Wowowowowow,
so this week I have no idea where to begin. We have seen so many miracles this
week and it has been a week of just go go go go.
To
start it off, Bogota is awesome! It is definitely a different culture. Here the
people are a little less receptive to hear missionaries and mostly tend to stay
in their houses at all times. But it has been so awesome to be contacting with
Elder Sorbonne. We have been doing so many different things to find new
investigadores, from trying to train investigadores to share the gospel with
their friends, to going out contact with the members, to giving out candy with
questions on the candy. It has all been super fun.
This
week I had two intercambios: one with Elder Masarreli from Brasil and one with Elder
Lutdke from California. I had a blast with those two Elderes. We had all of the
citas fall through so we ended up contacting for a fair amount of time but it
was super fun. We touched doors, contacted a lot in the streets, and looked for
less actives. I was amazed by how diligent those Elderes were. They were always
touching doors between the citas and just super excited to find some new
investigadores.
One
amazing blessing we experienced this week happened late at night. Just before 8:00 we had
the feeling to look for a less active in a neighborhood. We just started
to look and we found ourselves with an old contact that Elder Sorbonne had
found. We were able to teach him and he is such an amazing man. He was a
professional chef and had given all of his money to do food kitchens and
help other people. He was so ready to hear the message and accepted the
invitation to be baptized in the first lesson.
I am so grateful to the Lord for
giving me this opportunity to serve in this amazing area with an amazing
companion.
I love you all.
