| Much less walking! |
So this week, after many many weeks of searching we were
able to accomplish something incredible for our sector and people living
here. We got bikes! It is probably something that should have been
bought awhile ago because the thing about Tierra Amarilla is that it is
just one long road leading up into the valley so there is no way that we
can get from one end to the other without walking a ton and taking up
lots of time. From where we live to the far end of where we work
normally it takes about an hour and a half on foot, and now it take
about fifteen or twenty min. So what these are going to let us do is see
more people in less time and also go out to places that the
missionaries may have never been before to find some new people. We are
planning to head to the other towns up the valley twice a week to see if
there is potential, we hear that there is a medium sized town called
Los Loros that if it had enough people could be a Branch. So that will
be our next goal coming up these following weeks.
One
thing that we are preparing for that will happen soon is that the
Branch president is leaving to go live in the USA in March. So everyone,
including me, is wondering who is going to be the replacement. I don´t
think that I will be around to see that but it may just end up being the
missionary that replaces me this next transfer. That or someone will be
called in from left field to take his place.
Ines
and Nelson, the couple that got baptized two weeks ago are now helping
us more that any other members with the missionary work. The other day
they sat us down and started talking about all of their friends that
they want to share the gospel with, all the problems that they might
have,and much more! They are golden. Going off of what they are wanting
to do this week, we are starting to teach people how to teach their friends
about the Gospel. We are going to have classes and practices just so the
members can feel more comfortable sharing what they already know and
applying it to friends that might be passing for hard times. We don't
have a name for the classes yet, but Bryan wants to call it the Order of
the Phoenix or something to do with Harry Potter.
Yesterday I gave a
talk in church and I spoke a a lot about Luke 15 and Jacob 2 and the
responsibilities that we have and the examples that we leave based on
how we complete those responsibilities.
I hope that you all have a good week!
Love,
Elder Brayton
