Semana 41: You Know The Routine

Image
Buenas dias from the great white North, I hope you all had a terrific week, things are going quite swell up here in this arctic paradise, we got a warm spell so that means -7 degrees and all the Canadians are wearing shorts haha We're gonna start off with a miracle: the Columbian Companion and I have been praying for some of our friends: Specifically to come to church. They'll be so nice and friendly in the lessons, say they'll come on sunday, and boom. Nothing. So Saturday night comes and I say my nightly prayer. Let me tell you when you read in Enos about "mighty" "muscular" and "great effort" when describing a prayer, that was elder  curtis  on saturday night. You might even say I had a wrestling match with Him haha. Then I promptly went to sleep. Woke up, went to church, only had one friend there. Sad. Then I prayed one more time during the sacrament, telling Him I accepted His will. Boom, sacrament meeting ends and 8 of our friends walk in...

Semana 40: Bautismo(s)

Short but sweet Ronald and Santiago got baptized. I almost cried it was so awesome. They've come so far! Pictures attached. Elder Ospina is my favorite Columbian ever. Just having a blast. Found a Guatemalteco family. Gonna put them on date soon. Missions are the best! Spiritual thought: Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God 11 For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him. Your soul matters because He suffered for you. Missions are important because people's souls have great worth. I love you all! Don't be a stranger! Elder Curtis I love these people:

Semana 39: Esperando Para Los Bautismos...

So gang I have some bad news, unfortunately jahir did not get baptized this Saturday, idk what is happening up there in Lago Lindo but I know this is the Lord's work and it's all in his timing so we'll see this Saturday. Anyway probably one of the best weeks of my life so far cause ME AND ELDER OSPINA ARE RUNNING IT BACK!! That's right, round 2 of Rio Vista with the Columbian. We got some crazy goals out here for the transfer, plus it's a short one (5weeks is like two seconds out in the mission field) so we going absolutely bonkers this month, incredibly stoked, words can't describe how much.  But yea also side note for those of you who have been following the tale of elder Curtis for a while will remember the name, "Elder Garibaldi......" so yea he's in the other companionship of Rio vista, it's quite strange to see him again, I feel like I've grown up so much since training. Ronald y Santiago=  (thumbs up) for this Saturday! We had a nice...

Bueeeeeenas que más mis parceritos  Well this week got some wack news: my friend Jahir up in Lago Lindo is getting baptized this Saturday! And he asked me to perform the ordinance. Goin back to my roots. I will keep you all posted with pics. Crazy to think how far Jahir has come. We've been teaching him since october and he's finally come around. In other news, all of our friends here in Río Vista are just goin through the ringer. Whether it's marriage, money, or work problems Satan is trying his hardest to make it difficult for them to accept the gospel. Buuuuuut like the title of the email says, we have a little secret: the solución! We have the answer to every problem, concern, issue, and inconvenience that these people have in their lives. If your wondering what it is, there's a little talk by a living prophet on the earth today titled: The Answer is Always Jesus Christ. Highly recommend, top tier, absolutely fire. Our friends Ronald and Santiago are progressing, th...
