On
monday, we worked in the office and prepared everything for chagnes and
then had the most amazing night with the missionaries that were going
home. we went to dinner at presidents house and it was incredible.
Hermana Díaz seriously has a gift from God for cooking. its amazing. she
can cook for 20 or 30 people and make it so good every time. after the
dinner they all shared their testimonies and then some decided to stay
at our apartment for the night. well it just happened that two of my old
comps were going home, elder passey, and elder osuna, so we ended up
falling asleep at about 3:30 and waking up at 5 to shower and be at the church to leave at 6 to Santiago!
tuesday
we dropped off the olds, and picked up the news. theyre all studs.
seriously one of the most mature and prepared group of new missionaries
ive ever seen. its cool, its like they just keep coming more and more
prepared. all of the missionaries finishing went through the temple
(which is agonizing to see them go in and not be able to) while the
office trained all the new missionaries on everything. biggest surprise
was getting to the temple with all of the sister missionaries that i got
to the mission with and see all of teh sisters from my district in the
mtc in santiago getting ready to go home too!! haha so weird.
on
wednesday we had the changes meeting and it was really special. im with
elder ammirati now, the stallion, and even though im still living in
downtown viña (in the sickest apartment ever) our sector is up on this
super ghetto hill. its gonna be tight. today were gonna head up to our
sector for the first time this week and start baptizing some latino
thugs. #thuglife
thursday we were overloaded.
we were in the office working the ENTIRE DAY making up all of the work
taht we couldnt do during the week and preparing our presentations and
everything for mission council on friday. at like 11 we got back to our
house and elder Frampton and his comp came from their zone in the north
to spend the night with us. we got up early to get yoked and then headed
over to the mission council. #swollsquad
at
mission council i gave a ppt on how were doing as a mission in the
amount of references were getting and baptizing. one of these week ill
have the send the graph of the statistic were keeping its really cool.
but it was good and there are going to be a few changes made. there has
been a huge enfasis in focusing 100% on preach my gospel and following
the guidelines. logical. the thing is the map to baptizing.
its
just been a crazy week. it was so long. when you stop doing normal
missionary things like having studies every day, and having time to
proselyte every day you just feel different. the team we have in the
office is sweet right now. Elder staton, my good old friend came in with
us and will finish his mission in the office. Elder Roach and elder
frampton left but its chill were gonna rock the boat this change.
im
pumped to work. i love the mission. i love the Lord. everything i have
is because of him. my potencial depends completely on my willingness to
accept his will. heard a really cool quote this week that goes "the key
to staying firm is service. if you are not serving others pride find its
way in." the church is how it is for a reason. everyone has a calling,
everyone has been called to share the gospel, and everyone has been
commanded to keep the commandments. when we stop fulfilling in any of
those things, we stop our progression because were are not serving. its
the key to happiness.
just want to make up for
forgetting last week and tell Di that i love you so much and happy
birthday! 28 right?? 20 forever. You´re a gem mom and my whole life ive
always looked up to you so much for being so happy and never losing love
for anyone. you truly have the pure love of Christ and i hope to obtain
it one day. Happy birthday mother.
Col, its
the big 17 homie. live it up cause its the time of your life. hope you
spend it well and have a good time dawg. love you so much your my best
friend and i cant wait to celebrate your 18th together. skydiving.
Love you guys <3
