Hola Everyone!
Well sorry, this is going to be a really short letter today.
I was transferred and I just got to my
new area. My new Area is in the North West corner of Pachuca and is called “Palmar.”
It is tiny and it is known as a really hard area. They really don’t see many baptisms
here. Hopefully my new Companion and I can change that.
So, you’re not going to believe this, but my new Companion
is Elder Perez. Yep! He has the same name as my last companion. Pretty funny
huh?! He is from Chiapas Mexico. I’m excited
to get to know him as we plan to continue to work hard. He is still a greenie, he’s
only 3 months in the mission and so I’m like his “mom” as they say in the
mission. That just means that I’m helping him get a little more acquainted with
the mission.
As part of getting my transfer today, I got the following letter
from my Mission President:
Elder
Fawcett,
Congrats
on your last baptism and especially since you got to baptize him. Always a
little more special. Now with your new transfer, I expect you to learn and lead
your new area. You have a very good but very young companion. I will be
watching you for the next 5 weeks as you lead your area and I know you will do
well. Your companion is very capable so you can push him. Don’t hold back. Make
the most of every day.
President
Kimball
So, I don’t know what to make of that but I guess I will
work my hardest and just wait and see!
Both me and my last companion were transferred out of Tulancingo
as they decided to close the area back up to missionaries. We worked pretty hard during the week but one
story I want to share with you from the week there was that on Wednesday, we
were our proselyting and were riding our bikes along the side of the road like
we normally do. Some cars came racing
towards us and one of them had a long radio antenna on it. As they raced by us, I suddenly felt a sting
pain on my face but pretty much ignored it until we got to our
destination. After we got there, my Companion
looked at me and said that I had cuts on my face. As you will see in the pictures, the long
antenna from the car must have hit me but luckily, I was being watched over because
it just barely missed my eye. If you look at the pictures you will see how
close it came and how it could have taken out my eyes!
I love serving the Lord in Mexico and I an excited for the
new challenge of serving with a relatively new Elder. I hope you all have a great week!
Love
Elder Fawcett
