MultiZona!

 Hey guys!


This week we had our multlizone conference in the Aleje (Armenia, Periera, and Manizales) part of the mission! It was a super awesome and the AP's had a super fun little game in which we all made paper airplanes and attempted to throw them at a target that was attached to President Lythgoe's chest haha. Pretty much everybody failed but Elder Gallman actually hit him! The point of the game was to show that we need to plan ahead, but then while in course we need to make adjustments if we actually want to make it to our target (weekly planning -> daily planning). And it was super fun to be there with some old comps and talk to everyone.

It was fun to take a bus as a zone on the hour trip to the other city and we played some mafia and stuff. That night Elder Grant came with Elder Bond and I to our area and worked with us a little bit. He's a cool guy that I haven't been able to meet before in my same group!  We then finished the night by buying some hot dogs and making some smores and it was super fun.

Other than that it was a pretty normal week. Elder Bond and I have been playing basketball a lot in the mornings so that has been fun. Also yesterday a lady gave us 2 fish to cook up for dinner and I gave it a try with my new cooking skills, and it actually turned out super good if I do say so myself. 

The weeks are flying by though. I feel like time just slips away and before I know it the day is over and I need to head to bed even though there are still lots that I would like to do!!

Feliz cumpleaños Hermana Preciado!

Spiritual thought this week is from the BYU talk called "Be 100% responsible" - it's a super great one!! But a summary is that I have decided to try to improve on stopping procrastination, complaining, and rationalizing my actions. Also I have found yet a new scripture that I love:

2 Timothy 1:7-8
"7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord..."

Shout out to Grandma Jan for telling me what her favorite scripture was, the rest of you gotta step it up.

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...
