Alright first things first, the big news got here last night about the transfers this week, and well, as the title of this article says, im out...... Im taking off and making my great depart from Buenaventura tomorrow night and headed to Zarzal, a few hours north of Cali!! So that will be a bummer to leave this area ive loved so much... Ive really fallen in love with all these people here, with the crazy adventure that this city is, and more than anything, its been sooooo neat, life changing, to see such a young, extremely young branch grow fast with soooo much energy as this branch is here!!! I cant even begin to explain how much ive leanred here and how special of a place in my heart this city will always have!!
Alright so i dont know much about Zarzal where im headed, just that it has a sweet name and that its still killer hot there haha darn it, i was kinda hoping for a break from the heat but all good all good... i like sweating anyways... especially in my sleep... But actually elder darby came from zarzal when he got here to buenaventura so hes filled me in a bit, its a smaller city in a little valley thats really calm apparently, nothing dangerous mom haha dont worry... and apparently the foods super cheep there, and lets be honest thats all that really matters...
Alright well honestly i dont have much other than that this week sorry, but i did finally get some better pictures, and mom i took some of how the food more importantly the juice is here in buenaventura, and most of Colombia! The first pic attached is of whats called ``Salchipapa`` its french fries and a number of different meats chopped up with melted cheese poured over it, and a number of salsas, way good!!! Well, let me rephrase that, you never want to look at one again after eating it, and jim gaffigan would have some fun talking about it, but none the less theres nothing better for a bunch of missionaries to order in the night and mess aorund with after a long day of a lot of walking and preaching!
K the second picture here is me holding a fruit called ``guayaba``. You cut it up nice and easily and then chuck it in the blender with a bit of water, milk, and sugar, and its awesome!!! Tastes a tad bit like strawberry, but milder and sweeter, and ya its good stuff!!!
Alright well of a good number of really interesting and spiritual lessons this week id like to talk a bit just about one in particular. Ayer fuimos a la casa de un amigo de un miembro, y èl es discapacitado (hes in a wheelchari). Al escuchar su historia, nos dimos cuenta mucho màs de que tan bendecidos realmente somos, y me di cuenta un poquito màs de pòr que quiero servir la misiòn. Sentimos mal por èl, mas sin embargo fuimos aprendiendo que èl ha aprendido muchìsimo de sus experiencias, y por ellas realmente està preparado para escuchar el evangelio! Sentì alegrìa en la lecciòn, mas no sabìa còmo deberìa relatar el evangelio a su vida, porque no he tenido experienceas muy semejantes a las de èl. Por lo consiguiente, hice lo que siempre hago, una oraciòn. Despuès sentì muy giado por el Espìritu, la verdad, ni siquiera sentì como fui yo hablando, las palabras simplemente se me estaban saliendo, y ese señor reconociò el espìritu, el cual mi compañero y yo identificamos como el tercer miembro de la trinidad que nos testifica de la verdad. Tambièn quiero dar mi testimonio que estamos en la iglesia verdadera y restaurada de Jesucristo, y lo digo en Su nombre, amen.
los amo
nos vemos
