This email won´t be the best or most detailed. And it might even be the shortest email yet. Why? Because we are off to bigger and better places! but let me explain the week really fast to make sure you all don´t think this email is super duper lame.
Last week we had a lot more success than our first week in the area. We were able to find a few families and other individuals that have a ton of potential. One of my favorite encounters this week was with a less active family we found on our list. We went looking for Antonio Carlos, a 18 year old. We sure found him. He was baptized 7 years ago and doesn´t remember much of the church. And actually, he said he has been looking out and searching for the true church. He has been visiting many churches these days and has been praying to know which church is true. So as he had many questions about the church, book of mormon and other stuff we taught him. Then I bore testimony to him that we truly are representatives of Jesus Christ here on the earth, and that we were there in that exact moment to answer his prayers. I told him we are here to bring him back to the true church and help him receive all the blessings of the gospel. The spirit was so strong and his heart was softened. And sure enough, he showed up at church on Sunday and loved it! He loved the testimonies and said that he is going to bear his next month! It made me so happy. He is such a great kid.
But let me tell you all real quick what happens yesterday night. I got a call from Elder Seth. He did a phone conference with our zone leaders and said ´´I am going to pass some information to you guys. Elder Patterson, you are being transferred. You have to be in Asa Sul tomorrow morning at 9:00am.´´ Well, I packed my bags last night and was transferred. And I can´t tell you how ecstatic I am about it. Why? because I am now a secretary on the mission. I am in the mission office. And better yet, I am living with Elder Medina, Elder Seth, and a few other friends that I have acquired here on the mission. My new area is Guará II. I will tell you all about the details later this week.
I don´t know if this is good or bad for you all, but my p-day doesn´t exist anymore. It will be like whenever I have time to send email. So I will send an email more detailed to you all this week with pictures and stuff. You can all continue to write me on Sunday night. I think that would be the best thing. But this new calling is soooo sweet. I have always wanted to get to know this part of the mission. Now Cody will really think I am a princess because we have our own personal driver and our house is sooo legit. Like an american house almost :) haha. But yeah, I´ll write more tomorrow or wednesday or thursday or friday :) haha who knows! But I am soooo excited and am just happy as a clam :) Until later!!!
com amor, Elder Patterson
