April 18, 2016

This week has been really interesting and fun.

Elder Jones and I finally started to get things moving in Emperio. We had two great investigadors Ernan y Alfonzo that came to church. They both accepted baptismal dates and we are working with them to get clean and keep the commandments. To my great surprise, the assistants called me and told me that I have an emergency transfer. I only had three weeks in Emperio, but it was a really fun experience opening a new area. I'm so grateful to have been able to spend these three awesome weeks with Elder Jones. I learned so much from him. He is an amazing elder. He works harder than any elder I have ever known. We took advantage of every minute we had, and we never wasted time. Although it was sad to leave it wasn't as sad as leaving Villa Hermosa because I only had three weeks in Emperio. Well, right now I am in an area called Monsefu. All the roads are paved and its super nice here. Something I'm not really used to but I'm sure I will adjust fine. haha. They have lots of tourist shops here and lots of restaurants. I am only about 10-15 min. from the ocean. The church is the nicest chapel I have ever seen, it has an elevator and is really clean. My companion is Elder Vega from La Paz, Bolivia. He has six months in the mission and is a really humble and quiet Elder. Monsefu normally has four elders but president William took out the other elders in Monsefu, so we have the entire city to ourselves. The city is so big but I'm super excited to explore and contact everyone. Our ward has lots of recently returned missionaries, which is a blessing from heaven because I know they will help us out a lot. We will probably go on lots of splits here because this area is so big. I know that God moved me here for a reason. I'm really excited to be here with Elder Vega. I know that we will work well together and see lots of miracles. I know God lives and loves us. I know he listens and answers our prayers.                                      
Elder Glood.

haha Thats how they say my name
