Staying

Things have been really good on my end, We got the transfers and I'm staying in the area but my companion is leaving. It's pretty sad he has been a really good friend, and has helped me grow a lot as a person I was hoping that we would stay together. But now I'm with Elder Forsyth, from Ceder City Utah. hahaha I met him a long time ago in Girardot, he started the mission six weeks after me. But he's a really good guy and has been Zone leader for a little longer than me so I bet there's a lot I can learn from him. But we jut got here like 3 hours ago so we are just barely starting to get to really know each other. Hope all is well. I love you all.

Still Waiting On The Marriage

Well this week was a little hard because we couldn't find very many people, but it was a really cool to see people at church yesterday. We are not sure if that family is going to get married this week or the next, things are weird here in Colombia, you can't just get married, you have to plan a cita (appointment) way in advance so we are looking to see if we can have someone do us a favor or we'll have to wait a week longer. I hope not because this week is combos (transfers) again. Who knows what will happen this time! Only another 2 1/2 transfers before I will be home.  It's kind of weird and scary to think about all at the same time. Well I gotta go.  I love you all!

Getting a Family Married :)

Things have been really good here, I had my very best week ever here in Bogota, we found 11 new people to teach, and we had two people going to church. And it gets even better we are going to get a family married!! I want to ask the family a favor, my companion's really struggling with his clothing  the first time we were together he told me how poor his family is but it never showed. But know with time in the mission his clothes are falling apart. We talked to the mission and they have shirts and pants for him, but I was wondering if you could send me money to buy him shoes. The shoes he has have holes and are way too small for him I dont know what we can do but I'd like to get him some nice ones he can wear for the rest of his mission! I don't know if I'll be able to write dad very much for his Birthday but let him know I love him and that we'll have a good 6 months together when I get home to catch up on all our shows and work together everyday!  I love you all very much!
