I have been transferred
as south as I can go as a Spanish-speaking missionary. I went from the most
northern, to the most southern area.
We are in Seymour Indiana,
It is in the Columbus 3rd branch. The branch here is mostly white people who
are called to the branch because they went on a speaking mission. There aren’t
many Hispanics in the branch, which is sad.
We have a recent convert
who just got baptized last Saturday. His name is Carlos and he is super cool
and nice. Before the missionaries taught him he knew nothing about
Christ, God, or religion, other than the fact that he believed God existed. Now
he reads for an hour each day when he can out of the Bible and the Book of Mormon.
He is married to Elizabeth, who is white and speaks no Spanish. She was
baptized in October. They have a 6 month old.
This area has been
closed for a couple years now. It opened up 2 transfers ago, but then last
transfer it was hard because there was a trio of missionaries that was covering
two areas. So basically everything went downhill. We are pretty much starting
from scratch opening up the area. We are doing a lot of map work and paperwork,
which I’m sick of being inside, but I know that it is good to do because
everything needs to be recorded and easy to use for when another set of
missionaries come in.
I am with Elder Wright.
He has been out 2 transfers more than me. I am really excited to be with him.
He is from Springville, Utah.
Not much to report this
week but the ball will get rolling here :)
Love
Elder Porter
