Super Busy & Loving It!

Well this week was really good!! we had to send home 5 missionaries that ended their mission but we got 6 great new missionaries to come and start their mission here! we are super excited for them and excited to see what happens in this next transfer! We are starting with the conferences so that is going to be fun, we are headed first to Esquel and then making our way back to the north. We are super excited to see what we can do in this month of May! Not much to say, its been a super busy few weeks but things are going great! love you all!

Transfers!

Hey Family!!

Well it is transfers week again so my pday is today instead of monday. All is going well!!! .... So i am staying here for a 7th transfer! hahah things are going well and we are super excited. This weekend we have quite a few baptisms planned in the mission, and if they all get confirmed then we will have more baptisms in one month than we ever have had, and by a long way! we are super excited for that because we can see that the Lord really is advancing His work and we are able to see more of our brothers and sisters making covenants with Him :) Things are great, im excited for another transfer here to be able to do what i can to help the Lord in this great work. All is well!!!

Love,

Elder Stuart

ps. Pablo and Claudia are doing super good!!! They are amazing :)

Mom Note: Here is a little excerpt Ryan wrote to me:

I'm super excited to stay for another one (transfer). The mission is going great and it is making me stretch myself everyday. I learn so much with President and it is such a great experience to be here with him. I wont lie, it gets stressful sometimes with all the responsibility and tyring. but it is all worth it. It gives me a bigger chance to serve my Lord and have a bigger influence in his work. and I love that ☺   I doubt I will finish here, but I didnt think I would stay this transfer so you never know! I'm super excited and happy mom ☺   We are baptizing in our area, the mission is baptizing. It took a big trial of faith, and going through the refiners fire these past few months, but it has made me into who I need to be and I am greatful every day for that. I am seeing so many blessings and miracles and I love it.

A Spirit-Filled Week!

Hola Familia!!!

This week was super great!!!! Claudia got baptized! She was so prepared and it was amazing to see her baptism :) It is so amazing to see how the gospel really can bring families together and now they have the chance of being together for ever! It was so cool because when she came out of the water she couldnt stop smiling. it was such a gratifying feeling to know that this matrimony now is in the path of the one and only true gospel :) i know that through baptism we can become clean from all of our past mistakes and that it is the way that Christ showed us to do, just like we learn from 2 Nephi 31 If we was perfect and was baptized how much more do we have to be baptized being sinners. He put the example for us and now invites us to follow him. It was an amazing week full of the spirit :)

Have a great week!

Elder Stuart :)
