¡Hola familia y amigos!
Well, we received the transfer announcements last night and... I´m staying in Aldo Bonzi with Elder Smith! It will be great to stay here with him and in this zone of missionaries. I learn a lot and we´re starting to have some good success in finding families to teach. Last week we found a family from Paraguay. The mom had visited with and loved the missionaries 20 years ago, but never got baptized. We were looking for a referral that the famila Cruz (from whom we rent our apartment) gave us when we found her and her family. She remembered lots about José Smith and the "black book" that the missionaries had given her. We taught them the Restoration and they understood it not too bad; planned on coming to church too! Unfortunately they couldn´t make it because of other pesky schedule commitments.
Also, the two older sons of our recent convert, Roxana, are getting baptized this weekend! We´re really excited for them to be a family together in the church. The boys are named Damian and Bruno, and are capos (studs). Damian agreed to give up coffee and tea yesterday, and we really hope he sticks to it because he can´t get baptized if he drinks this week. We bought him some WordofWisdom-approved substitutes that we´re going to give him later today.
God´s grace is real.
Con amor,
Elder Blake
