Dude, there's a week left in the transfer. I don't know how time somehow passes by so quickly! I've already finished my first transfer of training, unfortunately they're shipping my boy off to Bolivia cause ig I didn't do a good enough job...or maybe just cause it's his time.
More news, our friend Marcelo passed his baptismal interview!! That's rad so now we just have to replan the day cause my ward mission leader is getting sealed the same day and taking half the ward with him...but that's fine we don't hold it against the man. Just makes things more complicated.
One of our friends, Elder, is a legend. We went out to dinner with him, decided to be bomb and ask him why he hasn't been able to be baptized yet, and he was straight out with us. He said he was scared, and also needed to get divorced. So. That's fair. But I love the guy he's so much fun, I know he'll for sure get baptized one day.
Before I end this one, I just want to add my testimony of the power of our efforts. That when we give the best we're able to with what we have, God will fill in the rest for us. He wants to help us, to see us grow. I was talking with my mom today and we talked about Peter, and when he walked on the water, already knowing that it was stormy. But he tried, he gave it his best and put forth another step to reach the Savior. But eventually he started to fall, because of the wind or the waves or whatever, but he started to fall after putting forth all he could. But the Savior didn't just stand there and let him fall, knowing that Peter couldn't save himself after putting out all he could. The Savior reached out his hand and Peter immediately took it. Without hesitation. That's how I want to be, take hold of his hand without faulting, because I know that he will help me acheive all I need to, if I only take his hand. And I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
