July 13, 2015 ~ Week 54

This past Saturday we received the phone call to know who in the Mollendo zone received a change (transfer), 6 missionaries are leaving and 6 are coming, I myself will be staying in Matarani for the next six weeks!

Sweet!

Elder Agudelo Hafor has brought some sweet ideas to the table on how to improve member/missionary work and this past Sunday we presented them to the branch.  The ideas included a sheet of paper for signups to get more lessons with members present and a mission plan for the branch so they can understand our goals as missionaries.

I’m excited to see how these ideas will play out because in my 4 months here we manage maybe like 2 or 5 lessons with a member present and about 10 or 15 other lessons a week.  So stay tuned to see how the plan will be executed.

This past week before we made tacos at a member’s house we all went to Mollendo to play soccer at the chapel.  We were able to have a member who is returning back to church come with us, it was a sweet activity but the member who was with us from Matarani, his shoes fell apart and ripped.  I’m almost done with my "My Family" pamphlet that the church has made for family history!  When I finish I will send a photo.
