Day 272

¡Hola Familia!
no hay una grabación esta semana pero capaz la próxima. ¡este es el principio de un traslado nuevo!
i have received a new assignment. i have been called to serve as the new district leader here in zapala. things are going awesome and i am going to stay here with my companion, elder ruano. elder taylor is going to rawson and is going to be opening a new area. he is a really awesome missionary and i am grateful for the chance that i had to be with him this last transfer. elder payllalef is going home to neuquen and we are going to miss those guys a lot. i am really excited to start as district leader but i can feel the extra responsibility already. it´s going to go well and i have been watching my companions serve as leaders since the beginning.
the pictures looked awesome. the kitchen is looking great and dad received quite the battle scar. you are going to have to come up with a cooler story though :) there were 3 baptisms on saturday. i didn´t get to baptize the woman from barrio centro, but i did direct one of the baptisms and played the piano for the other 2. it went very well and it would have been better if we planned a bit better and had the baptisms all at one time but the schedules were a little difficult. elder ruano and i are going to have another baptism on saturday but we found out that the girl actually has 8 years and not 9. oh well. i guess we still have to plan the baptism but it won´t be difficult and now pte lopez is just going to do the interview. hna sosa is leaving the district to serve in esquel in the mountains (cerca de Bariloche), and we are receiving a new hermana to be the companion of hna gonzalez. i am sending a foto de my old district with my zonies, elder pedersen and magnone (from left to right). next to me is hna cruz, gonzalez, sosa is the pink, loo is on the ground. my comp is on the far left, elder ruano, hno payllalef, then elder taylor. that was kind of a scattered description but, oh well... i´m excited to pick up our new hermana in a few hours!
now i have to go because things are getting a little chaotic with time but i promise next week i will write more! i love you guys a lot.
i read 2 nefi 11 4-6 and i loved reading how nefi felt. i feel the same way and i am pumped to lead an awesome district in Zapala!
