August 27, 2007 - Rich Part, Poor Part

Hi mom!! Things, are a little hectic around here... Whats happening is that they are rearranging the Stakes here in Guayaquil, so the stakes are changing. If the stakes are changing, then, the ZOnes to whch we are assigned are changed also.. so now I have a whole new zone, and a whole new sector. The good news is that President Ridd is now in my sector!! He lives in the richest part of Guayquil... and the other half of the sector is called Mapasingue, the poorest part... theyre in the same stake! Im kinda worried that the differances will cause tension in the ward... but I think everything will be alright. My companion and I have left one of our favoritest sectors, so we are a little sad right now. We left a lot of good families, members and friends. Im in a mix of emotions right now, for example, I cant seem to trust my sector into the hands of other ELders! What if they arent patient enough! What if they arent loving enough? What will happen with our converts?

I am also way excited to open up another sector... especially a new reorganized sector, It just means that the President has alot of confidence in me an my comp. The only part that frustrates me is that we have to move out of the house and pack up all the things in there. That is not fun. We had to update my Area Book.. which is used to measure the progress in an area, we wrote a bunch of little notes so that the next missionaries could pick up where we left off. Im happy because we took Ernesto (the chilean that killed someone a long time ago) to talk with the president to see if he could get baptized... because he was serving in the chilean FBI back then.. the president said that because of the circumstances, he could be baptized in a couple of weeks, when he completely quits smoking! Also, we had a bunch of other families that can get baptized, and they are excited to do it! Last night, we had 3 baptisms and they went great! It was a small family that we had been struggling with for a few good weeks now! So when they got baptized, I was like.... WWWWAAAAHHHHOOOO!! I was so happy that they finally got dunked.

Well this week we have a lot ahead of us, we are going to have to find a lot this week, and try to get something starteed in our new sector. Well, Thank you for the packages again mom! Thank Dad for me too! Sounds like Helam has a great game ahead of him! I hope that he does well... tell everyone hi! LOVe you MOM!
