TRAININGS AND A WEDDING

Aug. 2, 2017

Dear Family,

This sector's pretty cool. The ward is really big, which is nice because there's good support, but also a bit tough because they all want visits and we don't always have time. Being a district leader is pretty cool. We've been doing activities with the District like doing contacts together in one of the sectors and a district breakfast. We actually should be having a baptism next week. I think I had mentioned him last week; his name is Alexander. He's the soon-to-be husband of a member and has been receiving the missionaries for a little while but hasn't been able to get baptized yet since he's not married. This Saturday he's getting married so next week's he's getting baptized! 

Also, another cool story! In my first area, Las Americas, Elder Sims and I found this one girl who was a friend of a recent convert and she invited her (Judith) to some lessons. She ended up liking the Church and went a couple times, but we lost contact with her. However, out of the blue, I hear that she's getting baptized! I heard it was going to be this Saturday, but I also heard it wasn't so I gotta see. But that's pretty cool!
Little word on Nedine or the Haitians. I know the one that was getting baptized still has a date and it's for this month. 

Things have been really just a bit crazy as of recent. We've had a lot to do and very little time. My companion and I are doing better together, but it's just a bit tough because I feel a bit like I'm always walking around on egg shells.

I don't know what else to say. Being district leader is really a lot of the new stuff because we focus a lot on missionaries and how to help them adjust better to the mission and how to help the companionships work better.

This next week I'm going to try to have more things to write about! Have a great week everyone!
-Elder Sierra
