Well this transfer got started off really busy especially now that President called me as a District Leader this transfer. He really threw me off when he anounced that i'd be the District leader in the District of Toa Baja because really i'm not that old in the mission yet. I dont even have a year out completely and everyone else in our District at least has 14 months other than me and my new companion. Its a pretty humbling calling that the president gave me for this transfer and i hope that i'm able to do a good job of it. Basicly i'm incharge of 4 pairs of missionary's and am going to be leading a lot of meetings. Just like every other calling i'm really going to learn a lot from this one.
So now in other news my new companions name is Elder Parodi from Spain... Yup pretty cool right, and the great part is he doesnt speak any english so that pretty much means i'm going to be learning a lot this transfer spanish wise also. The couple of days we've had together also have been great and we really do work well together which i'm greatful for. Lets hope that that just keeps up right. We had a good lesson with Andres yesterday where the spirit was felt in abundance! It was great because finaly he came out and admited his problem openly to us infront of every one about the alcohol which means he's finaly starting to take the first steps. His main concern wasn't the alcohol though, it the depresion he has from all the things that are going on in his life. We took what he said in acount and then set a goal with him to start working on.The goal includes certain things we're going to do with him every day. We're going keep on going walking with him every morning which he likes to do anyway and also we're going to do a little scripture study with him every morning to get him started off right. We'll see how it starts to go, but really only time will tell like always... Were excited though and we put a goal on baptisim which will be July 11th if all goes acording to plan!
Well that about wraps up the action here in the mission field so now i'm throwing it back to you... Much love,
Elder Lopez
