Dippin' out of Obrero!

Yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoy what is up. You read that title right. I am DIPPIN outta here in Obrero as well as the zone finally. I've been in the same district my whole entire mission so I'm pretty excited. I'll be going to an area called Paso de Oro. I've heard it's a pretty poor area. Someone told me that when members call you you need to not answer and call them back so you don't use data on their cellphone plan. So that's pretty lit. I'm going over there with Elder Santana. He's from Brazil, so this will be my 2nd Brazilian comp. I guess the Lord is telling me I need to learn Portuguese...

     My time here in Obrero has been AWESOME. The work here is really hard and nobody we talk to wants to be taught, but really have loved the branch. All the members are awesome and we always have lunch every day, which is super nice. I guess we'll see about my next area haha. I've made a ton of friends. I found out the transfers yesterday and I immediately had to write like 8 notes for different families that I'm friends with.

     I've also learned a toooooooon these last 6 weeks with Elder Quinde. It has been CHALLENGING, but the blessings have been great. I've really just learned to rely on the Lord and ask for help with all my daily trials. I've gained a testimony about the Book of Mormon more stronger than ever. I know for a fact that our Heavenly Father loves EACH and every one of and wants to best for us and that we can communicate with him through sincere prayer. The Gospel is awesome guys.

     This week we had another inactive family we've talked to a lot go to church. Our mission president wants us to start using these contract papers that say "I will attend church this Sunday" where we give them to investigators and they sign them to help them remember to go to church. We gave 2 this to this inactive family who hasn't gone to church for months and they went! So that was cool. I didn't have any baptisms here, but like 6 inactive families have started going back to church, so that's cool. Church attendance was 77 yesterday, and when I first came here it was like low 50s, so I'm happy.

     We're at this weird cyber place and I have nowhere to put my SD card, so no pictures this week, SOOORRYYYYY. But I'm crazy excited to get outta here and go baptize some peeps. Thank you for all your prayers and hope you all have a bombtastic week.
