Hey friends and family!
Happy Fourth of July! My
companion, Elder Damiano and I have been super stoked for this day and it went
super well! So this week was a
super successful week. We were able to
have a lot of lessons as well as references from the members! The members are seriously so awesome here in
this ward. I am loving it! We set up a baptismal date with an
investigator named Sandy. She’s super
awesome and has been very accepting of the gospel. She didn’t end up coming to church this
week. I’m not sure why. I guess we’ll find out this week!
Diana,
another investigator is doing really well! Her whole family was able to go to church this
week! We were so happy that her husband
came to church! He told us that he
really liked it a lot, so we’re super excited for him and the family!
Our
area includes part of downtown Bogota. Every
P-day we get to go whenever we want and look around and buy some cool things! Everything there is super cheap but really
cool. There’s like half of it that’s
super rich and super nice, then you cross the main road to the other part, and it’s
like a 180 flip! It’s crazy! It’s a
really cool experience! MY companion and I want to go back one of these weeks
to take pictures. I’ll have to send you
all of them because it’s super sweet!
Three
weeks ago I wanted to try an experiment. I decided to cut my own hair! It was hard as heck but it actually turned out
pretty good! I don’t know if I’ll EVER do
it again because it was super stressful but we’ll see! haha Then just last
night, I had Elder Damiano cut my hair! Double experiment! It turned out really good though! It was a great companionship unity building
project to gain some more trust! haha. We have a blast together!!
Today
for the 4th we went to the temple! I
decided to show my American pride with the tie that I wore. Later, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings! We for sure thought we deserved everything
American today because I mean hey, we can haha. BWW isn’t the same here, but it
was still super good! haha!
Apparently
people from Utah have accents. My comp is
from the Georgia and doesn’t have a southern accent but he actually didn’t grow
up there. He thinks that all of us from
Utah have the same accent. Which was
really new to me haha. I guess we say
´´way`` a lot instead of so, or super. So
little by little I’m trying to convert him to the best Utah ways hahaha.
I’m
having a blast here on the mission! Every day has its ups and downs but it’s so
worth it! We are working like horses ;) and
doing everything we can to help others come unto Christ.
I
hope everyone has a great week and chooses the right! And read Alma 36 this week! I found a lot of answers and great things in
this chapter!
Love
and miss you all!
