Called to serve our King!

Haha so our area has got almost nothing. I get here and all we have done is contacted and talked to less actives. We have practically no investigators. What were the Elders before doing here? Quien sabe but we´re gonna step it up.

My companion Elder A is on his second to last transfer, which means he has got 11 weeks left in the mission, so we set a goal and we have been trying hard to hit it - he will have a baptism every Saturday of his last transfer. So we have five weeks to prepare the area and find the six people (if not more) who are ready and waiting to hear about Christ. 6 baptisms in the next transfer is definitely doable if we just put in the time. Durango is HUMONGOUS and there are a lot of members, the sad thing is 7 out of every ten members here are less active. 7 out of 10.... So apart from hitting our goals for baptism we have a ton of work to do in finding and bringing literally hundreds of people in our area back to the church. Less actives are some of the hardest investigators too, because they think they already know everything about the church. But we´ve got this.

We also had stake conference with a seventy this weekend. Elder Mendoza came and talked to everyone about the responsibility that every member of the church has in supporting the missionary effort in the area. There were five sessions in this conference and in literally every one he grilled us on 'every member a missionary´. So were expecting some good results and a lot more help from our ward for at least the next couple weeks. To finish it off he had us all stand up and sing called to serve, there were about 350 members and 25ish missionaries in the building, so it was pretty intense. 

And yeah that's about it for this week. Support the mission effort in your ward!
