Hi, I'm in a bus and I finaly have time to write a little bit, ya ya ya I know I haven't written in forever but ah well. I'll calculate stars when I get back to our area, but a lot more people sent some good stuff.
I have no clue what I wrote about the last time so if I repeat random stuff oh well.
I my new companion is Elder Mendez, he is from Bogotá, he has 18 months in his mission, I'm remembering already saying this so I'll skip ahead, uuuuummmmmmmm IDK. Ok so these last few weeks have been good, we are here now so I'll try to write more later lol

OK my companion is getting a hair cut so I have a little more time to write, these last few weeks have been good, our area is progressing we still don't have a person on date but a couple of people are close, we've been working a lot with members too because our branch is tiny and could close literaly at any time. Our goal is 50 people in the chapel my last week here, it'll be tough because right now we have about 25 to 30 people on a good day but we'll see. Also I'm not sure why but right now we have a lot of people that are like super invested in another religion. Like we have a catholic minister, a séptimo día youtuber, and a person that doesn't know what religion he believes in but he believes in the Bible and basically has it memorized and has these realy weird ideas about everything he reads. The good news is that the second two are actualu really interested in our message. The second guy read over half of the Book of Mormon in between our first and second lessons so that was cool. OH YA fun fact, I can now say that a youtuber with a silver play button invited me to have lunch at his house twice lol :)
OK shoutouts.
MY COUSIN WHITNEY GOT HER MISSION CALL like 3 weeks ago, I know I know I'm horrible at writing sorry :) She will be serving in the California, Anaheim mission and her first four months she will be serving in the Mormon battalion historic site. She starts MTC March 21 Congrats Sister Anderson! :)
I feel like there was one more but I honestly forgot so I'd some thinks they deserves a shoutout for something write me and I'll put you in next week lol.
Today we went to Salento which is a touristic town in our area with our zone. It was cool and I'll sent photos if I remember. Also we met a random gringo from California whose parents are from India and is visiting Colombia and Europe because ya, why not. So he hung out with us all day and didn't understand anything when we were talking spanish so that was fun. Ok yep.
SPIRITUAL THOUGHT TIME!!!
Keep the commandments and the blessings will come. We have had a lot of people in this area that have a realy strong desire to learn more about the gosple and improve their lives, a lot of them also have had a hard time keeping the commandments when they learn about them. At times life can be dificult, at times we can have challenges or be scared to do what we need to do, at times it can be hard to start something new. Sometimes the gosple of Jesus Christ is easy to follow, and some times he asks us to do things that put us out of our comfort zone. A lot of people, whether they are just learning about the gosple or have lived it for years, have "that one little thing" that they know they need to do better but they don't. It could be going to church, reading the scriptures, keeping the word of wisdom. But when we act in faith, I say we because everyone can improve, the miracles will come. I've seen it over and over again in my mission. I invite all of you to find the one thing, if you want find more than one thing. But find it. And when you find it, pray for the help to change it. But do it.
Okey dokey, my compañero is done with his haircut so adiós
