So
this week was awesome. The Lord has blessed me so much and I am so grateful for
the opportunity to serve a mission.
For most of this week, I was in Bogotá during an intercambio with the Zone
leaders. They are such studs and it is so awesome to have them has my leaders.
My
new companion is Elder Callejas from Venezuela. This is way rare, he is the
only missionary from Venezuela in all my mission. He was the assistant
for 8 months and I am so lucky to be serving with him, he is a
stud!!!!!!!!!!!

This
week we were able to have a Christmas party with all of the mission. It was way
awesome! I was able to see the members from my district who were in the CCM,
they are such studs. I love them so much and it was so cool to see them.

I just want to focus the little portion on an awesome spiritual experience this
week. My companion had the great idea to fast this week as we have a goal of 4
baptisms this transfer and we are trying to complete it. We had a lot of
investigators who said they would come to sacrament meeting and two of them
did. Their names are Gloria and Edilberto Rodriguez, and they are awesome. The wife actually called my companion and said that she had been reading the Book
of Mormon and was loving it. We had kinda dropped them because they weren't
progressing. And then at the end of church we realized that another of our
investigators had come during all of church and we just hadnt noticed. She is
a former investigator but wants to get married and to learn more about the
church. Another part-member family came to church that we have never met but
they live in our area. And while we were visiting a less active member,
we found out his girlfriend had been coming to church for a month and
wanted to investigate the church. We had 5 people at church which which is the
most I have ever had. I love food so much, but the power of fasting is
real!
I
love you guys so much. I hope you have a fantastic week and remember the
amazing birth of our Savior.
