Falta poco. falta poco..

we had a pretty miraculas week.. ignore my horrific spelling/english

the relief society pres in our ward gave us about 20 references and we have been finding tons of new people. we found this guy named Carlos whos suuuper cool and sooo ready for the gospel he accepts everything we teach, he went to church and wants to go on a mission a year after he gets baptized.... but after church yesterday we got some sad news... he is most likely moving to the coast tomorrow :( so he will get taught there... which is good. but i wish he would stay here.

we found another lady who is also super prepared. she loves the book of mormon and reads it a lot. and is set for baptism on the 28th. im super excited for her and cant wait to find more people.

we also have a couple less actives who are progressing a lot. one used to be primary president like 5 years ago and left the church when they released her.. she came for the first time since then yesterday and bawled during all the testimonys... i think we got her hooked :)

im super excited to be finishing the mission pero at the same time im a little upset because i feel like im finally really getting it. i dont struggle whatsoever with spanish or the lessons and i am enjoying working more than i ever have.

but i really do have tons of time to do what i love before i finish. so im grateful for that.

well guys i love you tons. remember the church is true and God loves us.

Volvì.

its so awesome to be back in Medellin. i do miss Manizales a ton. but i reall am loving it here.

my comp is so awesome. he has changed a lot since last year when i lived with him for 4 months. he is probly one of the most loving missionaries i have met. we will probly only be together for 1 transfer because we both finish the mission in july and its not likely the we are both eachothers last compaion. if they do that then they will have to put 2 new missionaries in the area... but we`ll see.

its so awesome here. a little hot. but we have tons of people to work with. good people. we have found so many people who are ready for the gospel. Gods hand is in all the work we do. i know it. i really wish i could go into more detail but we dont really have a lot of time to write any more.. i will explain when i call in 2 weeks!

i love all of you and really hope you are doing good and staying strong and loving one another. i miss you all

not much to say... the less active we have been working with all transfer came to church again and is now rescued! i'm so happy for her. got a fair amount of work done.. it was pretty hot for a few days this week but got cold again Saturday and Sunday. 

got to go on exchanges with my Zone Leader Elder Crandall who has been with me since i started the mission. hes a cool guy. we played a lot of guitar. he finishes his mission in 6 weeks!! cant believe it.

well, sad news.. i'm not gonna be in my favorite place anymore.. got switched to Medellin again. so i'll be going back there tomorrow. to my 7th area. and my 13th companion will be Elder Alberto from perú. remember him? the one who lived my me and Wadley a year ago. hes an interesting guy. he just turned 28 this week. oldest missionary in the mission.. and he only has 2 transfers left too!

well, like i said not much.. ill let you guys know next week how the new area is.. and hopefully there will be more fotos.

Listo. had a pretty good week.

we had an AWESOME lesson with a less active we have been teaching. it was cool because we hadn't planned to visit her that day.. but it started raining hard as we passed by her house so we asked if we could wait out the rain with her.. and we just started talking and then teaching. we talked about lots of stuff. by the end of it she was bawling and it was hard not to get teary. she told us she really needed to hear a couple of the things we talked about and that she wasn't gonna miss another Sunday. and she came yesterday and was sooo happy. we went back to her house in the afternoon and she seemed so changed and happy. i love the gospel. i love what it can do for us if we really live it.

other than that it was a pretty slow week. we gotta find some new people this upcoming week cause the people we have aren't really progressing. its hard to get people to come to church here... but we are still working on it. and working really hard.

i'm left with so little time here i feel like i might not get done everything i need to. its weird, i thought getting close to the end was supposed to make you trunky haha. not that i don't think about home.. but i still have a strong desire to work. i love what i do.

i miss you guys. i really home all is going well back home and you guys are all good.

remember we have someone we can trust in for anything.

love you guys!!
