Well, this week I'll hit my 6 month
mark. I can't believe it. Sometimes I feel like I've been here for a
long time, but when I think back to my first day in the MTC or when I
first got to Spain I realize time has just flown by. And, next Sunday,
Elder Ferguson and I will be able to celebrate "missionary togetherness
day." By that we mean that together we will be one whole missionary. Or,
in terms that make sense, I will be 3 days over 6 months and he will be
3 days under 18...which equals 24 months....which equals 2 years. Yes,
it is as lame as it sounds and we fully acknowledge it, but we take any
excuse to have a celebration!
Well, not too much "mentionable" happened this week;
we're still just working hard. We have 5 investigators who are
progressing really well right now. One of them, Beatrice, has a
baptismal fecha for November 19th! Melissa and Juan Miguel, two other
Bolivians, love the church and we are hoping to set fechas with them
this week. Woohoo! We have also been searching for new investigators a
lot. Contacting has been really ineffective in Huércal recently, so we
decided to start exploring the pueblos around here to check them out. It
has been really cool because a lot of the people have never heard of
the church and we are the first contact they have with the church. It is
a great opportunity to be an example to them of what the church is and
what we value.
I think I should start making a journal of what
adventures we have with our newfound British store. This week I learned
that "interesting" sounding British soda never tastes good. Ever. We
also bought an oven so we can start exploring the incredible selection
of strange frozen food there. Exciting times, kids.
Well, I think that's all. I hope you're all doing
great! I love you so much! The church is true - there is no other church
so upheld by the Bible. No other church organized in the way Christ
organized his church. No other church that can truly trace priesthood
power through righteous men all the way to God. And, most importantly,
no other church that has the entire gospel of Jesus Christ and all of
the proper ordinances restored through the Book of Mormon and living
prophets.
I love you!!
Elder Mockler
