This week we had transfers, as a group of missionaries reached their 2 years and left for home.In the mission when you start someone´s in-field training, he is called your ¨son¨. So I had to say goodbye to my ¨son¨ Elder Chandler. I was transfered really nearby in the same city of Guayaquil to El Guasmo. I am now a zone leader with Elder Castro helping 12 other missionaries in encouraging them and setting the example as best as I can. I am really trying to push myself to magnify this assignment I´ve been given. I can say I´ve worked harder in this week than I have in probably my entire mission. I´m learning alot from Elder Castro from Peru, who 6 months ago was my zone leader, and has alot of experience.
We had 2 baptisms this week of Lady and Sandy (yes. like in spongebob). They are two girls that live next to a bunch of members. The baptism went smoothly and it was a good experience. We brought many investigators to their baptism to see how it was and that helps encourage them to be baptized alot! I have gotten home, I´ll admit, super tired every day! I was very grateful to have a baptism though, which makes it all worth it for me and is the fruit of our labor.
I know this is the church of Jesus Christ and this is his work. The savior went through everything we´ve been through and will help us in times of need. As we are more obedient, we can come to know God more, as we see the blessings we recieve in exchange. As said in a great disney movie, Keep on swimming everyone!
Love,
Elder Pollock
