Week 80

Week 80

Happy New Year! This week was an exciting one full of great stuff and lots of time to learn. 

On Tuesday we actually went to District Meeting! Wow first one this transfer. It was really good. Elder Rose and I talked about goal setting and what the goals for all 319 converts our mission had this year. It is the temple, of course! It was such a spiritual District Meeting. 

On Wednesday we gave out transfer calls. We have known everyone's call for like 2 weeks! It's kinda funny how that worked out. Well, Elder Rose is going back to Guyana to my old area in Georgetown! He is going to love ti there. I did for sure! My new companionis coming from that same area! Kinda funny. His name is Elder White. He is such a great missionary He is the only one I met so far that had a forge. Just like me. LOL It's going to be awesome :)

On Friday we had our MLC over skype! It was soo good. we set goals for the new year. We all have been feeling a great sense of commitment to all the converts we had this year. We wanted to set a goal to how many converts stay active. We weren't sure to set it 70% - 80% - 90% or what. But Sister Gould (a local serving temporarily in our mission) read from Mosiah when King Benjamin wanted to stand blameless before God. She said, "I can't do that, if I choose only to save 80% of my converts. 80% out of the 5 that I've had is 4 of them. I can't tell God that Andria or Tamara aren't worth saving." We all felt the spirit strongly. And we all decided that we are going to retain 100% of our converts. Now that is a high goal. And we are going to do all we can and God will do the rest.

I love being a missionary. It's amazing to see those we love being saved. 

I love you all very much! Till next week.
