Chivay has been interesting. Lots
of things have been going on/changed in my mission now. We haven’t
done a ton of missionary work because we’ve been mostly doing Branch
work. We’ve been worrying about seminary and whether or not the youth
are going, worrying about tithing, fast offerings, and interviews,
giving training to the Relief Society about Visiting Teaching,
planning the Branch Conference we’re going to have (who’s going to
speak, what are they going to speak about, how are we going to invite

Welcome to Chivay
Well, I had my first transfer this
week. Saturday night, my leaders called me to tell me that I had been

my first area, I assume I’ll be getting transfered. It’s been good and

This week we found a bunch of new investigators, and we’re going Continue reading
General Conference

to listen to the living prophets, seers, and revelators that are here on
the Earth. I learned a lot from their teachings and about what I need to do
to prepare myself for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
The work is going like normal here in Hunter. We have transfers in a couple
weeks, and I will probably be leaving my first area, having my first
transfer. I’ve been here for 7 1/2 months already. We have a goal to
baptize 5 people here in April, but I probably Continue reading
