Week 75 and 76

Week 76

This week on Elder Silva's mission it was amazing. First we had a farewell conference for our Mission President :(  I'm going to miss him but apply everything that I've learned from him with the new president that comes this Tuesday!

We were also in a trio and the missionary that I was with, Elder Peterson, ended his mission today so that was kinda sad. But before he left we were able to go to a museum called La Venta and it was really cool because they had all sorts of ancient artifacts.

One that is really well known is the Olmeca Head. People here say that they are the people known as the Jaredites which are mentioned in the Book of Mormon.

We also had the opportunity to baptize Juliana and her daughter Naomi who are super awesome! They are the ones that have an ice cream stand outside their house. The baptismal service was really special, we had a sister play the violin and had people sing. Julian was really happy that they were able to make this covenant with God together!

Week 76

This week on Elder Silva's mission it was pretty nerve wracking because we had transfers this week and I've been in Parrilla for a total of 8 months. Even though that's a really long time, I have come to love this place. We got the call from the offices about transfers and they said that I wasn't being transferred   :O 

I was relieved because we have a lot of people that we are teaching and are preparing for baptism and I want to keep helping these people. I know that I still have a lot of work left here in Parrilla and I am going to do all that I can to keep helping the people here.

My hijo and I are training so that we can complete all the things that my heavenly father wants me to do. We met our new mission President Haws and Sister Haws and they are really excited to be here in the Villahermosa Mission. One of the things that I liked about the new president was that at his welcoming he said ¨I don't want to waste a lot of your time so I am going to talk really quick so you guys could go out and work in the lords Vineyard.¨ That surprised a lot of us because we thought it was going to be special conference but we were wrong lol
