Famlee!
Transfers. I
unfortunately did not stay in Ponta Delgada for the last transfer of my
mission. I was hoping to stay in the Azores for my last six weeks.
Fortunately, I did =)
I did get transferred
from Ponta Delgada, but I got transferred to my very first area of the mission:
Angra do Heroismo! Yes, also in the Azores, on the island of Terceira. I am so
stoked!
What a blessing. The
Lord is so amazing. The day I left my first area, I have always wanted to go
back to end my mission there. Here I am.
Saying goodbye
yesterday and today was hard. I have such a love for the people I left behind
in Ponta Delgada, and it hurt so much to say farewell. It reminded me a lot of
leaving my very first area. The same heartache. After all, it has only been in
the Azores that I have stayed in an area for more than 2 transfers. I love the Azorean
people so much!!!!
We had two baptisms
yesterday of two daughters of a less active mother who we reactivated. It was
awesome. Their names are Erica and Diana. We had also marked 3 more people for
baptism in the coming weeks. I am leaving an area in which we had finally
gotten the ball rolling to enter into an area where things have been very slow,
but my goal for these six weeks is to leave an impression that will last long after
I'm gone. That's my hope. Only six weeks left. It is devastating, but my new
companion and I are going to make every second count. His name is also Elder
Lee by the way. That'll be weird. I can't tell ya how many times people have
gotten confused about the Elder thing, and now... hahaha
We are going to have
to do all sorts of things to be effective here in the area. I know the area
very well, it is pretty small and everybody knows the missionaries and elders,
and there are a lot of negative things said. However, we will be creative. We
will find, teach, and with faith, baptize!
Well, I need to go;
time was short today on account of travels.
Love you all!
Elder Lee

that looks like me and my new comp on Terceira is in fact me and my new comp on
Terceira. Hahaha
