wellllllLLLlLlLLLLLLllLl Howdy! I hope your week was a lot less crazy than mine!
First
of all, TRANSFERZZZZZ! Transfers are supposed to be in like 3 weeks but
because of some stuff that went down in other areas they transfered me
and took me away from Zipa on Friday morning. I was SO BUMMED. They took
me away from my investigators, my child (Elder Galleguillos still had 3
weeks left of training), and my birthplace (of the mission). It was a
very sad morning, but now I´m working in an area called San Luis! It is a
pueblo on the side of a mountain in Bogotá and it is super cool. They
have an awesome branch with a weekly attendance of about 90 in a tiny
chapel-house. It is so great. There are some wonderful people here. My
new comp´s name is Elder Chauque and he is from Argentina and is really
cool. Also fun is that my comp and I are opening an area! San Luis has
never had 4 missionaries, so we have to find our way around this maze of
a pueblo and find investigators and live the good life! Also, President
said he might let me go back to Zipa in a few weeks to see a baptism of
a family that we were teaching and was gonna get baptized the
31st!!!!!!! That would just be splendid!!!!!
FUN FACTS:
- About 2 weeks ago, Elder Lamb
who was in Zipa with us taught me how to solve a Rubix Cube. I now can
solve it in less than 2 minutes and the other day I did it one-handed in
about 8.5 minutes. STILL A NERD AND LOVE IT
- Gabriel (from Zipa, the super cool old guy) got cooler in my
eyes. The other day Elder Galleguillos and I realized that he basically
is the old guy from the movie Up. Also he fixes umbrellas. Also he
watches Lassie. Also he has a giant rifle in his house that is almost
taller than he is.
- Ryan Balzer, homie from FV, is in my same district here now after the transfers. HOLLAAAAA
- One of the counselors in our Branch Presidency here in San Luis looks just like the lead singer of The Format/Fun.
- I MADE AREPAS AND THEY WERE DELICIOUS
- If you ever
wondered why the song All You Need is Love by The Beatles sounds a bit
off rhythmically, it is because it switches from 7/8 to 8/8 a bunch of
times and is awesome. (I heard it on a bus, calm down hahha)
Also wow Preach My Gospel is so good. READ AND ENJOY
Also
I saw a video of the last testimony of Gordon B Hinkley in a chapel in
England and it is so powerful I cried no joke. Look it up, yo. It is
from May 25, 2005
Well time is short and I have a pueblo to teach. I hope all of you are doing well and life is treating you great!
With an excessive amount of love,
Elder Pratt
P.S. SHOUT OUT TO JORDAN SMITH REYNOLDS WHO GETS HOME FROM HIS MISSION THIS WEEK
