Goodbye Palma

Well first off with the sad news......
I am leaving Palma. I received a call from President Dayton telling me that I would leave Palma. I was really sad. I did not want to leave Palma. I love Palma. But I left all I could there. Im gonna miss Elder Bradshaw and all the members in Palma. But there is slightly exciting news!

The exciting news is that when president called me on Saturday he asked me if I would be his assistant. I was excited but very overwhelmed haha. An assistant to the mission president does a lot of work and has a lot of responsibility. But I accepted and packed my bags and left to Barcelona the next day. 

Wow this has been a crazy week. With the new calling I was really humbled and we have had a lot of work. I am not going to lie it has been a week much different than any other week in my life. I have had more work and have had so little time working in the actual streets. But I have adjusted well. I know what I am doing is for the benefit of the mission as a whole and I know that many lives will be blessed because of the work Elder Duersch and I put in here in Barcelona. I got to Barç Sunday night and have been working in the office until 11pm every night this week. This week was a crazy week. 

But as assistant I have new responsibilities . We are going to be traveling with President Dayton to all the zone conferences this transfer. We work a lot on end of the year numbers and we will be working a lot to help the mission change with the new technology we all just got. It’s a lot on my plate but I’m really excited! 

The miracle that I would say I saw from this week was the opportunity that I had to see the change in the Baleares Islands. When I got there the excitement and energy for missionary work was low in the missionaries and the members. But after 3 months of vigorous work we saw the change we have wanted to see. The missionaries are excited and the members are as well. Palma 1 and 2 have baptized multiple times in November and will both baptize in December. It was a true pleasure to work in the islands. I loved it. I loved every second of it. I am so excited to see what awaits me here in Barcelona. 

Elder Duersch and I are so excited to work together. He is amazing. The most amazing thing I have noted about Elder Duersch is that he is able to see all the work we have to do and not get stressed out. He conquers every task with a smile on his face. He is always trying to have fun and he is always wanting to be the best representative of Jesus Christ. 

I am really excited to be in Barcelona working as assistant to the mission president. Elder Duersch and I want the mission to focus more on people and less on just meeting goals. We want to see a true change in El Faro missionaries. I love the mission.

Have a great day,
Elder Bristol

  1. Querido hermano en Cristo,if you,really,love God and Truth,it is important you,also,come to know a well known documented and verified truth(even though,cheaters try to deny it by telling silly tales),that is the book of Mormon is totally worthless(Never a Tribe of Israel went to the Americas to give birth to the Natives-the DNA test denies it- and far less the Lord JESUS. Truly,the so called original manuscript with the "pearl of great price" were mere lists of obituaries written in the old language of Egypt,which mister J. Smith had purchased in a library,and the "apostles" in Salt Lake know it well;by the way,'cause Smith was a Freemason,many rituals followed in the temples come from masonry). We have,already,a perfect testament,which you can find it in the GOSPEL(Galatians 1,6-9,Jude 3-4). May the Grace and the Love of our Heavenly father find a warm welcome in your soul,so that his Holy Spirit can protect you from deception,sin and hell(Luke 12,1-12);until the day-if,you turn earnestly and with humility to our Lord JESUS to get his personal revelation with his forgiveness and holy freedom;and,so,to taste his fellowship with his peace and mercy- you too 'll enter the joy of Paradise. En el amor de JESUS
