We stay humble we devour!

 Im not in danger. I am the danger.

Hello.

The week was very good. Worked super hard and we had a baptism on Friday! So full of the Spirit and so amazing that I get to be a part of it! Her name is Dayanna Monroy and her husband is a member and they have 3 very adorable kids all under 4 years old.

Funny stuff:

Apparently my comp was a professional clash royale player before his mission!! Like he seriously made money from it. Not much, but he said like $250 a month. Thats my goal after my mission. Little side hustle so i can buy a moto like everyone else here.

It's common for family or friends to call each other "negro/a." We were having a lesson and the lady's sister showed up and she said "hola negra!" And i was very confused because they are not black lol. 

Also we were about to do our daily planning in the morning, and my companion set the phone on the desk (like half on half off) and we knelt to say a prayer but he bumped the table and the phone fell and the screen popped off! We only have one phone and no other Elders in the house. Luckily there was a shop nearby that could fix it though. But we went a few hours without a phone! Felt like the olden days.

Spiritual stuff:

I made that goal to finish the Libro de Mormón before December right? Well this week I realized I had really started just "speed reading" and not understanding much or learning much. So I've decided to take my time and after each chapter think about what I read, how it applies to me, and what can I do today to apply it. Its way better haha.

Favorite Scripture this week: Heleman 5:12

"...recordad que es sobre la roca de nuestro Redentor, el cual es Cristo, el Hijo de Dios, donde debéis establecer vuestro fundamento... a causa de la roca sobre la cual estáis edificados, que es un fundamento seguro, un fundamento sobre el cual, si los hombres edifican, no caerán."

Also the zone leaders told me yesterday that I need to be on their team today in fútbol. So ya I'm pretty good.


Pictures from the week:
This lunch cost 10 million pesos, which is the equivalent of about $3 US money.

These 4 men in front were the first missionaries to serve in my area (Pereira) 50 years ago!



Good stuff brethren. Don't be lazy.

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...
