I get caught up on these posts only to fall behind. Here I am two weeks behind but I am going to try and be better for these last 6 months. Here is Jacob's letter for week 75.
" Well, I'm going to list the news because I don't have too much time to write, we'll start in order. Tuesday: A young couple got married for free from our branch, we helped them organize their papers (the girl is an investigator)
Tuesday: My companion turned 21!
Tuesday (later): We had a mission conference, which seemed interesting to us, normally they're smaller conferences. President Treviño announced that he had received a letter from the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. In this letter it was stated that as of July 2012, the Mission Mexico Veracruz would be split! That means that the northern part of the mission will be called the Mexico Xalapa Mission and the southern part will remain the Mexico Veracruz Mission. For two months, I'll be in one of the two missions. What a blessing, it was truly an emotional moment.
Saturday: The young girl that just got married was baptized (pictures next week)
Sunday: Another young girl was baptized in our Ward.
It was an incredible week, full of blessings in every minute. Pure miracles, thanks for helping me stay out here, I look forward to serving the Lord with even more for these next 6 months! Love you all.
-Elder Butterfield
