Hey everyone
Dont have too much to say. We chugged a long this week, but just had some tough times finding success. We had planned a baptism, but it looks like we will hope for this Sunday.
I was surprised how well our turn out was for District Priesthood session. We had 12 in total, including us. It was a pretty fun experience going all the way to Chavez, about a 2 hour and 15 minute drive. We used Jorge and his ambulance to get us there, and packed 9 large men into the back, while 3 sat in front. The meeting was really good. We got to listen to the District President, a Branch President, an ex missionary and an Area 70. The theme was lifting up those who have fallen along the way. I really liked something that the return missionary said. He said “Weve started this work and theres no turning back. We cant because we know the consequences.” Its so true. We know our responsabilities and we know what God requires. We didnt choose this church because it was easy. We chose it because its the only path to return back to our Heavenly Father.
Everyone have a great week. Ill try to work extra hard so i can give you all a good story next week.
Love you all
Con amor, Elder Turley
