Week 54, Colby - Being in the Flow

me vibing in the sunshine while it was raining

Well this past week was super great. We taught Lots of people and really helped the members with some of their problemas that they shared with us. I'm grateful for that. 

I don't have much time to write this so I will only include the best things.

I saw the comet in the sky! Every time I look on the expanse of the heavens and see the stars and the moon and now a comet I can't help but feel deep love and appreciation towards my Heavenly Father. He is the grand author of the universe, the King of heaven and it is evident by these works. Truly all things denote there is a God.

I also fried some chicken wings. So that was good. It was my first time and I had to wear a winter coat and oven mitt for fear of getting burned by the oil. It all worked out though. They tasted good.

These past weeks I have received more revelation about myself and how the spirit works than in all the rest of my mission combined and I'm so grateful for that. I have come to know the Lord better and how to be worthy of the spirit. Elder Bednar calls it "being in the flow." How grateful I am to have received the gift of the Holy Ghost and be able to receive constant guidance and invigorating influence from his hand.

I wish the best for all of you :)
Adios!

Week 8, Pueblo Nuevo Viñas

Image
I’m going to start off this week’s blog with a funny little story.   Elder Walbom mentioned how they are teaching English every week to those who are interested in Pueblo Nuevo Viñas.   This past week they had a spelling bee, and he said that they were really bad at spelling English words.   But then he said they all got a huge laugh when he told them how he was down to the final 3 students in his spelling bee in 6 th grade, but lost on the word “fajita.” They thought that was pretty funny! The first pic above is Elder Walbom drinking out of a bag.  The water they have to drink (because missionaries from the U.S. aren't allowed to drink the water there) comes in bags, and they don't have water bottles yet, so they just rip off a corner and drink out of the bag.  T hey went fishing last week during their P-day and Elder Walbom  caught the first fish!   They were using string tied to a bamboo pole!   He did say it was a bit diffi...

Week 22, Primero de Julio - Quema Del Diablo!!

 " The family where the kid got baptized a month ago and the  dad got baptized two weeks ago more or less.  They are super Pilas!" Here is Elder Walbom’s weekly email: Well folks, This week was the burning of the devil. We were just going about our daily business, we knew that this day was a holiday but we didn-t know what would happen. Well exactly at 6 pm on the dot the explosions started. And most of it was not fireworks, it was literal firecrackers that made car alarms go off, hurt my ears, made me jump and punched my chest. Honestly I didn-t feel safe walking the streets at that time. Then the fire. The devils went up in flames and every corner had a big fire where the devil burned. Its supposed to be a catholic tradition round these parts. It was super interesting. On another note, the people here really like fireworks, more than any other group of people I have met. We also had a super sketchy situation this week. W...

Week 73, Great Bend - Thanksgiving and Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Image
Wow, a lot has happened since last I messaged. Let's see. First, we started and finished a music video! I'm singing Silent Night and it's going to be posted on Facebook in the coming weeks so watch out for that. We were able to get a member, Brother Hills, to help with recording with his equipment so we were super thankful for that.  Next, transfers happened. We all got transferred out of Colby so we were super sad about that. I love those elders, and the members we were able to meet, so much. I am now in Great Bend, Kansas. It's basically smack dab in the middle of the State. My new companion is Elder Miller. We had Thanksgiving as a new district here in Great Bend. We got to know each other a bit and played some games together. The food was good and lots of members gave us food. We did have cranberry sauce for the Turkey which I was very happy about :) Also, we did some service digging up sweet potatoes for a lady who lives in a house that used to be a bank in the 191...
