I spent six weeks in Campamento and got thrown all the way across the country to Otoro. Now I have only spent six weeks in Otoro, and received a change again. When I showed up the Elder there had really nothing going. In Otoro I had two families, one married, and got the area ready for a whole load of success and baptisms. While my comp slept and cooked. I studied, made calls, and organized everything to maximum level of efficiency to be successful out there in Otoro. I worked myself to death preparing to get the area baptized. I helped raise the ward attendance to a record high, and was just doing work. So I was hit hard when I was asked to leave, and go to a companion that many have said I would need to "be very patient and careful". So basically now I'm here, back in the city. My new area is Monterrey and it's in an area called Toncontin. I was excited to come to this zone because they have been baptizing like crazy! So that is what I focused myself in on. Sure I was leaving three families to baptize, but I was sure this new area would have at least one person I could finally get to the water... God has other plans.
Again I have shown up to an area wanting to say "what have you been doing the past six weeks!!!?" And at least my last comp who was responsible for the last wreck just let me take over and fix it all... However this is going to be different...
Oh, and about the baptisms? There are four people super positive for baptism, that only have to be taught... well funny story. Last night I found out while going on divisions with another member of the bishopric that where these people live is not our area, and its not even our ward.
So in less then 5 days I am in for it... I am struggling at the moment. I guess God knows I can do it. I am just practicing the skills that I have been learning on the mission. Focus on the good, and smile! I am back in the city! and I may one day actually get the chance to baptize again.
Lots of love, Elder Morris
