Pereira, Life White Week 35

Rest in peace Elder Bigelow, my father. He finished his mission this transfer and will be leaving the glorious country of Colombia soon. 


Literally all of the roads here in Pereira are one way. Every single one. 

For transfers I am staying here in Pereira, and my companion, Elder Gallardo, will be leaving to the COAST! My new comp will be Elder Saez, someone I already know, from Peru. 

I still can´t eat beans. Vegetables are so bad. Everyone in the ward knows I hate veggies and they always joke about it. Its all good tho. At least I don't get too many veggies. 

Sometimes our neighbor gets really drunk (Every Saturday night) and sometimes he thinks he can sing (Every Saturday night) and so some nights we cant sleep (Every Saturday night). It makes it hard to go to church at 8 AM on Sunday. The attendance of our sacrament meeting has greatly declined since we changed hours. Not sure if I mentioned this already. But at the start of the meetings this week there were only 35 homies. 

We took a ride on a jeep up to a farm in the mountains this week! It was fun because it was dangerous and we had to hold on for dear life to not fall off! 

One of our favorite things to do is reenact the 1st Vision. 

I´ve said it before, but there really is a power to the 1st vision. It´s a testament to so many gospel truths that we know. That God and Jesus Christ are separate personages, that God really is our loving heavenly father, and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and does only what the Father would do. Most importantly it teaches us that God speaks to men in this age and generation.
