Transfers

My new companion's name is Elder Bryant. He came to Puerto Rico at the same time as I did and he's from Las Vegas, so we've got a pretty young companionship. We've only been together since Wednesday but things have been going well. We've been out on the bikes a lot more and having a lot of fun. I'm excited for this companionship. On the first or second night we had together, we were out contacting at about 8:30, just until 9 when it was time to go home. between 8:30 and 9 we found three people who were all really interested. We gave the Book of Mormon to two of them and since then we've followed up and they've both started to read. So we've got some good investigators coming.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this earlier but we had investigators that Elder Visker and I found and worked with for a long time named Edgardo and Givendolee. Anyway, they moved to Humacao and we didn't really have a way of contacting them. We weren't sure where they moved and they don't have a phone. Anyway they called us one day and told us their address and we sent the Humacao elders over there. They found them and they've been teaching them. They have a wedding/baptism planned for the 19th of May. It's really exciting that they'll be baptized. We were really worried that they'd get lost, or that it wouldn't work to change missionaries, but in Humacao their situation is a lot more stable and they've been able to progress really well. and, Humacao is close, in our district so I'll be able to see them get married and baptized! We worked a lot with them, they always wanted to learn but it was so hard to meet with them, so it's exciting to see them in a better situation now.

Well, everything is going really well. It's starting to get really hot, but Juncos is in one of the colder areas of Puerto Rico, so I'm lucky. Anyway, I'll talk to you later,

Elder Duclos
