Answers to all your questions

Every meal always has chicken and rice. It’s amazing, other things I really have no idea what it is but it’s good. My pensionista is hna Carmen. She is like 4 feet tall it’s awesome. Sundays are amazing because that is when all the families are together and we have lots of success.

For example, Saturday, after a rough unsuccessful day, with 3 cancelled baptismal dates we had a man get out of a taxi and then he called us over. Told us about his life and how he’s been inactive for 10 years but he wants his family to have the gospel in his life. So we met with his fam that night and one of his friends. His wife was very interested, so they attended church yesterday. They were very impressed and hungry to learn more. So we taught them last night and were able to commit his wife Elizabeth to baptism and a marriage date. It was a miracle. As my companion and I were all down and out, we need to find a family, and right then this man called us out. If we were not there right at that time, there would have been no way, we could have found them. 

And no I am not singing in the choir, maybe later down the road when I actually understand hymns in Spanish. And we are in a ward, in a room the size or the relief society room. We have ward council meetings every Sunday that take about 3 hours. Very good and intense meetings. Yesterday we whipped it into 4 wheel drive. 

Yes I have a bedroom, and the bed is average. It’s possible to sleep when you climb hills all day. But it’s tough when we are always skipping meals. AS we are running , sprinting home. its awesome. mission life.

Bathroom is weird, I will have to send a pic cuz the setup is backwards.

And all of our baptismal dates got moved to Oct.

I believe that preach my gospel is not just for missionaries! I believe that is for everyone! Every member a missionary. And Noah you better start studying. haha. It is a very powerful and inspiration book.

I believe there are two types of leaders in this world. Loving or demanding. You love, lift up, give compliments, help your trainee gain confidence. Or you demand perfection and focus on the negative. Which one are you…

 The other day I was on splits for the day with another companion. After watching the restoration video about Joseph Smith, I was able to give the invitation for baptism to this lady. She said she had already been baptized in the Catholic Church. So I shared a scripture in Ephesians 4.5   1 baptism, 1 faith and 1 God, and talked about how many other faiths and forms of baptisms. Then gave the inv. again. She then said yes. The spirit was there. That was the one reason it worked. And the restoration story is the most powerful part of the 1 lesson.

Seguir , which means follow is in the word, seguridad, which means safety. John 8.12 ... Matthew 15.14...don’t follow the blind haha.

John 15.13..15  greater love hath no man than this , that a man lay down his life for his friends. Mi verdadera amigo.
