Later Happy Hanford!

Hey everybody!

So we'll start off with transfers!  Elder Agazzani is going to be training!  WHOOOOOOOO!  I'm going to have a grandson!  He'll also be taking my place as district leader!  Ha!  So he's doing exactly what I did with him: district leader, trainer, and leading the area for the first time! Yeeeeeeeeeees!  Maybe his trainee will do the same thing and then I'll have a great grandson!  Yeah!  That'd be sweeeeet!  As for me, I'll be heading to Visalia to be a zone leader with yet another native companion also from Paraguay.  I think the Lord really wants me to learn Spanish good.  We'll be in a Spanish WARD. That's right complete with an obispo (bishop) and everything.  It's going to be so weird and so awesome at the same time to actually have a ward to work with!  I'm really looking forward to it!

Well enough about transfers!  We had another successful week this week!  Especially as a district!  We made the goal on Monday that we'd hit 100 lessons as a district together this week because we hit 92 this past week.  WE TAUGHT 106 QUALITY LESSONS!  THAT'S RIGHT BABEE!  106!  It felt so great to hand that number over to our leaders.  They were awe-struck with the righteousness of that number.  It was awesome.  Disclaimer though:  It's not all about the numbers.  Each of those lessons were QUALITY lessons.  We didn't just teach a bunch of random bums and just count them.  So yeah.

I've started to read the New Testament now that I've completed the Book of Mormon and it is so GOOD!  Especially with the Joseph Smith translation.  Our church is so true.  Jesus really is the Christ.  Just pop open one of your scriptures and it'll testify that he is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. (You might have to dig some to find them in the Old Testament but they are there!)

Ok. Time for my follow up with yall.  When you read my last letter did you read the BOMmed part?  Have you started?  Are you coming up with an excuse right now for why you can't? There is NO reason why you cannot.  The Savior's Atonement is all about CAN.  If you are thinking up some excuse for why you can't, I invite you to first repent, then get down on your knees then ask for some help to find time or MAKE time to read the Book of Mormon and finish it within 6 months of starting! Don't cheat yourself of so many blessings!

I love you all!  Keep on  keeping on!
