Rionegro con frío

 Hey everybody! We had transfers last week so I was traveling the whole pday, but it's been a crazy 2 weeks!


I got moved out of Sahagun after 1 transfer because like 30 missionaries left and we only got 12, so a few areas got closed including mine. I'm now in Rionegro with Elder Alexander! Rionegro is a town/city like an hour outside of Medellín. It's been awesome! It's a lot cooler, one of the coldest areas in the mission! Which really isn't that cold, but at night you can throw on a sweater! We also have a gym in the apartment which means we are allowed to go and it's been fun. 


Rio Negro means "Black River", as the city received its name after a river that looks black because of the shadows cast by trees.





Leaving Sahagun was kinda sad though. I had made some good friends in the branch and was expecting to stay longer. But I'm loving it here!

We also got a new mission president! Presidente y Hermana Lythgoe. We had a multizone conference this past Friday and so I was able to meet them and they are really cool! It was also fun to see some old comps and friends in the Medellin multizona. Elder Briggs, Elder Martinez, and Elder Evans haha. (also Elder Santizo, who was in my MTC group.)

But the message that President gave I really liked. He talked about how Jesus didn't do anything that wasn't the will of the Father, and that if we are doing our best to follow His will, we are doing all we need to. That was a big comfort in the missionary work for me. All I need to worry about is if I'm doing what I need to be doing. Y ya! 

John 5:30 "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."

Chao chao,
Elder Bingham

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...
