Transfer 9

Today I start my ninth transfer in the mission field! Last transfer went by really quickly, like normal. I´m pretty happy here in Albardon, I´m pretty sure I´ll be here for 6 months. 

Last week was really good. Last Monday the Stake President, President Zanni, called and asked if we could put together a choir for Stake Conference in Chimbas. So on Wednesday, during our Zone Meeting, we put it together... it was way good. We sang Acompáñame which I think in English is Abide with Me. I played the piano, kinda did made up some twists and interlude music so it wasn´t just the hymn. Stake Conference was good, President and Hermana Goates came and talked. Also the temple president of the temple in Córdoba came and spoke. At stake conference I also found out that Utah beat BYU. So it was overall a great day.

Elder Balmaceda and I continue to find a ton of people to teach, we found 16 new investigators last week. Our zone as a whole found 62, which we´re pretty happy about. Now the question is how many of those people will get baptized. Like I´ve said before, in Chimbas it´s not that hard to enter into a house and teach a lesson, but it´s hard to find them afterwards and get them to progress. Our main investigator right now is still Oscar Flores, who we put a baptismal date on for the 8th of October, so hopefully he can get to church a few times before the date. 

Transfers yesterday were pretty normal.. haha I´m starting to feel old here, just because the transfer call has kinda lost it´s lust haha. But that doesn´t stop us from working hard, don´t worry. And Elder Sears, my one week trio comp is now the financiero so he gets to handle my money. sweet.

We saved a pigeon the other day hahah. We were at the church and all of the sudden this bird´s foot somehow got stuck in the rain gutters so it was basically just hanging there. But we did what Jesus would have done and saved it. Boom.

Also the weather here has been pretty hot. last week was kinda a fluke, because it´s been hot. Looks like another summer in Chimbas, oh well. Today´s p day is pretty low key, we found a cyber in Albardon the other day so now we don´t have to go to centro to write emails. Saves a lot of time. We´re probably gonna eat some chicken for lunch.

That´s all for this week, kinda boring, but things are going really well. I know that this is the place I´m supposed to be. Sharing the gospel is awesome, even though sometimes it might seem hard. But it brings great blessings.

have a good week!

love,

Elder Anderson
