The Primary Program

 Hey everyone, happy Halloween!


Pretty crazy we are almost in November at this point, in a few weeks imma be 20! Crazy stuff.

But ya, this week was really fun. We had a good pday of watching Rio and then playing the game where you put water in your mouth and then take turns slapping each other with tortillas. (see attached video.)  Then we went to the zone leaders house with Elder Gallman and Elder Diaz and made a buuunch of tacos, to the point where we were all stuffed. Then we played the tortilla game again in the house and it was so funny. Elder Bond laughed and sent his water flying all over Elder Gallman. Then that next morning we all played basketball and it was super fun. 



What the dog doin?

too much basketball bro... my shoe completely ripped today!






A bunch of people came to church yesterday!! About 150, so many people that the small chapel couldn't hold everyone and so we started putting chairs in the hallway! The primary program was so cute, and everyone enjoyed it. We had 10 of our friends show up and 6 recent converts! I think that's the most I've ever had.

Unfortunately though Marbin doesn't feel ready for baptism yet so we are still trying to help him, but it might be a little of a slower process. It is what it is. But Yurany and Victoria are still doing great, they both came to church and they always love having us over and we are super excited for them. The Lord really prepared them! They will get baptized in a month because they are going to move to a different part of Armenia and they want to move first.




We also received transfer news! Elder Bond is leaving to go to Medellin, and I'm getting a new comp from Texas called Elder Cloward. We should have a great transfer together! He is new to the mission field so it'll be fun to show him the Colombian missionary lifestyle. 

God is good. I am very grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ and that I have the opportunity to improve and receive forgiveness everyday. 

"If salvation means only erasing our mistakes and sins, then salvation—as wonderful as it is—does not fulfill the Father’s aspirations for us. His aim is much higher: He wants His sons and daughters to become like Him. With the gift of God’s grace, the path of discipleship does not lead backward; it leads upward." 
-Elder Uchtdorf April 2015

Chao chao.

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...
