Semana de un Setenta y Translados

Bueno bueno bueno!

Este semana estaba muy lento.....haha. Like nothing went at all; I am serious. We only taught like 8 lessons and yeah - just a way slow week. Then transfers were this week, of course. So yeah, not too much. I was also sick! I have a cold or something or it’s my allergies. I’m pretty sure it’s a cold because my eyes are completely fine. Don't worry, I am fine. Sunday I had like food poisoning or something. I don't think Elder Stephenson cooked our fish all the way....before he fed it to me. That’s why I usually cook. But yeah, it was just a grand ole week! So I will get started on this letter.

Tuesday – I can't remember anything at all. We taught Soledad.....she feels like everyone hates her because she is holding Lorenzo back and stuff. Man, it wasn't the greatest lesson, so we are gonna give them their space and stuff. But yeah!

Wednesday - I seriously think nothing happened except we visited some less-actives this day. Like I said, the whole week was like this. It was raining and just gloomy a lot. So the days went the same way.

Thursday - We found out about transfers and such.(Brad and his companion are staying together in Grand Island) and we had dinner with Brother McCain. He is awesome. That’s where we go fishing. Our steaks weren't finished, so he said,.”Go fishing for a little bit while I cook.” So I cast like 15 casts and didn't get anything. I gave the pole to Elder Stephenson and he cast one cast and caught a 16 inch, large mouth, bass. I was like - are you serious? It was funny. I made him gut it though. It was cool. Then we ate some delicious man food and had good talk. After that, we went to the Catalan's and taught their son about the mission. We kind of had a bible study with some recent converts there too. It went really well. Elder Stephenson knows the Bible well, much better than I do. So that worked out.

Friday – We woke up and went to take the sisters to the transfer point. We had to stay there and help out. It was good to see all my buddies that were leaving the zone, especially Elder Burton. I will miss him. He is going up to Sioux City. So he went from the farthest west to the farthest east. I hope to see him again. Oh well. After that, we had some studies and some weekly planning. During the day, I can't remember anything, but we did teach a lady piano. It was good! So yeah!, not much.

Saturday - We would've gone and done service, but Elder Stephenson was sick!! So we stayed home until like 3, then we went and taught some people, and yeah....then we went to see Angel and invite him to the night activity. We showed up there and only Adalberto and Angel were there. We played around the world and had like a gospel discussion. It was good. I got 2nd place to a Mexican in basketball! Man, he was nailing shots left and right. I was sad...oh well. After that, we went and introduced ourselves to the Catalans sister and yeah, her husband had a huge ole cigar. Man, Cuban guy too. We only stayed for like 10 minutes, then left!

Sunday - I woke up coughing and throwing up and being sick.....so I just stayed in bed like all day until we left for Lincoln that night. We stayed at some old dude’s house with the ZLs. It was weird....and I got like 2 hours of sleep, which was really miserable!

Monday - So we showed up at the thing and just sat there for like 2 hours because they were late! Sister Kunz and President Kunz trained first on the Doctrine of Christ. It was really good. Then Sister Ellis got up and just talked about the mission and staying positive and doing your best. It was really good. I liked it a lot! Then Elder Ellis got up and talked for a good 3 hours! It was really long!, but it was really good. He spoke on having the Spirit of God in our work and making sure the investigators have it too. He gave a bunch of scriptures and everything. It was really good. I enjoyed it a lot. After it was all done, we stayed in Lincoln for like 3 more hours because some missionaries left with Elder Springer’s stuff and didn't come back until like 6. So we got home at like 8 last night. So we just stayed home. I was soooo tired! So we hit the hay!!

Tuesday – Today, we have some lessons with some less-actives. That’s all I know of. We might go fishing today. I am not sure!

Well, so I am very hopeful for this coming week! I think good things will happen this transfer. We just gotta keep going, ya know? It’s crazy how it’s almost October! Time flies like crazy! But things will pick up. I trust the Lord's judgment because he prepares the way for us and guides us to where and who we need to go to! I love this place so much. I am really happy I decided to serve a mission. Yes, I miss home. I always will. But there is nothing I love more than the spirit of this work that I am doing right now! I love you all so much and I hope you have a fantastical week! Love ya and miss ya!

Les quiero mucho!!


Vayan con Dios siempre!
