Week 21!

my fam!!! HOW'S IT HANGING?????

 

i'm having a great time here!  last night we found out what is going on with my 3RD CHANGE ALREADY!!!  elder ashby is leaving to taecuarembo and i'm staying here!  guess who my comp is going to be???  A LATINO!!!!! yeah i know!  his name is Elder Seguda.  i'm not sure what exactly is going to happen but i'm super excited to learn spanish super fast!!!  Elder Ashby said that i'll probably be fluent by the end of this change because it will be 24/7 SPANISH!!!!  hahaha but anyways, back on to this last week.  the Choir Concert went AWESOME!!!!  my solo went pretty good actually!  so it was lots of fun!  there were a lot of people that came  to the activity and the church was just FILLED with the spirit and a TON of people were crying because of the spirit in the room.  a lot of the men members of the stake were all giving us hags and telling us how great it was to have this happen and how we involved the stake youth and everything.  so that was great to hear :)  we worked a lot on that and tried to get as many people as we possibly could to come to it.  we ended up with the chapel completely FILLED with people.  this week we've hit a lot of rain...  and i mean a TON of rain like 3 days straight of just raining.  haha which makes it a lot tougher to find people because they end up sleeping for EVEN LONGER than their normal 1-5 o'clock siesta.  haha so it was pretty tough but oh well we've been trying our absolute best.  we found a really great couple this last week named Oscar and Jeni,  he's about 27 or 28 years old and she's somewhere around there as well, but the one problem is that they aren't married....... yeah.... i was pretty disappointed because he is a total STUD and he is genually interrested in hearing and learning about the gospel.  but we just need to get our investagators to church.  we keep trying and trying to get them there but the just don't ever show...  it's difficult but it's a blast working here!  i'm super excited that i get to be here for at least 6 more weeks!!!  thanks for all of the letters and emails and all for sending me!!!  it's great to know that people are thinking about you even though you are pretty far away.

 

¡VAMOS ARRIBA!
