June 19, 2017~"You Don't Find the Happy Life, You Make It"~Thomas S. Monson

1.  Is this week a transfer week?  
Yeah we had transfers and I am still a Zone Leader but I am opening an area up and so its going to be hard haha 

This week was the last week of my time here in Tacuba.   It was a great week that we had and a bad week due to the fact that I had to say goodbye to all my family, to my friends and family here in the barrio tacuba la bella. I love this area but its time for me to go to another area.   We were passing by with Hector and his family a lot this week so that we could baptize them and guess what, that is exactly what we did.  We had four baptisms on Saturday and confirmed them as members on Sunday and it was a great feeling because he has been trying to be baptized for 2 years and he finally separated with his girlfriend and they got baptized.  It was a great feeling to be able to baptize them. It was my goal to leave this area with them as members and that is what I did.  I completed my goal and helped them take one step closer to God.   I have been in contact with him since I came to the area and now my last day he was baptized.   He told us that everything that he wanted never happened or he never could do it but when we got to that day he told us that at last it was his time and what he wanted. and he did it for him to come closer to God.   He took that step and I am proud of him.   I also said goodbye to a lot of members and friends that I have here.  It is the sad part about leaving this area because that is what happens... we get closer and comfortable and then they send us to another area.  I wish I could be here longer but God wants me in another area and that is whereI I will be.  I can only help certain people like Hector... only I and my comp could have done that because he is our convert and we were sent here to help him....now I got to go to work in Castorena.   We don't know anything about this area and there isn't a map so its crazy.  Elder Bradley will help us with that tomorrow but its a big area.  I am excited to get to work here with Elder Bonner (my new companion).   He is super good and we will get along really well.  He is from Draper and went to Jordan High School.   I hope I can have success here because I think this area is good and when we learn where everything is then we will have a little better control over everything.  It will be a challenge so we will see what we can do.
