It's a Small World After All

 Hey everyone! This week was a good one! 


We had transfers and so I got my new comp Elder Gutierrez! He's from Bolivia and is really cool. He brought a little chess set and it has been super fun to play chess in the house at night. Also, idk if I already mentioned it but Elder Hellwig is back in the same house as me! So that's been really fun as well. But it was a good thing we had been playing chess this week because on Saturday for our lunch we went to a member's house (who by the way is a white guy from Maine with a Colombian wife), and he whipped out his chess board to play with us. We played 2 quick games and I won one and tied the other.







But ya also had a crazy miracle! On Sunday I pull up to church and the other white guy (from Utah south jordan) walks up to me and says, "Hey we have a gift to you from Chad Condie." Like bro wha. That's my uncle.  His parents came down to Colombia for the baby blessing of their grandson and about an hour before they were leaving for the airport my uncle just happened to be walking the dog and his neighbor just happened to be outside, so he stopped to talk to them. They found out that I'm serving in the same ward that their son is in, and they were coming to visit. It's a small world we live in! But I was also super grateful because obviously the Lord played a hand in that one. I have been enjoying delicious Mint Oreos and Nerd Cluster gummies.

During the sacrament I was reading in Mosiah 5 and I really liked what it said.
"12 I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to retain the name written always in your hearts, that ye are not found on the left hand of God, but that ye hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also, the name by which he shall call you. 13 For how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served, and who is a stranger unto him, and is far from the thoughts and intents of his heart?"

The scripture speaks for itself.

Have a good one!

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...
