Lezica

Hola Todos,

Changes rolled around this week and I'm leaving Barrio 14 and going to the Lezica ward. It's pretty close to where I am now and I'll be staying in Montevideo, just in a different stake and area. My new companion will be Elder Musick, a gringo whose been out in the mission for about twice as long as I have. I wish I could say more, but as of right now that's all I know. I'm super excited to be able to learn and grow and adapt to a new area.

In the mission there's a word, eternigator, a portmanteau of the two words "Eternal" and "Investigator". It's used to refer to those investigators who have been investigating for many years but for one reason or another have not yet been baptized nor will they be baptized in the foreseeable future. The reason I bring this up is because three weeks ago an eternigator named Susana came to church. We were happy to see her, but figured she only came to see her granddaughter speak. The following week she came again, but once again we didn't think much of it. Then this last week she was standing in her porch and beckoned us over. She announced that she's made some decisions and is ready to get baptized. Further, she announced that after over 40 years of smoking she has decided to quit, cold turkey. As of this moment, she's been clean for almost an entire week. We were just like what? and then made plans to teach her and help her be baptized. The Lord prepares his people and though at times it feels so hard helping people that struggle to progress the Lord has a plan for each of us and will help us in our due time.

Anyways I've probably bored you all with grammar and a story but I love you all and I love my Savior. I pray you all may have an excellent week,

Elder Watts
