Im getting
transferred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo. Time for some change and
miracles. Im headed to Zona Rio de Janeiro which means that I will not be
going to the new mission (thank goodness b/c they dont get to see the Cristo
Redentor at the end) My area is Galeão. My comp will be Elder Miño.
My guess is he is Chilean. Also, I will be the Lider de Distrito. Ive
got my plate full, and Im freaking out a little bit, but hey. Go forth
with faith right :D Im super excited for this new opportunity to learn
and grow. I wonder what my new area will look like....hmmmmmmm
Anyways, my last week
with Elder Bendoski was a blast. We had the miracle baptism of Luan to
finish off the transfer as well as his confirmation this Sunday. He is a really special kid, and
through him, his parents are working harder than ever to get their papers all
ready to marry and be baptised. Chique ne? (I will have to send
pictures this next week. We are rushing to write emails and get Elder
Bendoski to a training to be a trainer.)
We had a division the
day of the baptism and I stayed with a rapaz from the ward named Igor. He
will be a great missionary. I was able to help him learn how to make
street contacts. Once he got the hang of it, he told me he wanted to try
one on his own. There was a man sitting in a chair outside of his house.
He started it up and we all started conversing. I dont know how to
say it in a better way than -the spirit just flowed and worked through us.
The man opened up, told us of his life, and Igor began to testify of the
plan God has for us. Logo o homem començou de chorar. Igor will be
such a great missionary. Im a little sad I wont be in the area to see the
progress of that man.
It was insane how we
figured out about the transfers. We got a call at 830 last night saying
that my comp would train and I would turn LD but they wouldnt say where. That
started the rush. As we would leave early this morning, we ran to the
house of our adopted mom and told her family. After all this, another
sister of the ward heard what was happening, drove her car to where we were at
and took us to her house to eat a little and talk. We sang God be with
you till we meet Again. and she told us how special of a spirit the
missionaries have and how much my presence in the ala would be missed. As
I listened to the words she was saying, I was amazed to see how closely the
members notice what the missionaries do. It is a constant reminder of how
powerful and sacred the call is to represent the Lord.
Super sorry to make
this one short and with terrible punctuation, but next one will have a ton of
photos Im sure. Ora por mim por favor :D
Love you all.
Tchau
Elder Stinnett
