Week # 55 ~Transfers & A New Comp!


Hi Family,

Its Official, I am going to be transferred.  I will have a new comp that I will be training.  I will be going back to the Bolivar area near Olivarri.  YEAH!!  I do not know who my new comp is but he is new from the MTC.  I will find out and move on Wednesday this week.  I will meet my comp at the mission home and we will board the bus for a 6 hour bus ride to our new area.  I am so excited. 

The sad part is that 4 days after my transfer 2 of my investigators are getting baptized.  These are people I found, taught for 9 weeks and committed to baptism.  I am heartbroken that I do not get to see it through and baptize them.  I will have to check in on them.

I have been reading Jeffrey Hollands talk on the crucifixion of Christ.  He said that God had to let Him do some parts alone.  He said God gave Him an extra measure of strength to make it through.  I truly believe that!  I enjoy Elder Hollands talks so much. 

Thanks for all you do mom and dad, it means a lot to me even if I do not tell you in a way that truly conveys my gratitude for all you do.  I am very proud to have you as my parents, my best friends, my coach, my confidants, my mentors and all the other titles you have accumulated.  I am very blessed!


Love Elder Vance
