Alright, yes I got transferred
and yes as you can see from the title of this letter I am in Bago City.
It is really hard being new here because when we say that in Illongo it
goes something like this, Ako si Elder Minson, ako ang bago nga elder diri sa Bago.
Yes so this is the New City in the language! And yes it is very much
more city then Cadiz! We are only 40 minutes away from Bacolod! So
yeah... City......, we are covering a lot of
area! This is the first area to be over 2 different wards at the same
time! President usually assigns a companionship to a ward, but we have 2
wards... which makes things really difficult!
I will admit I am really sad I left Cadiz... I had
lots of baptisms lined up like literally over 12 baptisms!! So yeah I am
a bit disappointed in that... but I will live! I think the hardest
thing was leaving the people. I spent most of Tuesday
saying good bye (President discourages it, but I had to). My
investigators had lots of tears... and so did I! They miss me, but i
have gotten updates from Elder Cusili and they are now even more
converted to the gospel from my service!
When I arrived here in Bago, we went out and
taught... every investigator was confused and very few understood
anything from what the elders had previously taught... so what am I
meant to do here? Work and fix it! Haha! I see it all around here. The
members are nice but the work is little... The progress is slow by this!
I am trying really hard to build that up! So far I feel good!
Yesterday
was a good day. The past 5 days I just let my companion, Elder Vital,
lead the area and show me whats going on. He is my batch, I am still
senior companion though. He is a timid person, he has very little fight
in him! So I am a whole new world for him because I am as hard headed as
it gets! haha! So yesterday
I told him it is my turn! SO we went on splits with the members and I
led a part of the area by myself. I did as Presidents training required
and I found! I saw the potential yesterday and I am latching on that home as much as I can right now!
It has been rough and has been really hard to keep
going here... The area just has very little, but i ma trying to keep
positive and push it! I hope I can tell you more next week! I think by
next week things will be going and we should have lots of progress! I am
sorry I don't have much else to say... I am trying to get a card reader
so I can send pics soon! Sorry there is none for now! Well today is
Elder Zobells birthday and we are in the same zone so we are going to go
have lunch with him later! And then we will be playing basket as a
zone! So that is some good news! :)
Well I love you all i miss you and am so proud of
you all! Keep strong keep focused and keep being the best you can be!
Keep the shoes on and I promise you will make it through the trials of
your lives! :) I Love you all!! :)
Love,
Elder Minson
