Transfers!

Hi Everyone!
This week was transfers! I moved to an area called Volcanes in the Villarica Zone. It is in the port! I called it .. I knew I was going back to the port! The area is right next to Magisterio where I was serving last year. The area is called Volcanes because the area where the chapel is all the streets are named after volcanos. We cover three different wards but they all meet in the same building. My new companion is Elder Vargas from Salt Lake City! I haven't had a companion from the states in a very long time!

with my new comp, Elder Vargas!

The area and zone are really struggling right now so we are going to try and fix that! Basically the whole zone transferred so we are all starting new! It is a big zone. We have eight areas plus the assistants and secretaries are also part of our zone.

The big news is that Elder Holland is visiting our mission on Saturday! We are all really excited. We are going to have a mission conference.

Random pictures before I transferred. A member found an abandoned baby possum and was taking care of it!

Reppin' the Y!

Have a great week!
Love, Elder Gurney

Baptism!

The most exciting news of the week is that the Gomez Ramos Family was baptized!  It was awesome!!  The dad doesn't like setting goals.  He likes to make his decisions last minute.  So on Saturday, he said that they want to get baptized the next day, Sunday.  Thankfully, we were able to throw everything together quickly and they were able to get baptized.  It was amazing!  The dad has sacrificed and changed so much to be able to join the church!

We also had mission leader council this week ... which is always a good time!  I learn a lot and get to see a lot of my missionary friends!

Have a great week!
Elder Gurney
