Week 54 - Pacheco

This week was really crazy. We had a ton of stuff to do. On Tuesday we went to the Mutual and we got to get a bunch of references.  On Thursday we had a zone conference and Elder Velazquez and I taught a part for about 30 minutes about working better with the ward council.  After the zone conference we we found out that we are going to be in a trio for the rest of the transfer. So that's awesome.

[FAMILY NOTE: When we talked to him last week, he said that Elder Gonzalez was going to go home some time that week for personal reasons. But now is he staying. Tanner said he doesn't know why he was leaving or why he is staying.]

On Thursday night I went to do an interview with Elder Jaimes and it turns out the investigator wasn't home.  I stayed the night there with the office elders in their super-nice pension.  On Saturday we were going up the elevator in our building and all of a sudden the elevator stopped and we got stuck in there for an hour and a half.  It was super-funny.  But always we have some good investigators and I am enjoying it in Pacheco, the new area. My companions are awesome and we get along well.

[FAMILY NOTE:  That's all he wrote.  Some info from the call below]

He was transferred to Pacheco on July 9th.  His comps are Elder Valezquez from Mexico and Elder Gonzalez from Chile. Tanner and Elder Valezquez are the zone Leaders.  They have 11 companionships in their zone, 8 of elders and 3 of sisters.  The mission home and office are in the boundaries of their zone, so the AP and the office missionaries, and the nurse and her comp are in his zone.  He says he likes it OK, but he doesn't like that it takes up so much time away from his studying time.  He says part of his ward is super rich and part is super poor, but that it is a really good ward. He says a lot of the members are from Paraguay and Bolivia.

He also got a new mission president the beginning of July.  Their names are Leopoldo and Gabriela Zuniga.  They are from southern Argentina and are fairly young.  They have some of their children with them.  Tanner says he seems nice and that he teaches pure doctrine.
