Week #74- emergency transfers, new companion: Elder Piscoya!

This week was crazy; my companion had emergency transfers so I am with Elder Piscoya from Chiclayo, Peru. He was in the same branch with me and his companion also had transfers so now it is just us 2 in this huge area. Me and Elder Campos were having a lot of success this week, we had two days in a row with 40 contacts and 4 lessons. It was awesome and we hope to have a lot of new investigators from these contacts. I felt really good in the Temple this week. I went in to the Temple with a question like you taught us and I feel like I received an answer. My question was what I could do to be a better leader. I felt that I just need to continue as I am and be more direct with other missionaries and be more confident in myself. I wish we could go to the Temple more often. I always feel so amazing in the Temple. It helps me relieve the stress that we have as missionaries. The emergency transfers that we had have been hard. In both of our areas we had appointments so we have had a hard time deciding what to do and where to go. We are still trying to figure out how to do things here. I feel like it will be harder to contact because we will be using more of our time in a bus going to the appointments. The members were pretty affected by the transfers, but our branch President didn’t seem to care too much and is kind of mad because he thinks that they have been helping us and supporting us a lot. He is a great president but he just wants numbers and baptisms, not really converts. We have amazing investigators in our areas but there are a lot that aren’t married. We should have 2 couples that are going to get married this month to be able to get baptized so we are pretty excited for that. I have been changing my contacts pretty regularly. The last time was about 2 weeks ago. They clean the church just like in Utah they assign members to clean it.
Love, Elder Monson
