Medellin, Week 77

I don't have much time, but my comp is Elder Moutinho he is from Brazil! 

He's a 2 year convert and only member in his family. Hes a gr8 guy. Probs my best companion I've had and he's been a missionary for 1 week lol. 

Elder Pinacho from Mexico is our new roommate. He was my roommate in the MTC so I already knew him, he's a gr8 guy too. Really humble and nice. 

We're doing great. Hoping to baptize haha. Elder Moutinho laughs cus I told him that all our investigators need to get married and he didn't believe me, but now he does lol. No one gets married here. 

We didn't do much when we got our new comps. 

I haven't gotten a package yet. 

Love you lots, talk to you on Sunday!

Medellin, Week 76

Aight. Here we are with the fresh week 6 of the transfer picture spam. Rundown of the week- I'm staying in my area and will be training a new missionary, Elder Pavez and Elder Granda are leaving, I have a lot of pictures of Elder Granda because he's the greatest, 5 people came to church with us woohoo. Also a lot of people in Colombia speak sign language....

1. Elder Granda plays with Batman and Power Ranger action figures in our free time.

2. Aranjuez 2

3. Elder Granda´s face when we see 2 hoodlums eating TREE LEAVES with koolaid powder.....

1. Ya better watch out, ya better not cry, ya better not pout im tellin ya why, ELDER GRANDA IS GONNA SLICE YA UP

2. Elder Pavez eats 8 eggs a day. 

3. He burned himself and then put bread on the burn. Sounds like a bad idea to me, sounds like someones asking for a duck to attack them

1. Aight so Elder Granda completed 6 months in the mission, so like any rational person would do, he decided to buy 6 hamburgers. 

2. Hamburger 1

3. Cinnamon and sugar popcorn. great for weekly planning.

1. When the other missionaries didn't have their phone charger the whole week and then they find it in Elder Grandas drawers. (packing up Elder Grandas stuff when they called us to let him knows his new area is Cerete!)

Howdy,

We're traveling in Colombia,  and guess who we ran into...?

Elder Dawson!

He's working hard in the Lords work. He looks healthy and in great spirits.

Medellin, Week 74

The work of the Lord continues even if I dont write. 

This was the Holy Week and holy cow do people get really busy in this week! We knew that none of our investigators would be in town or available so we did 3 contacting activities Friday Saturday and Sunday like all day where we were in a couple parks with a bunch of signs and we invited people to a table filled with pamphlets. We had signs that said, ¨Meet the Mormons!¨ ¨Why do we walk all day?¨ ¨Why should you listen to us?¨ ¨Why do we knock on your door?¨ and ¨Why are we all named Elder?¨ It was a fun activity. Here in Colombia nobody has heard anything about the Church. For every 100 people we talk to, about 10 will say that they've heard of the church and maybe 1 could tell you something that we believe.

Elder D Todd Christofferson will be visiting our mission and specifically the Medellin Stake this week and Sunday which should be one of the coolest things of my whole life. 

Here in Colombia, Easter isn't really a talked about thing.... Just like last year, none of the talks had to do with Christ. We had a talk about arcade games, a talk about reverence, and two talks about the temple. Its all good tho. This mish is gr8. I feel like as a missionary, my testimony of the Savior grows every day, whatever the church talks may be about.

Ill be home in 6 months. That's a weird thought. I'm trying to live it up while I can. Thank you all for your continued support and love. Love all you homies lots have a great week or 7 until my next letter! 

1. Classic Street Art. Barrio Moravia. 

2. The table with stuff. We talked to a bunch of homies #spreadtheword
