HOLA TODOS

Hello Everyone,

Well, another p day with not a ton of time to write everyone for the
week but oh whale, it is what it is.

This week was pretty mellow.  A little too mellow for our likings but
that's alright, because we are hoping to bounce back this week with
some more lessons. They are cutting the transfers short by a week so
there is a little change that I will be leaving the islands next week
which makes me super super sad, but I doubt it, I'll probably stay for
one more, or at least I hope.  That would probably be the max though.

I think the best experience this week was when we went to our
investigators house from Colombia on Tuesday morning.  As we entered
the house and sat down to start talking, they started playing this
Spanish music with this speaker super loud and starting bringing out
all of these Spanish instruments and playing them in front of us.  We
had no clue how to react to that as missionaries jajaja but it was
pretty funny.

As far as investigators, we went through our area book again and found
this super rad investigator.  His name is Guillermo and he's from
Africa.  He speaks French and Spanish and his African Native Language.
He's 23 and super amable and friendly. We passed by, and the doorbell
to his apartment building was broken.  We started to walk away but
looked up, and from the top floor, he was sticking his head out of the
window.  He told us he would come down.  He did and he let us go up to
his piso, where we were able to teach him a super powerful lesson on
the plan of salvation. It was a neat experience for us.

One thing I realized this week in my studies is how much of a blessing
it is for us to have the Book of Mormon in our lives. The Book of
Mormon really is a testament of Jesus Christ.  Not only does it help
us to know that this really is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints, but as we read it and apply it to our lives, it helps us
to become more and more like the Savior.  It is a sacred book that
brings us closer to HIM. I'm so grateful for the role it plays for me
in my life.

Have a legit week everyone
