Elder HJones: This Week in Paipote

So this week was good, full of new things to do.

It's different being a district leader. Before, I could just worry about my own sector and be good to go. But now I have responsibility for two other sectors and five other missionaries going through my my head and I think of things I can do to help them. Now I find myself thinking about the other sectors a lot and their investigators and how I can help them. But I am very new at it and sometimes I feel like I don't know what I am doing. But I know that God is helping me.

I was able to do some baptismal interviews as a district leader and that was really cool. I interviewed three individuals this past week. One interview was for a 16 year old boy and two interviews for 10 year old girls. The boy didn't go to church this past week, so he cannot get baptized this week. One of the girls will get baptized on Saturday and the other needs permission from her parents....and they want to wait a couple months. But I was way cool to do the interviews and I am planning on doing a couple more this week.

Yesterday kinda stunk. We didn't have anyone in the church. It was the first time in my whole mission when I didn't have someone come to church with us. But this week we are going to work really hard to get people to the church. We have some awesome people we are teaching, but they need to come. 

I have learned a lot this transfer about patience. I pray for strength and patience everyday. And I know that God his helping me.

Con Amor, Elder Jones
