Elder ZJones: It Was a Good Week

Last day with Elder Rivera

The weather here has been changing little by little. I can't believe that it is cold again. That means the time is blowing by super fast! I haven't received my "trunky papers" yet, (aka release date) luckily!

It was a good week. We had a lot of side things that we had to do because my companion was preparing to go home. He had his last interview with Presidente Resek. My companion wasn't trunky and it was hard for him to leave!! It was awesome working with him. We worked super hard even though we didn't receive all the results that we wanted. We worked to the last minute.

We baptized two individuals this past week! We baptized Pablo and Deysi. They were super excited. Their parents want to be baptized, but it is hard because they aren't married and they have to get married first. They don't have documents from Argentina, just from Paraguay, so the process takes a while. But today they went with a member to the registro civil to figure everything out. I love it when members help us out. So we will see what happens with them. We have a lot of people that we need to visit this week and help them to come to church. We had 7 in church and are grateful. We will be working with them this week.

I am super excited for General Conference! I am excited for any changes and the new things that we will be seeing.

With my changes......I will be staying in Gral Rodrighuez. So, by the end of the transfer, I will have six months in the area! haha I will receive Elder Candela as my new companion. He is from Spain. I am excited to learn from him. He has about 16 months in the mission. He was also AP for a transfer. So I am excited to learn from him and to find miracles as well! Other that that, in the zone there was just two changes, so about everything is the same.

I was reading this week about Alma and his change. In Mosiah 7, the last two verses it says:

36 And thus they were instruments in the hands of God in bringing many to the knowledge of the truth, yea, to the knowledge of their Redeemer.

37 And how blessed are they! For they did publish peace; they did publish good tidings of good; and they did declare unto the people that the Lord reigneth.

He wants us all to be instruments in his hands to teach and preach good tidings of good. What are good tidings of good.

13 But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.

As we follow Him and listen to the Spirit and to those things that entice us to follow Him and when we share these things, we can publish these tiding of good!

Exito este semana en los estudios y trabajo. Voy a tratar a llamarles este jueves!
