A FRESH CHANGE

¡Hola! Well this week we had some big changes. it was time for changes and my comp and elder Hanni got sent away. It’s really different we had a strong feeling that Elder Ferloni was going to go cause he had so much time here in the ward. The surprise came from Elder Hanni we were all sure that he was going to stay. It was sad to say good bye to Him I had really gotten to be good friends with him. Now we have got some new people in the ward and its always a good change. My new comps name is Elder Whitmore. He is from Arizona he is super cool. We were actually in the same zone when he started his mission so I had known him and his trainer is from my group he is super cool. It’s a big change when there is so many people who change out of a ward really brings a fresh new look to the ward. New energy and everything. 

This week We got some sad news so Familia Amigo was progressing really well for there baptism this Saturday but yesterday we when by the house and The Hermano amigo Had been smoking so sadly we are going to have to wait a few more weeks we are thinking 2 weeks to get him really ready to take this important step. Really he took it well and we did to when people have addictions, a Refall is normal. He has smoked for over 30 years The fact that he made it as long as he did is a miracle and he is more committed than ever to drop smoking and get to his baptism. Really though I’m impressed with him I have seen him make so many changes in his life. He has done so much to try and get his life the way the lord wants him to live it. His refall is not a loss of hope nor more than our own personal refalls everyday are. Each and every one of us struggles with something some temptation that always gets us. Even Nephi had it he in 2 Nephi talks about how is surrounded but sins which do easily beset him. (I’m trying my best to translate that from Spanish) we have all got them. When we fall (which we all do) the savior does not hold back his hand and tell us we are lost, even more he holds out his hand and ask us to stand. We have the same plan for amigo. hold out our hand get him back on his feet and to his baptism. We are really excited. I’m excited to be with my new comp it’s going to be a fun few months together I love the guy already.

I hope you all have a great week and that we can all stand back up no matter how many times we fall.
