Familia!
So not to much of updates here out on the mission except that we had transfers. Elder Nye and I are staying together again for another transfer! We're pretty stoked for another 6 weeks! I'm kind of grateful that he's around still, I still have adjustments to make in this leadership position as a Zone Leader and he helps me a lot. We have 12 young companionships and 9 of them changed. Our zone turned upside down! We're really excited though, it's always a pleasure to be able to get to know new missionaries.
My time is a little bit short so just to kind of give you an idea of what's happening or what happened this week... We had an awesome time finding new investigators and one's that are solid too! One of them named Cr. called us today and told us to come by today and teach her at 6. Hardly ever does investigators ask you the day of to go teach them. Woo woo!! S. and C., two sisters, are doing really good right now still! C. still has her baptism date for the 23rd of May. We set a goal to baptize 4 this month and right now we have 3 coming up, so we're on track! This past Sunday I was supposed to go down back to Tulare and watch a baptism. Remember the last baptism I had down there? The V. family? Elder Corona and I baptized the Dad and the mom and son still were unsure if they wanted to get baptized. But Elder Corona called me and said they finally made a decision for the 3rd of May! So I was invited to go... But the night before on Saturday Elder Corona calls me and says, "Did you get your ride for the baptism?" I told him yes and he says, "Great! Well guess what? It got canceled..." AHHH so close!
This morning we were supposed to have breakfast with one of our investigators, J. R., the boxer guy I was talking about last week. Well we weren't able to because his Father passed away yesterday :( so he's taking it a little bit hard right now. His daughter V. called us and told us everything. She said that he's going to be okay, it's just something unexpected. The family in general is doing good though! V. told us he'd appreciate a visit anyhow. I'm just very grateful for The Plan of Salvation, and the knowledge that we'll be able to see our loved ones again. Maybe that's what he needs. We rescheduled our breakfast instead to a lunch this Wednesday. So we'll still get to eat with him.
It's crazy to think I have a year left! I'll burn the white shirt soon :) It goes really really fast, in our Zone we have a lot of old missionaries about ready to leave, and some of them can be a little bit "trunky". Which doesn't help, sometimes it drives me nuts!
Well that's basically the gist of what happened or what's happening. I'm sorry it's a little bit short. Normally toward the end of the transfers things are little bit more mellow until transfer days actually happen.
As for skype we do have a member that is willing to do it for us. They're the Nava family. The mom is mama nava and she's awesome! She is a sweet heart. But our plans for now will be her for now. If I need to let you know of skype time or anything I'll have her let you know :)
Tell West and Mar to keep it up in sports, it's alright to struggle that just means more for improvement! Loved the pictures of J.T. hahaha super funny!
Well family I love you all Much, but my time is up!
Love Elder Horrocks
I almost forgot!!! Happy birthday Mom!!! I love you much :) Have a wonderful day! Let me know how it goes
