First of all, thanks to a few more last-minute miracles, we reached the record of 262 baptisms with 23 families. Mision Reu está brillando!
After almost 6 months, I´ve been transferred out of the office. My new area is called La Maquina and my new zone is Mazatenango Lincoln. I love my new area. Its another coastal area, so the weather is really hot! Its also super dusty and dirty everywhere so we always get home with yellow shirts. It feels so nice to be working the field again.
My new companions are Elder Bonilla and President Rodriguez. The big news is that President Rodriguez is training me to become the new branch president of La Máquina. I was speechless when Presidente Ruiz explained to me that I was going to be receiving this new assignment. I was honestly a little worried about what kind of responsibilities I was going to have to take on, especially since I felt a little burnt out by the office. However, I´ve been blessed with awesome companions. Elder Bonilla is a funny guy, but very humble and kind. Elder Rodriguez is also a great guy, and hard worker. He´s been very helpful with my transition from the office to the field.
My assignment in this new position is to try to find a branch president for a potential branch that the mission may open in a place called Tahuexco. Tahuexco is right on the shore of the Pacific Ocean. I got to go there last Friday with Presidente Rodriguez. We went and visited some members and some recent converts there. It seems like everyone there would really like to be able to have a branch there, since it is so far away from La Máquina (1-2 hours away). Most of them don´t go to church right now because there are no buses.
So yeah, this week has mostly just conisisted of me getting to know the members of the branch and getting to know my area. It´s a little confusing sometimes but I think i´ll get the hang of it. Sorry that there are no photos this week, the computer i´m using won´t read my SD Card so i´ll have to send them next week.
Hope you all have a great week!
Elder Taylor
