I ate expensive food for free, also baptisms - Calarcá, Colombia

HI! How are you, I'm doing great, thanks, ok good to know, yep, ok, bye.

No clue why I wrote that but there it is. Ok this week was good, lots of stuff about food, some of the stuff, good, some not as good. For lunch one day, a member gave us fish soup. by fish soup, I literaly mean FISH soup. there were two whole fish in it. they had the bones, skin, teeth, toung, fins, and EYES. Yes, I ate fish eyes. Also there were these weird shrimp looking things with eyes and legs too. I ate thoes also, not a lot of meat and the eyes tasted funny. Pictures below and more in the google photo thingy I sent last week or something. On the good side, this week I ate some expensive food for free. Not sure exactly what it is but a member cooked it for us. It's from Peru and I think it's called lomo salteado. It was pretty good tho. Other cool thing for the people that like avacado, thoes things are huge here. The normal ones are like 5" by 3" and if you look a bit you can find ones a lot bigger. They eat it a lot here.

WE HAD A BAPTISM THIS WEEK!!!

Juan Pablo and Valeria, the two kids that I talked about got baptized! We convinced the dad that he should baptize his kids because he was kind of scared and feeling bad because he was really inactive in the church for a while. After the baptism he was sooooooo happy tho, he said that he felt the spirit so much and that he hadn't felt the spirit like that in a long time. Now his goal is to go to the temple with his family and be sealed to his wife and 3 kids.

Ok I'm already out of time so I'll just send this here. :)

OH YA! My brother Evan graduated so congrats! Ok ahora si.

Hola I bought more ties :) - Calarcá, Colombia

Ok solo 4 but still, they are super cool. Not that cool, but still. They were like $3, like actualy. I like el hueco :)

ANYWAY what happaned this week? No clue, also, no clue what happend last week or if I wrote last week. So you're getting the usual random nonsense that I end up writing. De nada :)

Okey dokey, what did we do this week? It was a pretty good week, all of our work contacting the last couple of weeks is starting to pay off. We have seen so many milagros this week. Most of them small, but all together, the week was amazing. It was a little tough at times, but great. One of my favorites was when we were walking to an appointment, I was in intercambios (not exactly sure what thoes are called in Ingles but with another elder, not my normal comp) and I felt like we should take a different path than normal. We were climbing the bajilion stairs that we have in our area when an old man stoped us and said that he was a member, but couldn't go to church because he had a bad leg, right about then, his ministering brother showed up and said that he had come to visit because the guy hadn't been to church in a while. We were able to give him a bendicion de salud and the next week he was able to come to church! It's absolutly amazing how the Lord uses us to fulfill his purposes, even when we don't know.

OH YA, Thursday and Sunday were borring becuase we had to stay in the house all day because there were these protest thingys going on. Not exactly sure why, it's just kind of a thing here. I didn't actualy see any protesting, it's normaly more in the center of Medellin, and our house is in a farther part, but it's ok. We just called a lot of people.

I like DyC. It's cool, I read a ton of it this week and there's a lot of cool stuff there, but the 2 verses I want to share today are in DyC 88:81-82, I found it yesterday :)

"81 Behold, I sent you out to testify and warn the people, and it becometh every man who hath been warned to warn his neighbor.

82 Therefore, they are left without excuse, and their sins are upon their own heads."

SHARE THE GOSPLE

ok yep

What else happend this week? No clue but just so you know, I'm not spell checking this or fixing anything so if no one understands this oh well, I wrote this in like 5 mins :)

Ok I'm out of time but anyway, mi punto es, the scriptures are cool, read them, enjoy them, study them, live them, all the other things, amen. :)

Adios!
