E-mail Arrival: July 13, 2016, Hola from Bogota, Columbia
Hola mi familia!!
I am doing fantastic here in Bogota. The
country is amazing and beautiful.
So a quick update about my day. Yesterday we
arrived at the Bogota airport at 9:45 PM, and we were placed on a bus with
native missionaries. In my district there are 11 of us elders, all going to the
South mission. They are all amazing, and such studs!
My companion is Elder
Duerden from Bountiful, and it has been great learning with all of these
amazing elders. I will send pictures later, as I do not have a lot of time. one
cool experience was while we were on the bus, we were conversing with the
native companions in a version of Spanglish, and we all sang hymns on the way
to the CCM in our native tongue. what a great spiritual experience.
We have
native companions in our dormitorios, so we are being introduced to the
language really quick. It has been a fantastic time. A quick food report
for breakfast is that the fruit is delicious. I have discovered that i really
like papaya. Anyway, i am loving this opportunity, and love the MTC.
My
preparation day is Tuesday, so it will be a while before i email back. I love
you all, thanks so much for all the love and support.
adios por seis
dias.
love,
Elder Parson
P.S. the weather is fantastic, a solid 50 degrees, could not
be better.
