Week 83!!!

Hey Everyone!

 

This week was fast and kind of a blur!  It was good!  I am really trying to remember what happened though!    Transfers came up again. Pretty sure last week I forgot to say don't send me letters, but that's okay cuz I am not moving anyways.  But, Elder Cuello is moving to Cerritos. The area next to my last one!   I am getting a new companion named Elder Nanto.  The only thing I know about him is he is white, his Spanish could use a bit of work, and they describe him as a panda.  Not sure what that means, but I am looking forward to working with him!

 

We had kind of a cool meeting this week, President Tew called all the non native Spanish speakers to have a specialized Spanish training.  It was mainly geared to the newer missionaries, but I still learned a lot of really good things.  I really do LOVE Spanish and the Spanish culture.  No offense to any of you, but they are a lot cooler than white people.  :)    It really is just so much fun!  They have such a different outlook on life!  It is sooo laid back except for work time and party time!   I had kind of a crazy experience in this.  One of the Ap's trained us on learning the culture. He shared a few mission experiences and how much he loves it here.  He has been out the same time is me.  It hit me really hard that I don't have allot of time left.  It really sucks!   I'm really really going to miss this place....      Now its just time to sprint to the finish!!   This point of my mission really came a lot faster then I ever thought it would. And usually at about right now, people start trunking out.  I'm really not all that trunky though.  :) 

 

Alma 5:21 reads "I say unto you, ye will know at that day that ye cannot be saved; for there can no man be saved except his garments are washed white; yea, his garments must be purified until they are cleansed from all stain, through the blood of him of whom it has been spoken by our fathers, who should come to redeem his people from their sins."  I found this scripture the other day.  I really like it.   Only through repentance can we be saved. There really is no other way.  So allow Jesus Christ to help you be clean so you can be saved and have an eternal family.

 

Love you all lots!
