Dear Family and Friends!
First
of all, I am very excited for this upcoming transfer! As some of you
already know I was transferred up to the amazing area of Stuart as a
zone leader with Elder Torres. It is really exciting because Elder
Torres and myself have been wanting to be companions for a very long
time and finally the Lord gave it to us! It is amazing up here and I am
excited to tell ya'll about the many miracles that will be happening! I
truly know that this transfer meeting was inspired directly from God and
know we will be seeing miracles here in our area and throughout the
entire zone!

This week Elder
Torres and myself went out and worked very hard in our own area as well
throughout the zone! In our area we saw many miracles and found many
people who have strong desires to come unto Christ through baptism. The
very first day we went out and got to work. We prayed for a place to go
harvest, felt inspired to go to a certain area, so we got in the car and
drove over there. When we got to the area before we got out of the car
we prayed and then started walking. The first people we saw outside we
came up to and offered to leave our Saviors peace and blessing. They
allowed us to and wanted to be baptized! Then we asked who we could go
leave this same prayer with and they sent us to their neighbor who is
sick. We left the blessing with her and she wanted to be baptized! Then
we asked her who we could leave this blessing with and she sent us to
her neighbor as well. When we met her neighbor she broke down in tears
and started talking about how badly she has been struggling with
everything. We then left a blessing with her and she accepted baptism as
well. God blessed us immensely as we were diligent immediately after
transfer meeting, and as we asked everyone for referrals!
The Zone is
doing things that have never been done before as well! Elder Torres and
myself had our Zone Training this Friday and it was able to be a huge
converting experience for the zone. We set our zone standard for at
least 90 NI every single week, which is something that has never been
done before. It was amazing to see that as the zone applied the training
and kept the fire going we were able to get 118 NI as a zone. The new
record! This will fuel us for some huge weeks ahead of baptizing and
creating Zion!
Being up here in Stuart is crazy
because we drive a lot! The Stuart Zone is huge and even our area
is incredibly big. But what was amazing was this Sunday was
Stake Conference and I was able to see some of my converts from
Wellington. It was really powerful to see how much they have progressed
and how amazing they are doing! I do know that this is the Lords work!
Well I gotta go cause we
have been working really hard and I am incredibly tired. But ya'll are
amazing keep up the work of the Lord!
With Love,
Elder Pond
