Update on Darren's Mission

Darren has now moved to a new area in Comayagüela, Flor del Campo, and has a new companion, Elder Herrera, from El Salvador. They've already enjoyed a little more success than Darren had in his first area, in terms of converts to the church, which I'm sure is gratifying. This photo shows him with Elder Herrera (far left), a member fellow named Joab, Joab's wife Ibeth (the one being baptized), their three kids (in front), the ward mission leader (in back), and Joab's friend (far right). It's still only February, but Darren looks positively baked in the recent photos he's sent us. With two native-Spanish-speaking senior companions in a a row, he must be learning a lot about the language; I just hope he's finding lots of opportunities to insert himself in conversations, as he'll need that experience later on when he's assigned to be a senior companion himself.
