This week was pretty crazy to say the least. Last Monday night I got
a call at like 10 pm that I was going to go to Madrid the next day to
pick up my companion and bring him to the islands. Totally wasn't
expecting that but I made the trip to Madrid and was able to attend
some training meetings and bring back my son to the islands. It truly
was a sweet experience to have a nice little trip.
My new companion is named Elder Corbridge and he is from Kingsman
Arizona. He's taller than me and he is a crazy committed and diligent
Elder. He came here with desires to work hard, and I am truly
grateful to have him here with me. He's committed to the work. Man
training is way different than I thought it was going to be. My whole
perspective on the mission has just flipped 180. I'm a lot more tired
every day now too, and it feels way harder at times, but that's what
prayer is for, and I truly have felt many of your prayers back at
home. Thanks a ton
One of the coolest experiences this week from an investigator, was
when we decided to pass by this man who hadn't answered his phone in
three months. We passed by and he instantly began sharing experiences
with us about how he had felt the spirit in his life and he told us
that he felt like the Book of Mormon really was true. We tried to ask
him to pray about it and he was like, why, I already know it's true.
That truly was an incredible, unplanned activity which led to a
baptismal invitation being excepted. It's the experiences like these that
really do help me to remember that this is the Lords work and he truly
is preparing a lot of these people for us. I'm so grateful for the
chance to be an instrument in his hands as I try to help these people
come to know of the love and plan he has for each and every one of
them.
Hope your week is super bien
Elder Baron
