and we just keep running

September 4, 2017

Well this week was pretty amazing:

1. Well first off I went on splits this week and I went back to the same area but with a different companion. But I would say that the main highlight was that we were sitting on a bus and we were only on there for like 2 minutes and someone on the outside threw a water balloon at the bus. Practically everyone on the bus got wet except for me. I can only draw two conclusions from that. 1 its because I am just a super great and spiritual missionary and 2. it was because I was the only one in the back of the bus. ðŸ˜†

2. We had a district attack in my area this last Friday. Pretty much a district attack is when all the missionaries from our district go to an area to find more people for the missionaries of that specific area but I´ll just say that we found tons of people from all of the efforts of the missionaries in my district. 

3. Well this last Saturday was Peru vs. Bolivia in futbol (soccer for you gringos) and pretty much the entire world was watching that. We went to visit a new investigator that day during that time and when we passed by we saw the game going on (1-0 Peru if I might add) and we knocked on his door. The first thing he did was close his curtains and then he came out and told us that he was just about to leave the house to go and do something. ðŸ˜‘. So we decided to plan another day to visit him. but that was pretty much the entire night that night. Also we would know who scored because when Peru scored the entire world started to scream ´´GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL´´ and they actually had fireworks go off. and well you knew when Bolivia scored because the world would scream ´´WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!´´ that was an interesting night.

Well as you can tell this week was pretty good. But like always I saved the best for last. So this last fast Sunday (yesterday) we had a stake conference and in the stake conference President Amato spoke and pretty much welcomed all of the investigators who were at the meeting and his wife and daughters shared their testimonies. It was super spiritual and well, amazing to see our president again (like always). But after that an area seventy spoke to all of us. Pretty much he talked about being spiritually self supportive and then he told us how that we are examples to the little ones when they see us put everything else aside to make sure that we go to church, or fulfill our calling, or go to the temple frequently. One word, PODEROSO!

love you all tons,
