Hello Everyone,
We just completed transfers!! This transfer went
by super fast it was super crazy! I am staying in the city of Adelaide and
Elder Chen is still my companion! Elder Chen
and I were working very hard this week to help prepare some of our
Investigators for baptism in February. It was awesome to see that we are
staying in the same area and can continue to work with these investigators!

| Transfer Day |
One
of our investigators has a baptismal date in February and was debating whether
to come to church or to stay home and study for his English final exams coming
up this week! We then taught him the importance of putting God first in our
lives and then we will see the blessings pour out to us! He then came to church
the next day, so it was awesome to see him put God first in his life! It was
also a good lesson just for me in general and for everyone. We need to always
put God first in our life, even if times are tough. If we put God first he will
bless us tremendously for our faithfulness, obedience, and diligence to Him!

I
also had my first bike accident this week ha ha! I was riding my bike and while
I was standing and pedaling my pedals just stopped and my bike gears clanked
and I slid forward into the bar. I put my feet down to stop, but we were
going downhill and the momentum just kept going forward and I fell over. Nothing
too major ha ha! First thing I did was check my pants because I just spent $130
on nice pants and I was making sure they didn't rip ha ha! There were a couple
miracles that occurred during that accident! First off I had no rips in my
clothes and no cuts or scrapes anywhere on me even though I messed up my bike
and broke the handlebars! The next one was the street I fell on is always busy with
cars flying down the road, but that night there were no cars on the road! God
has blessed me so much on my mission and my life. God loves us all so much and he wants to
bless us continually to show his love for us, it is amazing!
I also got to drive
for the first time today! It was so weird ha ha! I do not recommend driving on
the left side of the road, not fun at all! It was so stressful and everything is
flip flopped. There were times when I went to put a turn signal on and I put the wrong direction
or I would turn on the windshield wipers, it was super funny! It is very stressful and
confusing, but I made it to my destination safe and sound, so I didn't do
too bad.
That was the final week of my first transfer and I am
excited to start the next one! I am also super excited for my birthday next
week I totally forgot about it and my companion reminded me it is next Friday the 27th. I can not believe I will be 19!!! Well, anyways I hope you all have a
fantastic week! I love you all!!

Sincerely,
Elder Ethan Salcedo
