so this week was interesting. My companion got sick. so we lost a ton of time. so in terms of a lot of things, its was kind of a slow week. BUT we did have a mission conference that pretty much was AMAZING. We watched this MTC devotional that Elder Holland gave back in January. Pretty much changed my life. As a missionary. and As a person. He talked about why and how Preach My Gospel came about. President Hinckley was seeing problems with the missionary program...one the biggest being that returned missionaries were coming home and then leaving the church. So they came out with Preach My Gospel. The idea of Preach My Gospel was to first make message sink into the hearts of missionaries. Anyway, it was awesome.
Maria Jose is getting baptized on Saturday! And we´ve got some other people we are working with.
Hmmm...today we played volleyball with the zone of El Belloto. It was fun. Really this week wasnt that exciting. Thats what happens when you or your comp get sick. The ward did have a pretty sweet activity on friday night. it was "Yo Quiero Ser..." It was like American Idol but for the ward. it was pretty sweet. it just started at nine. which was a problem. The funny thing about the ward, is that NO ONE remembers we have a baptism on saturday...but we tell ONE person my comp is sick and within 6 hours the whole ward knows and is asking us why we won´t go to the hospital. Gotta love Las Américas.
Thats cool that Zandi was able to get a visa. Sounds like you had fun dad in Utah with Andy, Caleb and Annika. Im glad you´re liking the family history class mom. Mom, something about dreams....i think in the states we get really synical about dreams and what they mean. But in the mission i have learned that sometimes you gotta pay attention to them. So you never know...you just might get called on a mission to England with dad. =)
Well I hope all is well at home. I love you all. Say hi to people for me! That sounds like that missionary week thing would be cool. When does Foster get back? Isnt graduation coming up? thats weird.
