It has been another great week. A few interesting things happened. The other day President called me at night, and wanted me to be in his house the next day at 7 am. He told me he needed me to drive a car from San Isidro to La Molina. A little while ago he had me order my international drivers license. I was also a little nervous to drive here though, because people drive crazy here. It was a good time though, I got to drive Presidents Nissan Pathfinder back to La Molina, and it was awesome. He has been putting me in charge of picking up the cars, and everything so it has been a good time.
The work this week has been going awesome too. We have the ward list of all of the inactive members, active members, and the people the bishop doesn't know. We decided to go out, and just start contacting the inactives and the unknown people, and it has been really effective. We are teaching a family that was inactive, but they have an 18 year old son named Cristian, and Thursday we put a baptismal date for him for the 28th of March. He is just a great kid, and the lessons are helping to activate the family too. They just seem really excited, and his mom is just as excited as ever that he is finally preparing to be baptized. He is reading the Book of Mormon, and saying his prayers. Its great. We are also teaching a 22 year old named Johnny who is cousin of the hna Ambar who was baptized in January He also accepted a baptismal date for this month. Then we have an investigator named Branco from Serbia. He doesn't speak to much Spanish so we have been doing a lot of sign language during our lessons, but he has had problems with smoking. He has been attending church for quite some time, and he hasn't smoked for over 3 weeks. We are excited as ever for Branco, and we are preparing him for the end of this month too. We just need to find the interview questions in his language, because we won't have his mother in law there translating. Its all good though, he is really converted, and is quitting smoking.
Presidente called me in for an interview the other day, and asked me how I was doing and how I felt in the oficina. I told him I was fine, but I think I'm ready to head out in the field again. He agreed, and he asked me to help him for a few candidates for a new financial secretary. So in the next few weeks I will be training my reimplacement. It is going to be at least a month of training, but I have the field in my sights. Its going to be great to get out there and work all day long teaching the gospel. What a great experience it has been here in the office though, and I'm sure it is going to help on resumes and getting into a Masters program in accounting at BYU. Well we'll see what happens, but its just whatever the Lord wants for me. Thanks for all of your support, and sorry its a little short this week. There is an Elder in the hospital and its my turn to stay with him today. So we'll be talking next week. Love You.
Elder Lee
