It's been a good week. I'm learning a lot about church leadership: the more leadership you receive, the more busy you become with a lot of things that nobody really knows about. As i've gone up in leadership on the mission, i've realized that the time is just occupied with a lot of little things. Also, the time is just flying by. I thought this 8 week transfer cycle would be really long, but these first few weeks have just flown by. I'm enjoying it a lot.
One thing i am enjoying a lot is divisions with other missionaries. This week, i went out with Elder Cox. He's a relatively new missionary and we get a long quite well. I see a lot of the young Elder Hunt in him. He's got great potential. To end the night, we bought some pupusas and just stuffed ourselves and ended with extras. We had a really good day and a lot of fun.
On Saturday, we had a baptism. The daughter of a returned, ex-communicated missionary (at least that's what we were told) She's 9. Her mom and brothers are faithful. We don't know the details, but the thing is, she was baptized. Dalia Alvanez.
On Sunday, we had 3 more baptisms. But, i'm not focusing on those too much this week
I spoke on Sunday. It was one of my better talks. I really enjoyed it and it came really smoothly. I don't use notes. I get a list of 3 or 4 scriptures and just follow the Spirit. It makes them come out a lot better and are received better by the members. Quite a few came up to me afterward and congratulated me for a really well given talk. That's always really nice.
The mission has changed me and is changing me. There's not too much to write this week since i just talked home.
Set goals for 2015 and make plans to reach them. Know that i love y'all!
-Elder Hunt
