Los Molinos 6 - New Companion - Trainer

Los Molinos 6 - New Companion - Trainer


I've got the biggest news of my life as a missionary about transfers this Monday....... and it's that I'm going to be a father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry about the exclamation points. *(Note: In some missions, missionaries tend refer to new training missionaries as "fathers" and the next generation, young greenie missionaries as young ones who will learn from their trainers)

But I'm super excited! I'm going to see which of the "little ones" (new missionaries) I'm picking up tomorrow from the MTC but I've heard it's possibly that he's a native Dominican so that makes me really happy. I've just been waiting my whole mission to finally train a new missionary and it's here. Praying to know how to make it the best first months for the new guy. We're gonna be working hard and I'm hoping that God gives us the inspiration we need to make a difference in the lives of a lot of people.

These last couple days have been interesting though. We didn't have any time at all in our area from Monday to Friday because Elder Guzman was in the office helping with transfers and I was running a bunch of errands and doing a different type of missionary work, you could say, by working with the office. I was super anxious to get back out and work again and honestly caught a bit of "office fever". I missed the hard work, in the street sweating buckets, tired feet, and teaching. But we're back at it again. We found a really prepared family in a Family Home Evening with some members. They're all amazingly interested and have a TON of questions - which is great for us! They came to church yesterday and they're progressing well. We're working with the bishop to find callings for the recent converts and we'll be making plans to take them all to the temple soon. It's a bit harder than it was in Santo Domingo because to get there it's a bit of a trip to get to the temple from Los Molinos. But there's no sacrifice too big to go to the house of the Lord.

I love you all. Thank you for the emails and the love every week. It really keeps us animated and always wanting to share with others so they can have the blessings we experience every day. 

Have a great Valentines Day.

Elder Graff
