Over Target - Sobre Pasado la Meta

Elder Read says they are all fine!  He's getting on well with his companion and they are good friends.  Not only that but they had a goal in the Mission to find 555 investigators in the week and they found.....................558.  And Elder Read and Elder Hampel found five of them.

It was a really high goal and they had to work really hard to achieve it.  On Sunday night they were working until 22.45 and had to run to the flat to get back in time!  And they got back all hot and sticky so they had to have a shower.  But it was worth it!  They found much by the way of miracles.  One, a lady who was very well prepared, they found in the street.  An ambulance had just taken her son, who had psychiatric problems, to hospital so they shared some of the plan of salvation with her.  and she loved it!!!  They gave her a Book of Mormon, and at the end of their talk with her she was crying.  She really was in need of the gospel in her life at that time!  And much more besides.

On Monday of last week the whole District went to the highest hill in Cartagena.  Elder Read had already been up it three times so he knows it pretty well.  When they reached the top most of the group were rather tired but, at 16:00, they had a prayer together.  Above Cartagena they asked Our Father in Heaven to help them achieve their goal for that week.  And it worked!!  He believes the District found more than 20 new investigators last week.

Entonces el lunes pasado llevé a todo el Distrito al monte mas alto de Cartagena. He subido como 3 veces ya, entonces lo conozco bastante bien. Cuando llegamos arriba, muchos de nosotros estuvimos muy cansados. Pero a las 16:00, nos juntamos hicimos una oración. Encima de Cartagena pedimos a nuestro padre celestial ayuda para conseguir nuestra meta esta semana. Funcionó. Creo que como distrito conseguimos mas de 20 nuevos esta semana. ya solo hay que poner fechas ha cada uno

Elder Read dice:

Nosotros estamos bien. Me llevo bien con mi compañero, somos muy buenos amigos :) Ésta semana tuvimos una meta muy alta para la misión. Encontrar 555 nuevo investigadores. Y conseguimos............... 558 :D Mi compañero y yo encontramos 5 :) Era una meta muy alta y nos esforzamos tanto por conseguirla. 

Ayer estuvimos trabajando hasta las 22:45. Tuvimos que correr hasta el piso para no llegar tarde. Llegamos super sudados y tuvimos que ducharnos sí o sí. Encontramos por mucho por medio de milagros. Una, una mujer que estaba muy preparada, la contactamos por la calle, la ambulancia acabó a llevar su hijo al hospital que tiene problemas psiquiátricas. Compartimos con ella un poco del plan de salvación y le encanto. Le regalamos un Libro de Mormón, al final de la charlita ella estaba llorando. Realmente necesitaba el evangelio en su vida en ese momento. Y muchos mas también. 

Well, all the District climbed the hill except Elder Rodriguez and his companion.  This Elder Rodriguez, who appears in several photos with Elder Read, was his companion at the MTC and they're serving in the same district, which means that Elder Read is Elder Rodriguez' district Leader.  They had an exchange together this week and he  says Elder Rodriguez is his best friend. 

Bueno. casi todo el distrito, menos Élder Rodríguez y su compañero subieron al monte. Élder Rodríguez es mi compañero del CCM :) Y ya estamos en el mismo distrito :D Tuvimos un intercambio esta semana juntos :) Es mi mejor amigo. 

Haciendo compras , un intercambio de Elder Tenney mi Líder de Zona. Tuvimos el mismo entrenador, o sea es mi Hermano en la misión - Elder Wright :D Y tiene coche (Carro) 

Doing the shopping - above.

On an exchange with Elder Tenney who is his Zone Leader - and he's got a car!  Elder Read describes him as his brother in the mission as they had the same trainer - Elder Wright.
