im in love with Manizales. if i lived in Colombia this would be the place.

we are getting a lotta work done but the results are a little slower. got some people we are gonna put baptismal dates on this week. so that'll be good..... this week is Semana Santa (holy week) and basically every one is Catholic so things will be a little harder than normal. but we´ll work hard :)

yesterday was interesting!! president Calderon surprised us and showed up at a stake priesthood meeting here in Manizales. i had to give a talk too. i talked about Mosiah 18 and DyC 15. i think it went well.. after about 20 mins the stake counselor put a paper on the pulpit that said "ya es su tiempo Elder" in other words "stop taking and sit down" hahaha it was embarrassing. but the pres talked and it was REALLY good. super motivational for the people here i think. and then this morning we had interviews with him. more compliments on my Spanish. i was super happy about that. my mission president really is awesome. its easy to feel his love when he talks. i hope my investigators feel the same way when i teach them.

not sure what else to say. i'm learning some Portuguese from an RM that served in Brazil. its not too hard haha its a lot like Spanish and i already new a little bit from living with Tragante a year ago... TIME IS FLYING!

i love you guys and miss you guys soo much. youre all in my prayers. stay happy for me. and study the scriptures daily. do what God expects of you. He loves you and knows whats best :)
