Elder Aaron Marsh: Week 47: Service Project!

Hey! How is everyone doing? This week wasn’t too great but no worries, it’ll get better! haha.

We had some really bad luck this week. We were supposed to have the baptism of Sandy Cuesta, but it fell through. It was a real bummer. So we found out from a lady in the ward that she’s been looking for a job for a while now. And that Sandy is planning on leaving Bogotá to go find work. But the church isn’t going to be in that part because it’s super small. I’m not really sure if she’s really going to go. Her cell phone got stolen so we haven’t had too much contact with her. She also wasn’t able to make it to church yesterday so we’re not sure what’s going on.

We did a huge service project this week with all the missionaries in Bogotá! Which is about 90 or so of us! It was super awesome! We cleaned a river like canal that was super long! We found some super interesting stuff and a lot of really gross things as well. But it was for sure a cool experience! It was the first time in a really long time that I got to wear normal clothes outside in the real world, and to be honest I felt like an apostate! hahahaha! But it was chill because it was allowed xD!

There were some Elders that came in from Villavicencio this week and stayed in our house because they had a training with the president, and one of them was from Utah. His name was Elder Thompson and he’s a way awesome guy! It’s always sweet to have someone from your same state to talk to!

Those were some of the interesting things that happened this week. Sorry it was so short!

Love,

Elder Aaron Marsh
