Dear Family,
Another great week. Sad news was that today was transfers and I had to send off Elder Miranda. Every time transfers happens it’s like I lose a brother. The good thing is that I get a new one to get to know for at least a month or so, so it ends up working out fine. My new companion is an Elder from Buenos Aires (the Capital of Argentina) who totally looks like an American. His name is Elder Garay and I just met him about 3 hours ago. He seems very nice and I’m looking forward to getting to know him well.
Other good happenings of the week: Right now we are teaching a man who just kinda showed up to church with one of the member families. He’s so great. He asked for a D&C and a Gospel Principles manual and he studies a ton between appointments and is super receptive. Talk about prepared! We can only teach him once a week because of how his work schedule is, but we always teach him in the house of the member family and they even help him study in between appointments. He will definitely be baptized soon! Fun fact: 66% of investigators taught in the home of members are baptized. That is a golden statistic, when you figure that only about 1% of the people that let us in their doors the first visit get baptized. Moral of the story: Invite over a friend the next time you have the missionaries over for dinner, because there is a 66% chance they will get baptized.
Anyway, that’s about it for this week. Things are going well. Today we went to an all you can eat restaurant to celebrate the big 20. I honestly wouldn’t have my birthday any other way than right here in the Lord’s field havin’ a blast working. Love you all tons!
