So we just read our
news for the changes today. My companion is moving up to be an office worker in
Cusco. I’m getting another gringo companion. I’m staying in Choquehuanca for
this change as well. This will be a very interesting change though because we
have some families that are really progressing. I’m kinda thinking right now
that I’ll just be here for this change and then leave. I really think that we
will be able to baptize the families we are working with but I’m just sad that
Elder Nicholls won’t be here for it. Since being here I've realized the reason
that there needs to at least be one gringo in Choquehuanca. I’m really excited
for this change and the blessings that I’m sure will come with it. I will
really need to work hard with my Spanish now that all my companions have been
American.
As for this last week,
it was pretty funny. It was kinda like panning for gold and only finding a
few nuggets and no gold dust. We didn't have very many lessons but the ones we
did have were really strong and spiritual. The problem was that there was
another holiday for this week and so it makes it really hard to find people.
I've learned so much
from Elder Nicholls and I’m sad to see him get a change but at the same time,
he really needed it. I've also learned so much from being in Choquehuanca about
obedience, charity, and humility. I’m excited to learn more this next change
and continue to grow. I’m excited also for my new companion and all we will be
able to progress together. Other than that, my district leader is getting a
change and my gringo zone leader is going to open a sector and will be training
in his last 2 changes. This change is really crazy but that’s how we progress
in life. Anyway, that’s the big news for this week. I’ll have to lead my sector
for the first few weeks and it will be a little challenging but I’m excited for
the challenge and being able to learn. I’m working hard as ever and I love you
all very much. I’m so thankful for the opportunity I have to serve here and
help others come closer to Christ. I’m thankful for all that I can learn and
for all the friendships I've made here. Anyway, until next week I’ll tell you
all about the new members to the zone.
Love,
Elder Halverson
