Dear Family and Friends,
This week was a little bitter-sweet. We had a zone meeting in
Jaen, which was excellent. We also had TWO baptisms! I am so happy! Nicol and
Joel both got baptized this week. They are so amazing and have great
testimonies of the gospel. It took us two days trying to heat up the baptismal
font with boiling water. It never did work too well, but the baptism still was
a success. We had lots of people show up to support the new converts of the
church.
While we were in the church cleaning up, President Williams
called me. We talked for a little bit and he personally let me know that I had
a change. I felt honored to be called personally by President Williams about
changes because that doesn't happen to often. He expressed how happy he was with
the work we have done here in Chacha. He also let me know that it was my time
to go. It was heart breaking to leave my small mountain town of Chachapoyas.
The people and members I will remember for the rest of my life. It was six
months of so much personal growth for me. I love the people so much. Leaving
Sunday, I was just speechless. I hope someday in the future, I might be able to
go back to my small Chachapoyas town.
Today, I am in Jaen and will be traveling to Chiclayo this
afternoon. I will be going to Campilonico in the Latina Zone. This will be my
last area of my mission! That is so crazy, it has gone by way to fast. Saying
goodbye to Elder Johnson is going to be hard today. I would say we are closer
to being brothers than just good friends. I know this work is truly the work of
salvation. I know Jesus Christ is my Savior. I invite everyone to watch the new
pascua(Easter) video. I can feel the spirit so strong every time I watch it. I
can't wait to work hard in my new area. I pray that God might bless me just a
little bit more, so I can go home wet:)
Love Elder Goold
