Hey mom!
Well cambios came in today and Elder Bennion is heading off
to Linares as a zone leader! It’s gonna be hard seeing him go. We got along
really well and had alot in common. God willing we'll be hanging out in Colorado
this time next year!
I have news!!!! I’m going to be a dad! Now don’t miss
understand. Being a dad in the mission
means I’m going to train someone! It’s going to be a trial by fire of whether
or not I can be a good leader. I was thinking about the examples of leaders in
the Book of Mormon and other scriptures. Of all the greatest is The Lord
obviously! He always cared to make sure that his disciples learned and learned
well, that they were taken care of, and that they had opportunities to have their
faith tried and to grow even stronger. President Spencer W. Kimball gave a wonderful
talk exactly on being a Christ like leader. I’ll be reviewing and it for sure!
Andrea got baptized on Saturday! The faunt was taking a really long time to
fill up so we had to start filling water in pots from an instant heater to get
the water up high enough! Elder Bennion had the blessing of being able to
baptize Andrea and the following day or yesterday, I was blessed with the
opportunity to confirm Andrea a member of the Church and give her the Gift of
the Holy Ghost! It was a wonderful experience.
One of the member family we visited with, Hna Carla Miranda, gave a
fantastic talk about how the Holy Ghost has been her guide and best friend
during her activation in the church! The Spirit was very strong and hopefully
Sergio and Andrea will never forget that moment and how they felt!
This week in studies, I made the commitment to use a study
journal. Man, I wish I had used it from the get go! I am more alert and I retain
more information this way! I am currently in D&C 77. In D&C 76 there is a lot of really intriguing
information about the kingdoms of glory! In the BoM I’m working on the tree of
life chapters in 1st Nephi. I am really
trying to understand the way that we can help those who are lost in the mists
of darkness!
I’m excited for the change, for the opportunity to train,
and hopefully for some drier weather! Have a great week at girls camp mom and
stay busy!
Lots of love!
Elder Watts
