Average, on the grind week

 Hey guys-


So this week was kinda tough because like we had a family and another dude on baptismal date but then none of them came to church, so it's kinda tough. But some other people came and really liked it! Elder Vega is a super cool guy and we get along great so at least I got that going for me. But those people that had the baptismal dates I think we can talk to them this week and get them to lock in, if not... well let's just say that I don't have much patience with people who don't come to church. To me it makes no sense like at all. But I mean people can do what they want I guess. 

Um other than that it was just your average on the grind week. I got sick on Wednesday and we stayed at home the whole day. We also found a bus that takes us up the giant hill we have and we can just do that at the beginning of the day and then spend the rest of the day walking down so that's nice. 










Today we went to "el hueco" which is the hole. But it's like just a huge huge place with anything you could ever imagine being sold there. I bought a new soccer jersey for $3 and then a new pair of clippers. We also got pizza and Coca-Cola. Before my mission I never drank soda but now I love Coca-Cola. Not the best thing ever but it is what it is.  We also played soccer for awhile.





Today I hit 20 months lol. For the people that do the "6 months to sexy" thing I think that is super dumb. I've only got a few months left in Colombia, I gotta live it up and eat everything I can! I'll do the 6 months thing after I get home bro. 



I didn't email last week so I guess I should mention we met this dude whose name is Cristian and he wants to stop drinking and he was super motived and came to church two weeks ago and accepted a baptism goal but then didn't come yesterday... we shall have to see what's up with that. 


Last pday we went to a trampoline park and then did some super fast go karts. It was kinda expensive but super fun. But ya dude, just living it up here in Medellin, it's a hype place to be. Especially on pday haha there is a ton to do. Before you ask yourself, is it allowed for missionaries to go to a trampoline park or ride go karts? I will say that I don't know and we didn't ask permission either. It's always better to ask forgiveness than permission. Life lesson.  {You can watch attached video if you'd like.  Luke comes in around the 34 second mark.}






D&C 45:62 For verily I say unto you, that great things await you.


Ya bro, but thanks for reading. Mom, I love you and I hope you appreciate the fact that I'm probably the best missionary in the world at writing my emails every 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...
