I'm Spiderman

"Being Spider-man is a sacrifice, that's the job, that's what you signed up for" -Miguel O'Heara

Have you ever seen me and Spider-man in the same room? Therefore proof that I am Spider-man. 
I leave for Colombia this week! Very hype.
Funny stuff: 
  • Elder Bottari and I went to Stanley to do some work (which is an hour away from Challis and in the middle of nowhere) and I reeaally had to pee. So we pulled over at a "lodge" that was actually just a bar and when we walked in a guy at a table said "No way!! The Elders are here? Right on, right on" and then gives us a fist bump. Although there were a few cuss words mixed in. Apparently no Elder's had visited the bar ever. It seems like a great spot to find some people who need the Gospel to me!
  • We went to lunch with the Elders in Arco we got burgers! First of all let me just say that as missionaries we are broke and don't get much spending money. So afterwards Elder Bottari paid the waitress and the options of tip were the classic 15, 20, 25 and she just stares at him. He then presses "No Tip" and she shakes her head at us and we just walked out laughing. To be fair she literally did nothing and just asked what we wanted and then we waited for forever even though the restaurant had like nobody.
Spiritual Stuff:
  • I studied President Nelson's talk and looked for the promises that he gives us as we "think celestial" and it was a good study! You should re-listen to it bro! I also learned 2 other things as I studied his talk.
  • (Here they are): Things that require faith, build faith. And people lose their testimonies because they do not have the Spirit with them. We need the Spirit to be a constant companion to confirm the truth to us! 
  • The reason I mention the spiderman thing is because it's just like being a disciple of Christ!! But the difference is the sacrifice we make, we get a whole lot more in return. 

Pics from the week:






I'm excited to go to Colombia!! I'm also excited to leave Challis, because it kinda sucks here. No one likes us for some reason! But don't get me wrong I've been super happy and having a good time. Colombia! My next email might be all in Spanish because I'll probably be fluent by then.

Stake Conference and Last Transfer

Image
  What's up homies. Ya so these past 2 weeks were pretty good but also weird. We had stake conference and also zone conference with Prez and the wifey. Stake conference was fun-ish, just a long 2-hour meeting haha. But they had some good messages. But my comp and I were super tired and slept through a few talks, but we were hidden in the corner so don't worry about it.  But ya also we had the zone conference.  That was fun but also strange to think that I only have one left! It was great, talking about setting goals and that the Lord is speeding up the work and we need to as well.  President announced some big changes in our mission, which will really make it like a normal mission but it's gonna be very different. For example, we have district council at 6pm on pday. So we don't work at all on pday. Now it's gonna be on Tuesday morning so we can work at 6 on pday. We also are now supposed to be out of the house by 10 in the morning! I'm really happy about that o...

Party Week

  Hey y'all how's it going. So this week was another good one! We had 2 family home evenings this week and both had a lot of friends and fun games. One was with the family Varon, mafe, los elderes, Alex and Andrea, and Helmer on Friday. Then on Sunday night we were with Maribel y Sebastian, family Varon, Nancy and her kids, and Diana y Johnny. Both super fun!!  Also on Sunday we moved houses because the rent in the house we live in is going up a ton this month, so we are switching it up. Although we were very busy, we didn't end up moving our stuff until around 10:30 at night lol. The new house is nice, with a pretty fancy couch. Our bedroom is nice cuz we have a big window that gets good airflow, natural light to make it easy to wake up, and a decent view!  But ya other than that just your average week here. We had almost all of the recent converts in our area come to church, and 2 new people! Like I said, they are willing to come once but for some reason they don't co...

We Good

  Howdy there partner. This week was a good one, just working hard to get people to come to church and get baptized so that they can recieve more joy and peace in their lives through Jesus Christ. And this week was pretty good! We had 4 people come to church this week, and most importantly Carolina came and she has a baptismal date for June 29th! Imma miss it by a few days but it's chill. But ya it was a good week. We had a fun little activity on Friday and it rained so not many people came but we had some friends pull up and we shared about how to prepare for the second coming and the book of Mormon helps us a ton. Then we played a little game and that was fun. Then had a small treat and headed home.  Also I've been enjoying a lot more fast food this past week. I've only got a few more weeks to enjoy the delicious salchipapa and buñuelos so I'm trying to live it up. We had a little family night with the family Paniagua Diaz and that was fun. Shared a video from the chu...
