This week I said adios
to my companion Elder Barron and sent him off to be a big assistant to the
president. And I got my new comp Elder Mccormies, who is from Arizona. He has
been in the mission for about 6 months, a month and a half more than me. He is
a pretty awesome dude. We both speak
Spanish a pretty equal amount, but we have been able to make it work with our
teaching and I can actually speak a whole lot better than I could before this
last week.
This week hasn't had a
whole lot of craziness besides the transfers, but it is definitely a lot more
stressful when you are in charge of the area. But it has been good. We have
done quite a bit of finding this week through tracting. I can tell you that the
Lord really does guide missionaries in the things they do. There was one
experience where we were walking down the street back to our bikes and I had
seen these Hispanics outside of their house chilling and partying to music. I had thought to say hi to them on the way
back out, but when we were leaving our appointment and walked past them I thought,
nah they are busy and won’t want to listen to us. But then, without even
thinking I yelled out to them and they told us to come on over. We talked to
them for a while and shared just a little bit about the word of wisdom, since
they asked if we drink beer. By the end
of us talking to them 3 of the 4 invited us to come and visit them in their house
later on this next week. It was super aweome! I can’t believe that Satan was almost
able to convince me to just leave them alone and not talk to them.
I realized just now
that I have never born my testimony in Spanish to y’all so I will do that now:
Yo se que la iglasia
de los santos de los ultimos dias es la verdadera iglasia en este mundo, y que
es la iglasia de jesucristo mismo. yo se que dios envio su hijo para que
podriamos regresar a el. se que si nosotros usamos la expiacion podremos vencer
todo nusestros tentacions, dificualtades, y sentiremos paz, consuelo, y el amor
de dios. yo se que si seguimos los sussoros del espiritu santo cerceremos en
nusetro propio testimonio y ayudaremos aquellos que estan necasitando nuestro
apoya. este iglasia ha cambiado mi vida completamente en el nombre de
jesucristo amen
I love you all and
hope you have a amazing Christmas!
Elder Porter
