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IM LEAVING SENILLOSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IM GOING TO EL BOLSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

transfers came and i am leaving senillosa today and going to el bolson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my companion will be elder Hernandez, he is from mexico. THis will be my 5th latin comp. I have had comps from all over south america. haha.  after 7 1/2 months here. wow so much time. haha. but it has been super good and i am going to miss the people here. 

On sunday we had stake confernece and we took like a bus with all the members and when i told them i was leaving, they said "NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" they were like screaming. THis is the longest any elder has been in senillosa since it has been an area. So i kinda have a record. haha. 

We didnt go to the open house cause it was in buenos aires. just the rededication that was on satilite. 

BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY TRAINER IS ENGAGED"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fetch, its super crazy. haha.

so to sum up my week. let me tell of what has happened in my 7 1/2 months in senillosa.  

i had the coolest experience the other day saying goodbye to people here. The first one was to witness my convert, Alfredo Blanco receive the melchezidek preisthood in stake conference yesterday. That just made my mission. He is progressing soooo much. I have been there when he was baptised, confermed, i helped when they set him apart as a priest, then when he blessed the sacrament for the first time, and now when he was set apart as a elder. Thats what the mission is about. 

Then I went to see an investigator Carlos. I tried to baptise him for 7 1/2 months and nothin.  But he told me that i changed his life. That he saw miracles with me happen in his life. That  the priesthood blessing we gave him, healed him. Literally. Physically and spiritually. I know that the day will come when he gets baptised but he told me that the only one he wants to baptise him is me. (we will see about that)

Then thinking about my success this time in senillosa, i didnt have alot of baptisms, well, i only had one but a girl that we have been workin with for 7 1/2 months is geting baptised this next week. :) Yanella Salas. so as i think about my time here. i thought, maybe my time was to plant seeds. and another elder is going to harvest them. 

my time has been bitter sweet here in senillosa but i come out a better person and a better missionary cause the lord tried my faith in so many things. I have been to the lowest of lows on my mission here and have had some of the highest of highs. But the thing that i gained here in senillosa was not only a relationship with the people but a better relationship with my father in heaven. and i think after reading my patriarchal blessing alot, i knew that this experience is what i needed in my life to come closer to my father in heaven. 

Thanks for all your support. i sure to love you guys. Keep choosing the right. The next email will be coming from EL BOLSON, ARGENTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
