Elder Benjamin Michael Conover Mission Blog : Week 81: The New Area

Hey Guys!

Crazy week, and we had a ton of stuff to do.

First off, on Monday, in the afternoon, I got to go around and say goodbye to all of the investigators and the members in Tunuyán.

First, I got to go by the Moltó´s house, and it was so special. They complimented me and thank me for the work. I didnt mention this in the email last week, but while we were in church my last week in Tunuyán, the branch President, Presidente Vera, stood up in Priesthood meeting, and thanked me and told me how much my work in Tunuyán has meant to everyone. When we went to the Moltó´s house, Hermano Moltó told me that President Vera has been branch President three times, and never in his life has he done that for a missionary. It made me cry.

I then said goodbye to Eugenio. He is such an amazing kid. I thanked him for allowing me to see miracles in his house, and for being such a good person, but then he stopped me, and thanked me for giving him the Book of Mormon, and giving him so much peace. It felt like my heart was going to burst.

We also got to say goodbye to the Familia Pinto, the family of the Ward Mission Leader, Pablo. While Pablo was in another room, his Mom was with us, and she told me all the nice things that Pablo said about the work that we were able to do together.

As I left Tunuyán I was so grateful for the opportunity to serve there. It was by far my favorite area, and the Lord blessed us so much.

Anyways, I got transfered! I am here in Maipú again, and I am with Elder Véjar, from Concepción, Chile!

I am in an area called Gutiérrez, Maipú. It is a strong ward, and the members seem awesome, so I am super excited for that! Unfortunately, we dont really have any investigators, but hey, when it comes to that, this ain´t my first rodeo, so we are just gonna put that shoulder to the wheel, and push really really hard.

This week I got to take part in my first mission Counsel with all the Zone Leaders and President and what not. It was a wonderful experience, and I am excited to be able to work with all of them!

Thank you all for all of your love and support! I know that the church is true, and that the Lord lives and loves us!

Con Cariño,

Elder Conover
