Last transfer
Hello everyone, this week had some unexpected, but unforgettable moments.
I've entered my last transfer. I'm with Elder De La Cruz. (My second comp with that name) he's an awesome guy from the Dominican Republic, I've known him for about a year and I'm glad he's my last companion.
This Wednesday we had our zone conference, now, being quite frank, zone conference has never been to me the most exciting missionary experience ever created, however I quite believe this was the best zone conference of my entire mission. It was my last zone conference, and 8 other elders and I, gave our testimonies. The highlight of the conference was the fact that it was presided by Elder Hugo Montoya of the quorum of the 70. He's the great-grandson of Rafael Monroy who was a martyr for the church in México during the revolution (look up his story, it's pretty awesome) him and his wife gave us a really good conference and said some really awesome things and told some really cool stories. Afterwards our district had a special district council with Elder Montoya. The biggest surprise and I think one of the most unforgettable moments of my mission is that Elder Montoya was going to pick a few missionaries to interview, and he chose me. It came as a complete shock and I really don't know why I was chosen. I honestly was a little nervous but the interview was really great. Elder Montoya was very kind and he asked some simple questions. I didn't feel intimidated and I didn't feel as if I was talking to someone of super high caliber like he is, and I feel like that's really what any conversation with any Christ like person is like. I really feel like a conversation with even the prophet would be the same. It was a really awesome experience.
Thursday we had exchanges. I was with a really fun Elder named Elder Govea. He's a really cool guy and he's going home with me in June. We put a baptism date with a grandma named Trinidad, who nearly jumped with excitement with the mere mention of the word baptism. That night we ate a whole bunch of tacos. I'm gonna miss those things.
Friday and Saturday were a little slower, we ended up putting baptism dates with Hector and Lourdes who we think can get baptized this next month. On Sunday we had church and after church we tried visiting people, our only lesson was with a recent convert.
Anyway it seems as if it wasn't much of a letter today, but that was my week!
