Alright well nothing out of the normal has happened here in Guaduales, Cali, Colombia, everythings good!!!
If you want a good laugh you can ask me how many times ive changed a light bulb here in Colombia.... Everybody just sees me in the street and thinks ´´oh perfect, hey, tall guy, come here real quick! could you do us a favor´´ and then i always ask them if it is indeed turned off, they say yes, but every single time as im screwing in the bulb in the ceiling i get temporarily blinded once screwed in enough as it immediately lights up.....
So things are good. My companion and i get along really well. Its been a bit of a change since my last comp and i had over four months together we got along suuuper well, were perfect teaching together, and really helped each other to work even more diligently... so i kinda gotta rebuild up to that level with this comp but hes awesome and we are getting there.
The ward is still huge here. Its weird. The ward threw a part on saturday and we didnt even do anything... in the other little branches ive been in the missionaries had to do everything, here, nothing, we simply colored a few banners with markers and the members did everything else... The bishop here is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! First off, dad, i realize more and more everyday how hard your job was as bishop haha as i see all the bishops do here, and more and more i realize how ignorant i was to all you did, i applaud you, but of course, its only with The Lords help that anyone fulfills their callings *side note DC 12134;37ish is one of my FAVORITE passages of scriptures that i study more and more everyday and has helped me A TON with magnifying my callings on the mish.,.
But ya the bishop here is super young, probably 32ish, his wife as well, they have a few little kids, and hes the bishop of what im pretty sure is the biggest ward in the whole mission. Furthermore, the bishop has a prosthetic leg, from just below his waist, and he walks with those arm crutch things and its amazing how much he gets done despite his disability. He served a complete mission as well with just one leg. Super neat leader, i hope to learn lots from him, hes one of many amazing leaders in the church here in Colombia...
Alright well sorry thats about all ive got for now, im glad to hear everythings good up there, all is good here as well, still cant even begin to describe how perfect The Lords plan of happiness is. No creo que se vea tanto en los estados unidos, pero por acá que hay más necesidades, se anota bastante que el evangelio realmente cambia vidas y ilumina totalmente lo que era una vida triste y deprimente antes... Me encanta y he estado estudiando mucho una parte de Predicad mi Evangelio que explica que ninguna fuerza se pierde en la obra misional, y es verdad. Aunque las personas que enseno no acepten el evangelio en mi tiempo, sé que sus hogares cambian y mejoran igual, y que queda más probable que lo acepten más adelante. Testifico de Cristo, que hizo este plan posible, en el nombre de Jesucristo, amen,
los amo
nos vemos
