hey everyone!
first of all, i found out about transfers early because elder cooley got a call from president blackburn, but he is training again! and staying districct leader in this area so president said that i am moving! but i dont know where to yet.... another adventure! my gut feeling says a rich white area in the marina zone (the coast....) its been right about all the transfers but we will see....
i am starting to feel like i am not drowning/being overwhelmed in the mission.... i am getting into more ruitines(SP!) etc but i am still kind of nervous feeling like there is so much that i want to learn before i go home! i know its a long way away but still! my testimony is also growing a lot, i figured out that i have sort of a problem with faith, i think that my brain doesnt like that concept haha but yeah i am working on not having a doubting attitude but its really in my nature to question and second guess myself. but slowly but surely my testimony is growing into that rock solid 100% for sure testimony i always talk about! so yeah i am realizing that you can be 100% for sure and have faith at the same time- even the prophets/people who have seen heaveny father still have to have faith. i mean take lamen and lemuel for example, they saw angels and still didnt belive.... so yeah.... i also realized that in my quest to gain that 100% for sure testimony i have become a little self centered, i some how need to completley forget myself and get to work!!!
anway we have our first baptism in the english ward this sunday! (i get to come back from my new area to see it because i taught him...) he is super solid i think i have talked about him before- his name is bilguun and he is from mongolia! but it is super cool to see him accept all of the commitments we give him even though he has virtually no christian background! he is so innocent in this respect and he is loving church and reading and studying the book of mormon! tell me if i havent told you about him yet and i will write more....
we had eduardo's baptism this past sunday! it was as always, amazing! jorge gave a talk on the holy ghost and bore his very strong testimony on it. i loved it! i love him. i am going to miss their family so much! they show us so much love! and jorge said that he will work very hard to learn english by the time that i am done with my mission (mostly because he needs it for his job searching that he is doing and so that he can talk to you guys! it will be great! i am excited for you to meet them/for you to see my mission- the joys of staying in the US...) but yeah thats a long way away so i wont talk about it....
by the way i am still reading jesus the christ and really wanting to read mormon doctrine and books like that... but i cant.... i am going to reanylze my goals because i reallt want to get cracking on the scriptures in spanish! maybe even the OT!
i love you all very much! if i have time i will write more in a little bit.... ill tell you my new area next monday! (i move in this wed...)
