Dear family and friends,
How are you all doing? Good good good. Well life for me is about to get more busy. We had our monthly meeting in Málaga Monday and Tuesday (Sorry for not telling you beforehand) and we had companionship interviews. President Clegg asked how the area was going and we were talking about how were busy teaching 20 lessons a week and that the zone was doing really well. Then he asked us if we were busy. We said "yes" and then he asked us if we wanted to be even more busy. I said "yes I'd like to have more baptisms" and my companion said "what does that mean? Haha then President said "I'd like both of you to train". Wasn't expecting that! Both of us are receiving new elders on Thursday to train while we are still zone leaders. So in other words we aren't companions anymore but we are still zone leaders together and we still live in the same apartment. There are going to be 4 elders in San Fernando now! He told us that we have a lot of new missionaries coming into the mission but he wasn't going to open up any new areas because we have 16 elders leaving in April. We don't have much of a net gain so he is just putting more elders where there is a lot of work right now. Thankfully San Fernando is one of those areas. We've been really busy but we are going to be even busier. I have kind of mixed emotions about it though because that means I will have to leave one of the wards since we will have a companionship for each ward now. I'll still see the other ward on Sundays though so thats good. I still don't know which one will be mine. I'm excited to train again though. The last elder I trained said he doesn't want a brother haha. But yeah, that was the big news for the week. We have a lot of preparing to do to receive two new elders. We have to split up the area book and just make the apartment suitable for 4 elders. Today will be busy. We also got some bad news this week. Isabel called me when I was in Málaga and broke my heart again. She said she was sorry for confusing us so much and going back and forth between us and the Catholic church but she has decided to stay with the Catholic church. I don't know why but we aren't going to give up on her. I know she has felt something. Patricio is doing really well so thats good. Also on Sunday a member from Valencia came to church and she brought her non member husband who is interested. We'll get started up with him soon. Well everybody, I know the church is true. I know hard times are permitted in our lives so we can be stretched and strengthened. Everything is made right through the atonement. I love you all tons and I'll talk to you on Monday. Have a super dee duper week. Adios
Love, Elder Langston
