Hola

This is most likely going to be the shortest group email that I've
sent home yet.

This week went really good because we got our investigators to meet
with us at least once since we told them I was leaving forever.  I was
thinking a lot about what I could leave them with to give them some
motivation, and received a prompting that the best thing I can leave
with them is my honest testimony.  I was able to share that testimony
a lot this week.  Sharing testimony is one of the greatest things we
can do to strengthen it, and one of the best ways to feel love from
our father in heaven.  I really felt that love a lot this week as I
was able to testify of him to others.

I am here in the southern part of Madrid in Parla and these next two
weeks are going to be kinda like the first two weeks in the mission,
because I know nothing about the peninsula. All I know is that they
speak Spanish a little different, and it's a lot hotter here in the
summer but without the wind.  I'm stoked to be serving in a little
bigger of a ward but I have heard some mixed feelings from other
missionaries about this area. NO IMPORTA, it's a new adventure and I'm
gonna give it my all at least.

Thanks to all for the love and support

Elder Baron

Here is a letter from the mission president regarding Elder Baron being called to be a district leader! So proud of him and the things he has already been able to accomplish out in the field! 

The Baron Family

Dear Brother and Sister Baron,

It is a pleasure to inform you that we have assigned your stake member, Elder Baron, to serve as a district leader in the Fuenlabrada District. This position carries with it increased leadership responsibility. The District Leader is to set an example for the other missionaries in his district through his study of the scriptures and the gospel, obedience and hard work, proselyting skills and other aspects of missionary work. Elder Baron will be responsible for planning and conducting weekly District Meetings, and in supervising, teaching and inspiring the missionaries in his district. He will also interview baptismal candidates, which requires spiritual sensitivity and maturity.


This assignment is in addition to his regular proselyting responsibilities. We have confidence in Elder Baron's abilities and know that this will give him opportunities for growth as he strengthens those he serves.  You can be proud of your son. We enjoy working with such a fine Elder in this great work.


May God's choicest blessings be with you and your family as you support your son in his missionary service in the Spain, Madrid Mission.Sincerely,


President Kevin B. Pack

Spain Madrid Mission
