Lindaraja, Armenia

 hello.


Ya so last week we had transfers and I got transferred out of Rionegro, sadly. But it's aight because now I'm here in the city Armenia and it's really cool! My comp is Elder Bond and he's got a year in the mission and it's been a great week so far! We get along great and we're always laughing together.  We also had some exchanges and I went with Elder Gallman for a day (we lived together in Monteria and he's a good friend) so that was really fun. Finished the night with some hamburgers from Tierra Querida and some Coca-Cola with lime. Pretty fun stuff. Then on Sunday I whipped up some French toast and that night I made chicken tacos! I cut up all the veggies, cooked the chicken (for the first time my whole life) and made guacamole!! It was pretty good I must say.

But ya leaving Rionegro was a little sad. It was a good little week just doing the work of the Lord. We had some really cool people come to church and that made me super happy. I also made French toast that last Sunday in Rionegro, it's now just the tradition. 





This new area is cool. Bigger city, hotter weather, no hills, pretty chill. Pday today was great. Soccer for an hour, basketball for an hour, volleyball for an hour, soccer for an hour and then basketball for 30 min. I'm very sunburned!

Also, in this area the Elders have been robbed 2 times in a year. I'm trying to make it 3. I seriously walk around with the phone in my hand when we are in sketchy parts cuz I want to get robbed. So I'll keep you all updated! Pray that I'll be robbed but not killed. Thanks guys!!!

1% better every day! Been working hard and loving it. Spiritual thought this week: go watch the video "And None were with Him" in the inspirational messages by Elder Holland. Jesus is real and I love his example. When he was literally just leaving the garden of Gethsemane, he decided to heal the soldier's ear and then asked the Father to forgive all of them. He's just the best.

Have a good week!

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...
