Anyway, my life
is a craziness. Today, two really good buddies who have been here in
Yopal with me for a while and in other areas with me and close by, are
finishing the mission. Tonight, they are traveling to Bogotá and this
weekend they go back. It is like suuuper weird, but you just kinda go
with it. I have know them both since like I started and now they are
going home. It makes me feel oldish sometimes.... BUT they are the
losers because their time ran out and I still got time to cook, BOOM!
This
week, in a lesson with a famliy, we asked the 13 year old son (who was
NOT paying attention), "Why do we go to church?" He looked up fast and
said, "Becauuuuuuuuuuuuuse JESUS!" SOLID ANSWER but I remembered that
show Kids Say the Darndest Things like instantly. I LOVE YOU; BILL
COSBY.
Yesterday, we had a bunch of people go
to church for the first time which was SICK we were suuuuper pumped
especially because their was a special satellite conference for Colombia
and it was super cool BUT we live in Yopal where internet in general in
just like a failure so this signal was like coming and going for like
the whole thing and it makes it super hard to focus and stuff but that´s
okay, the parts we did hear were super awesome. Elder Holland tore it
up along with Elder Nash, Sister Wixom, and Elder Pino.
(Random
thought: sometimes amidst my grammar errors in English due to my Latin
life, I remember things. Like right now I just remember oxford commas,
such a dilemna that even Vampire Weekend wrote a song about it. I am a
fan of Oxford commas and they aren´t a thing in Spanish and it makes me
sad. But it´s okay. I guess.)
I swear my life
isn´t as boring nowadays as I probably make it sund in my letters,
telling really lame stories that make me laugh just because I´m tired,
but I swear that my life is stilll crazy and cool and for real I can say
that coming and staying on a mission is one of the best life-choices
I´ve made to this point. I love it here so much and I just love my
colombian life. So many weird things happen daily that are just so
normal to me that are like crazy and/or illegal in the states and I just
love it, like playing frogger on big streets, like buying bootleg
"nike" jerseys, like playing micro football every monday, like sleeping
on my chinchorro every night, etc. And that is without mentioning the
just the gratifying feeling that I get serving the people. I just love
ti when I can start to see the little changes they are making in their
lives and it makes me just fel so happy. life is good, my friends. Life
is good.
I hope this is the best week ever in your entire life, or at least you can see it that way!
