Working Hard and Working for Miracles

Another six weeks down which means that its TRANSFER time, but it looks as if this go round I am staying at least another six weeks here in paradise, aka TARAPOTO. Half of our zone got changed but we are happy to be getting the new Elderes. From the look of things we are going to have a very young gun zone. Elder Vasquez and I will have another change together but we are also flying back to Lima Wednesday for our Zone Leaders Council. We are also opening up another area here in Tarapoto so we are excited to get one more companionship working with us.
As a companionship, Elder Vasquez and I have made a goal for this next change. We have set the goal to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ better and to be able to trust in him more as we teach his children. Last night we were up pretty late trying to put things into place for the up coming transfers but I think we ended up talking more about how the mission changes us as people and why we are truly here. This last past six weeks I think I have learned more about myself then I ever have before. Everything from the way I have had to council missionaries, council myself, overcome pride, and working as a team, I have realized just what I, Elder Schofield, need to do in order to become what and who the Lord wants me to be. Along with my study of the Book of Mormon I am still reading Jesus the Christ and right now I am reading about Christ´s last week on this earth. Never before have I really been able to understand even the slightest bit of Christ did for us but little by little I am learning and realizing that what de did for us, he truly did it alone, on a long and very lonely path, all because he loves us and wants nothing more than for us to return to him. I´m excited for this next change and for the new goal of getting to know my Savior even more.
This past week as a zone we decided that the only way we are going to be able to baptize at least thrity people this month is if we receive a MIRACLE. So durring our District Meeting we did a giant companionship study of just what a Miracle requires. We decided that it comes down to several steps which are found in DyC 103:36. I´m going to let you look it up and do a little study of your own, but Tarapoto is going to make it happen this month.
