Elder Tellez is the son of Elder Bear and I! We are in a threesome right now, until I go home. Then they will be companeros. He is from Costa Rica! Like directly from Costa Rica. He went to the MTC in Provo for a week and a half and then came to Irvine! He speaks perfect English; he self taught himself everything in Costa Rica watching movies and listening to music in English. He is super cool. He is going to be a fantastic missionary!
This week has been good. Johan wasn't baptized on Saturday... :( Since we last set the date with him, we had never met with him... So, he didn't met all the requirements to be baptized... But, we finally met with him again yesterday morning before church and set a new baptismal date with him! Yay! For the 16 of November. Hopefully what happened before does not happen again and we can actually meet with him. That was the second week in a row that we had set a baptismal date the morning before we went to church. Miracles!!! The other one was last week with Alma.
We found a few new investigators this week but you can't really tell much from the first lesson. Hopefully they can progress and be baptized. We are working really hard to get some baptisms in this ward. We keep praying, talking to everyone and teaching. We have a goal of two baptisms this transfer. There are people that can be baptized within the next 5 weeks, we just have to work really hard and do everything we can to bring them closer to Christ. It might be just because I'm going home in 5 weeks, but I have felt a big sense of urgency recently. There is little time left before Christ comes again and we have to do everything within our power to help ALL of his children receive the blessings of this restored Gospel.
Elder Bear just hit his one year mark a about 10 days ago. He was trained by Elder Simmons! (who goes home in 2 weeks! CRAZY! If I would have stayed in Carlsbad, I would be home in 2 weeks. INSANE!)
That's so crazy that Jaxon is already going to Florida... There are some missionaries that just came in from the Mexico MTC (like my grandson, Elder LeFevre! jaja) and they said it's so awesome. New missionaries are so cool. They have so much power and so much desire to do the work.
I have learned a lot about family history and the importance of it out here on the mission. I am excited to start doing more research and then going to the temple and doing the ordenanzas for them! The temple is sooooooo cool. I cannot wait to go all the time when I come home! Especially in Spanish :) jaja
The Lord is hastening his work and we all have to do our part!
I think that is all I have for this week. I hope you have a wonderful week!
Love you!
LOVE, Elder Hunt!
