I ❤️ Paisas

 Hello.


It was a good week! It went by super quick though. We gave a baptismal date of March 3 to the family of 5 and they accepted and came to church again yesterday! The members are helping out a lot so that's awesome. Also a lady who was being taught a few months ago just kinda out of the blue decided to get baptized so that's fun. She's been coming to church a ton but never wanted to commit but now she does! 

Yesterday was super fun because one of the YSA kids (Mateo) was turning 23 and so the mom invited us to lunch at their house but then it was also a surprise party for Mateo and all the YSA from the ward were there. It was fun to hang out for a min and eat a ton, lol.



This is the steep hill we have to climb to reach the family of 5




But ya other than that it was just your average week out here in Medellín. Elder Culler and I now have the morning habit of playing a game of chess. That has been fun haha. Also a few nights of cover your assets.

Also, back in my old area Lindaraja they had 4 baptisms! The family Arciniegas of 3, and then Diana Marcela that we taught before I left!!! They are super great families and it's so awesome that they were able to get baptized! Things are going good.

Last night after our devotional I played chess with Elder Culler while listening to Elder Uchtdorf's YSA devotional thing. I really liked it! He pretty much said that as long as we trust God and work hard, the dots will come together and everything will work out. It was pretty funny cuz he started out by saying "Am I blessed or what?" Lol. Same bro. 

Alma 29:9-10
...and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy. 10 And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent, and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy; then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that he hath heard my prayer; yea, then do I remember his merciful arm which he extended towards me.

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...
