Well let me just say this week was absolutely tiring. I`ll tell you why after these:
1.
Well first off we had transfers this last Tuesday and my new
companion`s name is Elder Martin. He is so awesome. We work so hard and
we really are harvesting the field. But apparently before the mission
(he has 16 months) he had a contract to play professional futbol
in Columbia.
2. We had a baptism this week. His Name is
Roberto and he truly is a golden investigator. He sought out the
missionaries and every single time we talked to him about something he
accepted it right there and started to live it.
3. AHHHH man! We have like everything in our house. Everyone living in the
apartments are members, our pension lives in one of the apartments,
our pension`s husband is our ward mission leader, and our pension also
does our laundry. I think I heard the choir of angels singing hallelujah
when I heard these things.
4. Apparently we have a member of
the seventy in our ward too. He spoke this Sunday and I was blown away. I
didn't know he was a seventy until after his talk. If I knew that I
would have taken notes. (and maybe guessed what his title was) 
Ahh
man this area is soooooo huge! Elder Martin is all about working hard.
Apparently he opened the area last transfer and it was crap. But he and
his first companion (the first two Elders in this area for the past 2
and a half years) started working the first week and totally flipped
this area around. Usually the mind set is that if you go to a really
rich area you hardly find anybody. Well it`s completely different here
because truly everywhere you go it is ready and filled with people
looking for the truth. We walk hard every single day. I think we walk at
least 6 or 7 miles because our area is huge. I can definitely tell that I
have lost weight. I am truly learning how to work hard here. So hard
that when I get back to my room I practically go straight to bed because
I am so tired. I think I`ll end with this. "For behold, the field is
white. already to harvest. and Lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with
his might layeth up in store and perisheth not, but bringeth salvation
unto his soul."
I miss you all tons,
