Hello everybody! News of visits to LA make me jealous, but
I´m quite enjoying myself here (the weather is great!)!
So this week has been super hectic for us, but I´ll start
right in on the main parts of the week.
So after transfers, I stayed with Elder Farias, from Rio
Grande do Sul. We talked a lot about soccer, and we spent most of Monday and Tuesday
in Novo Aldeota (Papicu). Tuesday night, we headed over to the Mission Office
to pick up our new companions. We had to wait at the secretaries´ house for a
while, and about 7:30 we headed over to the mission office. There were 26
missionaries... 15 elders and 11 sisters. A LOT of people. So I got my new
companion, Elder Curl from Lehi, Utah. He isn´t from the new age group, but he
came out before going to college (he headed out in December) and he spent one
transfer in LA waiting for his visa to come in. So we headed off back home, and
we slept almost instantly... we got back at about 9:30 and it had been a hectic
day for us both!
Wednesday, we hit the ground running and started off with
our study and training program. But the highlights of the week were three
references we received.
Lucas has been going to seminary a lot, and is decided that
he will be baptized. So we taught about the restoration and Book of Mormon and
he really liked it. The best part was that we taught everything in a member´s
home, so that really helps us. The only problem with him was that he lives in
another ward than the member lives in, but he accepted to start coming to the
other ward in order to be baptized.
Jonaton also has been going to seminary, but we hadn´t
actually gotten to know him yet. Saturday, we were able to teach him and his
mother. They were both very interested, and we talked about the Book of Mormon
with them. We marked Jonaton's baptism for this week, and we will try to bring
his mother with him.
Moisés was the last one, who was a reference of Ronald. He
is a co-worker of his, but he doesn´t go to any church, because he doesn´t feel
they are right, but Ronald has been preparing him, sending text messages of
scriptures of the Book of Mormon to him. So we taught him about the Restoration
and he felt it to be true and something that would really help him follow
Christ. Unfortunately, he had to work on Sunday and couldn´t come to stake
conference.
Stake conference was pretty full, but we couldn´t really
hear a lot because the sound system was kinda bad.
Well, that was my busy busy week!
Love, Elder Cornwell
P.S. Sorry if it´s short, but I am crushed for time again!

Allison's note:
Here are some pictures Kyle sent today...but, as usual, he doesn't mention them so I don't know who or where they are.
