June 10, 2019 Gesco (Week 2)

Hey Family,

I had a great week!!!! I’m right on track to achieve the goals we’ve set for ourselves! I’ve really been seeing just the personal revelation that comes from personal study it has been so strengthening for me!!!! The secteur is slowly moving a long. We have this family we’ve been teaching that they are just so convinced of the truthfulness of our message they read the Book of Mormon and they came to church for their first time this last week so it was super great!! We also had like 3 new investigators come so it was like 7 investigators at church it was great given I’ve been sick since Thursday with symptoms of Malaria, so keep me in your prayers hahaha We did splits Thursday and that morning I just woke up feeling crummy and then Friday it was just worse like I had a fever so I just took some meds and slept the whole day and then, saturday morning same thing but I got to strength to go to the baptismal service the afternoon and then we went to and activity for one of the wards in the zone so it was super good. Sunday I felt way better we went to the coolest part of our secteur it’s a total village I had no idea cuz we are just right in the city and then you just go out a little ways and it’s just village its sooooo dope!!! The members there are sooo humble and awesome too!!!! I’m so in love with this secteur hahaha!! We have been trying to really visit the members a lot to motivate them to give us investigators! I will see at least 125-140 assistance by the end so easy!!!!! I just feel like this secteur is going to be so great there is so much work here to do!!! I pray I will have enough time to get it to were the Lord needs it to be! I know He will give me the strength as He gave to Nephi!!!! I’ve already been seeing the spirit guide me in this secteur. It is the first time I’ve really prayed to have the Lord help guide me to really get to know this secteur well and fast so that I can do the work He needs me to in the little time that I have left. It has just been amazing to see the blessings of the Lord continue to pour upon us!!!!! I’m really missing my comp now! I’ve had to cook a lot more in this secteur since the comp I have doesn’t know how to cook! I’ve just realized Elder Mitua my last comp was such a blessing for me in so many ways and it totally prepared me for this secteur!!!!! I’m so glad you guys are all having such a good experience with Come Follow Me. That should be number one focus for everyone in the family!!! If you continue to focus on that you guys will see the blessings!!! Everyone has to to it!!! You’ll see the change and the strength the Lord will give you guys during this difficult time with Ben leaving you guys got to really make the time everyone in the family for personal and family study!!! The Come Follow Me is sooooooo amazing! We have been doing the 3rd hr with families every Sunday since I’ve been here and it has been so awesome!!! I haven’t really studied much that manuel but man it is so awesome!!!!! Our prophet is so inspired!!! but yeah I just love you sooooo stinking much!!!!!! Can’t believe I’m almost at the finish line!!! During our leadership council Tuesday at the very end president showed us a video of a marathon and we just used that to compare it to a mission and it was just sooo cool to see how all the connections I have made personally to running and the mission that then the assistants and president talked about the same thing it was so cool! The spirit just whispered to me “it’s time to kick” just like I felt during my cross country races!!!! I’m at the sprint and there is no lookin back!!!!! Finish line here I come!!!!!!! Love you soo much!!! Have a great week!!!!

Love you,

Elder LeBaron
