Departures, Teary Eyes

                                                                                                     November 27, 2017
Hello Family,
 
Today we had transfers! I will miss Elder Sierra as he heads home after 2 great years of selfless service. This week was a sweet end to the transfer!
 
 
 
Saturday night Franco was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! He was really excited and it was special to watch his uncle baptize and confirm him!

He was baptized along with three other converts in our District so it was a great baptismal service to witness.

Don't worry, we are not real gangsters!!















This week we were blessed to be able to find a lot of great people to teach! Also, last night when we went to visit Raquel, her sister Ana told us that she wants to get baptized. So her baptism is scheduled for December 16th! We also found a really prepared couple, Ariel and Angie, on our exchanges this week. They both want to get baptized and aren't married yet, but they have a date for the December 23rd so please pray that they can get married and attend church next week! They couldn't go yesterday because Angie sprained her ankle which was a bummer.
My new companion is Elder Matheson from Cedar City, Utah, He is a really humble guy and a really talented musician so don't be surprised if next Monday I know how to play the violin. I am excited for another great transfer in Lucero. It is the best Ward and the members do so much to move the work forward!
I hope everyone has had the chance to watch the Light the World video. There is no better time than Christmas to remember the Savior of the world and do our best to live as He did!
1 - Our zone activity Monday was a marshmallow gun capture the flag out in nature (how neat is that)
 
2 - Olga made an amazing goodbye lunch. (This was pretty much our Thanksgiving)
 
3 - The five of us that came together were finally reunited this week at Zone Conference!
 
4 - Elder Sierra and me with Oliver
                                        
5- Elder Sierra's final departure. He's got his bag of peanuts and he's ready to fly...
         

Love you all!

Elder Harris
