Alright...before anything...the Spirit of God isn’t the only thing burning. Despite what my mom said...I followed tradition and burned pants on the anniversary of 18 months!
.....wait.......
18 MONTHS?!?!?! WHEN
DID THAT HAPPEN?!?!
YIKES! I am a little
scared now! I just...want to know...where all that time went! Come baaaaaaack!
...well, it can’t come back. So, I shall just have to keep going forward and
make the rest the best of memories possible. I am determined to do that, determined
to learn the most possible from each and every person and investigator out
there!
And read the Bible
completely (I am in 1 Chronicles...got a ways to go)
And read the Book of
Mormon 2 more times (Gonna do it!)
But yes, this week was
just charmingly delicious! (As you can see by the MONSTER of a milkshake I ate
today in our zone. Wow...that thing can fill a grown man FAST!) It was a great
P-day today with many old and new friends...and a growing love for soccer!
I can’t think of any
OUTSTANDING events that happened this week...just the fact that on Tuesday we
were out in an area called San Jose and the buses stop leaving early. Well, we
were waiting for a bus at about 5:45...and the buses stopped coming! I don’t
know why, but every bus that came in decided that they aren’t leaving anymore!
So...we were stuck! Until our bishop came and picked us up at night! Luckily we
weren’t just 2 gringos hanging out in the park or something, but we were at a
member’s house teaching and making a whole lot of noise.
I love my new area and
my companion. It is the perfect duo to make this point of my mission amazing.
We have a baptism planned this Saturday and a whooooooole lot of references
from the temple open house to start working with - some 230 people, at least!
So, I think our work is a little set up for us. Just gotta be present and see
the miracles happen.
Our Lord loves us.
Vaya
Pues!
