Jordan’s Recording
January 8, 2018
Hello family. So this week has been pretty
good. Passed new years and everything was fine.
My birthday as well. Birthday was
crazy. The lady that cooks for us, she’s
always talking to us and she was talking about my birthday and she was like what do you want to eat for your
birthday and I’m like, well _______ and that’s like a tortilla with cheese in
the middle and everything and salsa on top so it was really good. So it was good. It was fun. And she was like, we want to have
this big big party for you and I’m like “ O Boy!” So we show up to this house and
we go in and they’ve heard about me talking about Batman and they’ve’ seen the
photos so they’re like, “We’re going to have a Batman Themed party. So I’m like, Oh Boy. Here we go.
So we go in and they have Batman masks everywhere, and they have
balloons and a Batman piñata. It was
pretty funny. To be honest, those people
are pretty awesome and the cook that we have
and the other person was Simon’s mom (the kid that we baptized) So it was good to see them. They really helped and they have supported us
well, so it was really nice.
Besides all that. That was pretty crazy. For investigators that we’ve been teaching, ,
we have been focusing a lot in our second area.
That’s next to us here and it’s pretty interesting to see what we can
work with over there. We have a ward
mission leader and a Bishop in the ward here but the Bishop over there, he’s
just an animal for missionary work. He
just goes around and just he does what he can do, like he just goes out and he does everything. It’s really cool and really awesome that he
can do that. It’s really cool that he
has that motivation and that desire to go out and do missionary work and find
people and teach people and help them out in coming into the church. .Our ward
mission leader, as well he’s a pretty _____ guy. We met up with him last night and we were
talking with him and we’re like so is there a time that we can meet with you
and he’s like ya, just come at this time.
But this is what I wan’na do. I
want to have a meeting and go out and have a visit with all the members of the
ward council just to see what’s going on and like what we can do for them and
everything else, It was neat to see that
he was kind of direct about it and he said just what we need to so. And we said, that is what we need to do and
what we need to say to people, and get to know everyone and he was like, “Ya
that sounds great.” So we are going to see what we can do this coming week.
Well, my comp. I got changes. Yah. After six months I’m now
leaving Santa Marta and I’ve been upgraded to a Zone Leader. Promoted to a Zone Leader. (chuckle) Pretty crazy.
I know, right? You know, going
through a mission, I never thought I`d, I didn`t see myself as a leader (to be
honest) I don’t know if it was I
couldn’t speak Spanish, I don’t know if it was because I was shy and I didn`t
talk to anyone. But now I`m just like,
``WOW!! I`m a Zone leader. I`m in charge of a bunch of missionaries.
(Chuckle) But, it`s not too big. Actually the zone I`m in is like we`ve got
five areas, including ours. So, it’s a small zone but we are excited to see
what we can do to help all the areas out there.
It`s kind of interesting a bunch of my companions are actually in that
zone where I am. I don`t know if some of
them are staying or some of them are leaving but we`ll see what happens. So it should be interesting to say, Hey,
what`s been happening and everything else, what`s been new, what`s going on. So
it should be fun like that. Everything’s
been pretty crazy there. All the changes
in the zone were pretty crazy.
I`ll tell you a
story. So we were in the multi zone
conference and I was getting ready to leave. I was packing up my bags and everything
and Elder Bear was standing. His Mom is
the one that does Mission on the Fly and everything and we`re talking like `Hey
Man. What`s been happening? How much time you got left? We were talking,
we were just chit chatting, and I’, like “So you’re a district leader now,
right?” and he goes “Ya, you are too?”.
And I’m like, “Ya Ya, I’m a District Leader.” And I told him, I said, “Ya, You’re going to
become a zone leader this next change.
Your going to be come a Zone Leader this next change. You’re going to become a Zone Leader and
everything else. We were just joking
around like that. But I was being serious and he’s never been a Zone Leader in
the mission. And he turned and looked at
me and he goes, “ No man, I don’t think I want to be a Zone Leader.” And I said, “You know, your going to come to
the zone where I am. You’re gonna show
up here as a Zone Leader in the Regatta.
It’s kind of funny because he always follows me after I leave a
zone. Like I was in my first zone and
when I left, he showed up there. My
third zone, He showed up there when I left.
And now here he’s gonna come when I leave So it’s kind funny like that. Like we’ve never been in the same zone but
we’ve always talked to each other everywhere we went. So it’s kind of interesting to see that I’m
now a ZL, (chuckle) one of big guys in the mission (I don’t know.) I just means that I’m old, one of the old
guys in the mission and their trying to give me a leadership position before
the end of the my mission. To be honest,
I really wanted to train. As well, my
comp said he wanted to train and I was kind of hoping I was going to train too
cause training just seems to be a lot of fun.
You can take a new missionary and you can show him the ropes and you can
teach him what needs to be done. And
it’s really interesting like that, but who knows, maybe I’m not meant to train
here in the mission. (chuckle ) I was
saying that to my comp last night. I’m
like, I’m never going to be able to train.
I’m just accepting it now. I’m
never going to train here. So it should
be interesting to see what happens.
We’re going to see what we can do to help everyone progress in that
zone My comp, His name is Elder Duell,
from Idaho. I have another Greengo comp,
another white guy. So should be fun.
Should be interesting, but yah this week has been good. It was a great way to end the change. Santa Marta was great and the __________ was great. Can’t complain about these two areas that
we’ve been working in in the past six months.
Love them. Love what we’ve been
doing. It’s been really awesome to see
the progression in everyone here in these two wards. Yes, I’m very sad that I’m leaving. I very sad that I’m going to be leaving
everyone that I’ve known and that I’ve got to know but it’s for a reason that
I’m going. It’s for a reason that I have
to go to LaGusto and see what I can do
to help them. Maybe it’s to help people
in the Zone and in that area but we will
see what we can do over there and what we can do to help them.
But everything has been great.
Thanks for all the love and the support that you guys have for me.
We’ll talk to you guys next week.
Love Ya
Bye.
