Well this week has been pretty good!! We got to
work in our area all week so that was good to see some success again!! It's
just tough because we are hardly in our area so we don't get to have many
lessons. But it is awesome because we are having tons of success in our ward.
We have 4 missionaries in our ward and we have a pretty good routine!!
When Elder Morales and I are in our Area we just try and find as many people as
we can...then when we have to travel, the other missionaries come and teach our
investigators. We have 3 baptisms tonight so we are super excited about that!!
This last week we had divisions with a few of
the zone leaders. On Monday I worked with one of the zone leaders in Morelia
and then on Wednesday I went and worked with one of the zone leaders in
Aeropuerto. It went well and I learned a lot. Hopefully I helped them learn
some stuff too! I still feel kind of intimidated because I've only
been out 10 months and I feel like all the zone leaders judge me!! But it's fun
and I am working as hard as I can. It is definately a humbling experience.
We just found out the transfers 10 minutes ago.
We have transfers on Monday and we had a bunch of changes this transfer. It is
pretty cool to see what everyone is doing in the mission and where all my
friends are going. We are going to send the email out to the zone leaders in an
hour so that they can tell their zones tomorrow who is going where!
Tomorrow morning we are traveling to
Guadalajara to help with transfers. We have to take the gmissionaries going
home to the airport and then also welcome in the new kids. I am super exited
because its going to be tons of work but it will for sure be fun!! It is going
to be a long day though!! We have to take the missionaries to the airport at 4
in the morning and then we have to be back at the aiport to welcome in the new
missionaries at like 3 pm. So we are going to have lots to do! Elder Castro (my
companion 2 transfers ago) is going home Monday. Its crazy how fast time goes
by!!
Today we just moved into our new house. We were
living with 2 other missionaries in their house and it was super fun but sister
missionaries are going to be living there on Monday so we had to move
today. Our house has NOTHING!!! All we have is running water and a tile floor. We
dont have a fridge, a stove, a microwave...or anything hahaha!! So we will most
likely be living the rough life for a few weeks.
Well I am doing great and absolutely loving the
mission!! The weeks are flying by because there is always so much to do!! I
feel stressed out but at the same time so blessed to be where I am at right
now. There are always struggles and trials and that's a given no matter where
you are. It's not important what kind of trials you have in your life- the
important thing is learning how to overcome them. I love you all and I hope
everything is going great!!
Love,
Elder Mike Payne
