So.... I just met the new president. He seems like a good man. He is a little
serious but he is very cool. Also I received a call yesterday from him. He
called me to say I'm going to be a district leader and that I will be going to
Orizaba. It's the zone that is the coldest in the mission. What I've heard is its
super nice and lots of members that are very supportive. I'm excited! Honestly
nervous to be a district leader but excited to go and learn some more.
This
week was rough..... we had a baptism planned. We got with him and hiked a 30
minute hike to a beautiful waterfall. One with 3 falls and everything was so
awesome. We got there and were all ready. I walked into the water and turned
around and he was having doubts on the shore talking to my companion. That was
like 15 minutes then finally he came in and stopped halfway between me and the
shore an had another breakdown. At which point I went to him and my
companion took his shoes and socks off rolled up his pant leg and we were
talking to him. We were literally there for 45 minutes talking and giving our testimonies. But at the end he still didn't do it.... He walked out and we went
home. VERY VERY disappointing to be honest. But he has lots of mental
problems. He has anxiety, paranoia, and who knows what else. It was just really
tough, but oh well! Hopefully next week he will be baptized.
Sorry its not a long
letter its been a busy day and I haven't had much time.
Love you guys,
Elder Hakes
