I miss clash royale

 First of all let me just say my mom changed my email last week to say "first day playing football (soccer)" and i did not write that. I know that its fútbol not football. Gosh. Embarrassing.

Another fast week, had exchanges with Elder Aulestia and the Multi Zone Conference! Very fun stuff. Also boring. 
The usual:
I remember thinking in Challis during church "Wow, in a few weeks church is going to be totally in Spanish." And it's true! But it's actually the exact same. The speaker starts talking, I zone out, and then boom it's over. But I mean I did the same thing even when the speaker was talking in English. Also I've learned that if I am tired all I have to do is make it look like I'm saying a prayer and I can sleep all I want! People will just think, "wow look at that missionary, he's been praying for so long. I need to be more like that."
We got some breakfast at a bakery place nearby our apartment, and this dude saw me and said (in english with a thick accent) "Duuuude, where are you from?" and after talking with him for a second it was very obvious he was on drugs. In fact, he actually told me he was! Because "this is Colombia man!"

Spiritual:
This week I've been reading the Libro de Mormon a lot, and I'm currently in the war chapters of Alma. One thing I always like is that Moroni was always preparing beforehand. And the other thing that is interesting is that the Lamanites also prepare too! The first battle they didn't have any armor, but then in the next one they did! But Moroni was still more prepared! If he had simply decided that he was prepared because last time the Lamanites didn't have armor, the story would be a lot different I think. The point is, we need to always be preparing and strengthening our testimonies. Every day!!
Another thing I've learned/liked this week is prayers of gratitude. When I feel a bit homesick or just wanna go have fun with friends but I'm in different country, it always helps to just say a prayer of gratitude. There is always lots to be grateful for. Also my morning prayers have started getting pretty long, because the longer my prayer, the longer I can stay in bed. 
Hope this week was good for everyone.

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...
