Easter 1/2

Hey everyone! This week was Easter and we received transfer news! I'm staying here in Monteria and getting a new companion, Elder Flores from Peru. This week we ate some ice cream, had an exchange with Elder Hernández, and some terrible lunches!


This week was the Semana Santa (holy week), which means the food is different (horrible) and everyone leaves the city to spend some time in the pueblos and fincas. So that means pretty much all we did this week was contact people and invite them to church with little cards. And then no one came! That Easter Morning I was honestly feeling a little bit down, and during the Sacrament I started a prayer listing the reasons that I was feeling so, and then the thought popped into my head "be grateful." And so I switched my prayer around and started listing the things that I was grateful for, and felt much better. Life is good. He lives. 







We also had a fun night on the exchange with Elder Hernandez with E' Hurtado and E' Martinez and I. We stayed up late as Elder Hernández explained his giant love story that ended very sad. Then Elder Martinez decided that he also would like to share his sad love story with lots of twists and turns. Then Élder Hurtado also decided to share his story! After that he played the LaLa land song on the guitar and we all went to bed. It was pretty fun I must admit. 


Matthew 28:6 "He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."

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...

  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...
