Well, while I didn´t do anything in particular on my birthday, it has been a mildly interesting week. Saturday I spent the afternoon on the roof of one of our investigators house who is getting baptized soon. He´s just waiting for his cast to come off now so that we can get his arm wet. Due to that injury, he asked us to help out with sealing his roof. Here in mexico every single house is made of bricks or cement (not including the aluminum and wood shacks). There has been a water leakage problem, so what we did was basically mix a sealant with cement and layer the roof in that to cover up any and all cracks.
There was zone conference this week as well, and also a special conference with the zone leaders because the area president came here to the mission to give some instruction. I´m going to do my best to apply it, but it has been a good week of spiritual strengthening and learning by faith.
Also, guess what happened today? I got transferred. After a week and a half in Nuevo Mexico, I´ve been transferred to the area next door with my new companion, Elder Luis. He´s from Oaxaca and also speaks Zapoteco. The big thing with the change is that I´m now senior companion. The big in-charge. Now is when, more than ever, I need to make sure I do things right, avoid bad habits, and exercise my faith and everything I know to make a difference. It was stated by Elder Johnson, the area president that there is no limit to people who are "the elect", those who will listen, change their lives, and convert to the gospel. The ONLY inhibiting factor in this mission is what the missionary is willing to do in order to find and teach these people. Time to see how strong my faith really is. It has certainly been an interesting birthday.
Also, happy fathers day!!!! I hope you enjoyed it. Keep working hard and have faith in the Lord, and he will continue to bless us abundantly (and abundance means "more than we need or can use"...in otherwords, enough to share!). Take care, and much love.
Elder Lund
