Week 11

So yes. I will stay in the middle of the jungle, but I will get a new companion. His name is Elder Acevido, or something like that and he's from Bogota Columbia. I think Cuchabomba, near where grandma and grandpa served!! so thatll be fun. I met him once 6 weeks ago. He was just training another gringo that was in my zone in the mtc.

So i finally jmade a scripture case out of a cereal box. I looked down, and it said TRIX centered across the top. It was for my triple combination. It made me laugh. A lot. haha The scriptures are true.

I recieved my second package. plus a few letters. I'm not exactly sure what the notebooks are supposed to be for… Yes, that was a joke. Im very happy!

My most spiritual experience happened yesterday. We gave the Aaronic preisthood to two of the men that were baptized last week. I'm sorry, I still cant send any pictures of them, but one of them has had a real problem with alcohol, and has been almost deathly ill for the past montha nd hasnt taken alcohol the whole time, so its really a blessing. And now hes starting to get better,a dn theres just a new light in his eyes. I dont know. It was really spiritual, and I was very happy to be able to be in the circle for them.

Sleeping last night was a beezy. It was probalby 100 degrees, and we didnt have any power, so there was no moving air. I was sweating like there was no tomorrow. It was awful

I got to spend a couple days with the zone leaders in encarnacion, and it was freaking fun. it was SO nice to finally talk to someone in english, and theyre both obsessed with sports, too, so that rocked.

But otherwise, I'm loving it!! The gospel is true!!
