We Are Working And Growing Together

Every transfer definitely comes with its own challenges but I am really excited about this next six weeks. Elder Salvatierra and I are starting to click and he is slowly getting use to my pace of working. He’s a great guy and he is beginning to get a feel for the real work I think. We definitely have a lot of work to do this change and we go to sleep dead tired every night but that is the way the Lord would want it to be.

We are going to get a bit of a treat this next week. President Nash (President of the South America East Area) of the first quorum of the Seventy is coming to Iquitos to pay us a visit and to see our ability to teach as missionaries. The missionaries from Pullcalpa are also going to come (another part of the jungle) and we are going to have a huge meeting, and one by one he will call us out and give us a situation and we will have to teach him and commit him to do something. I am way excited to have a General Authority here in Iquitos. Elder Salvatierra is nervous because he doesn’t think he teaches very well. I told him he knows the lessons, he knows how to make a contact, you have nothing to be worried about, just rely on the spirit and you will say what needs to be heard. So this week President Nash is in town, and I will let you know how it goes next week.
