Alright so yes fortunately i was able to see conference live and in english!! It was AWESOME!!! One other gringo in my district here and I and a peruvian in our district who speaks super good english watched it together!!! K i could talk ALLL DAYY about all the things that inspired me, but to list just a few, i LOVED how Elder Hallstrom helped us see the reality of the idea that were sons and daughters of God, its something i feel ive come to realize a lot more and depend on in the mission!! I also LOVED just about every talk from priesthood session and every talk in the sunday morningsession.... oh and Elder Renlunds talk, wow hes brilliant
k well teh weekly report... So we FINALLY got the birth certificates of the family were teaching sent here to Tulua, a bit of a tough process but they should get here this week and we should schedule the wedding and all!!! the family is doing AWESOME!! we have a family night with them right now!!
A few weeks ago, not sure if i told youy guys this, but it was raining super hard and we saw a lady trying to dig a little ditch infront of her house where the water was rising and starting to flood... so he helped her dig, contacted her, and have been teaching her... so last week she came to church for the first time, and then when she saw the ward mission leader went up to him and hugged him,,, turns out their COUSINS, and she didnt even know he was a member haha (hes a convert of like 2 yeears). better yet, we went with a lady from the branch who lives near by to teach her this week and when we got there they both shouted each others names, ran and hugged each other as well... theyre SISTERS!!! no jk, but they are friends from like 30 years ago when they were growing up!! Haha, so... AWESOME!! ya so shes progressing well right now, after the lesson the other day her friend told us something we didnt know, she had a son pass away a few years ago so well go teach the Plan of Salvation and it should be a powerful lesson... i LOVE seeing peoples eyes opened up to the reality of the perfect plan The Lord has for us!!
So my companion amazes me sometimes!! im trying to hand over the reins more and let him take the iniciative in everything we do and even though he gets a bit nervous sometimes and even though weve had some pretty tough situations, hes ALWAYS willing,... he always does his absolute best, no matter what, and ive learned a lot from him! so ya, things are super good here in Tuluá!
Así que, testifico de Jesucristo. Sé que Él es nuestro Salvador. Lo he sentido. Igual que Alma yo sé de estas cosas porque el Espíritu me las ha confirmado a mi corazón, y las comparto en el nombre de Jesucristo, amen.
les amo
nos vemos
Élder Tenney
