This week, we were able to have a baptism for an 11 year old boy named Joaquin. It was a huge blessing to watch him get baptized. He was gonna be baptized two weeks ago, but I guess fear stopped him. But we continued to work with him and helped him feel comfortable. And this past week he felt ready.
I have learned the principle of patience on the mission a lot. That I need to be patient with myself, my companion, and investigators. I have learned that people progress differently. That sometimes its fast, but sometimes people need more time. But its always a blessings to watch people progress, whether fast or slow.
The assistants called us this week for transfers. And I was surprised to hear that I will be training! Another elder in our branch will be training as well. So we will have two brand. new. missionaries. in our rama. I am pretty excited. But, of course, I am a little nervous, too: leading almost everything in the sector, taking on more responsibility. But I know God will help me. I will be staying in Paipote, but will be training a brand new missionary! CRAZY TO KNOW THAT ZERAM AND I ARE BOTH TRAINING AT THE SAME TIME!
This church is true!
Elder Jones
P.S.
The gigante elder is Elder Atagi! He got transfered to Iquique today. His dad is from Samoa! So we are pretty much family with him! haha
