Fun Transfer, Fun Lessons, Fun Times!

 Hello, friends and family! The last week of the transfer was a blast, hope you're ready to hear about it!

Wednesday: District activities were great! With one set of missionaries we went on the same hike to paradise falls so that they could all fish, and it was still really pretty and I enjoyed it. Then for the other activity we had a puzzle competition, unfortunately my team did not complete the puzzle the fastest... But it was still really fun! Then we stopped by a sweet lady named Sue, she has a pet tortoise that was awesome, we gave her a Plan of Salvation and she's down to learn more!

Thursday: Crazy day! We knocked into Liz, who didn't seem too fond of us at first, but the The Spirit worked on her. She took a Book of Mormon, and we set up a time to go back tonight, hopefully that goes really well! We also were able to download the gospel library on a recent converts phone, she loves it, and has listened to 20+ chapters since having it on her phone!

Friday: Busy day, felt weird because we were without Elder McKenzie for the day. But it was a great day all around. Had a good service to get me awake in the morning. Then an awesome lesson with our friend Gary. He loved learning about our premortal life and learning the truth that we are sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father! Then we had a great visit with one of our recent converts Brizeida, she is super sweet and has an amazing testimony for being so young! We also met Petra, who is very humble and looking for hope, so we are stopping by this week for an uplifting message!

Saturday: We had an amazing combined comp study with some other Elders, and had a great discussion about our potential to live with God again! Then we went boothing. I was a little skeptical at the idea, but it worked! We found Erick, who speaks Spanish, and we had a lesson with him and the Hermanas yesterday! Also gave out a couple of pamphlets to a kid that is friends with members, and we heard from other missionaries that the kid we gave them too is wanting to learn more!

Sunday: Our testimony meeting was really good! I stood up and testified of the Book of Mormon, the power that it contains, and the blessings that come when we follow its teachings! We were part of a stake meeting about missionary work that was informative!

Monday: Had a great district council about how God is our loving Heavenly Father, the blessing it is to know that, and the importance of teaching our friends. Then we did a lot of planning, and studies. Then we went park hopping, started teaching Fernando and got back in contact with a guy named Randy!

Tuesday: Had an awesome service handing out food. That evening we had our lesson with the Hermanas. The whole lesson was in Spanish, I understood bits and pieces, but from what they told us, he is very interested and will be baptized pretty soon! Then we met a kid named Esteban in the park, he is looking to grow closer to God, so we're going to help him with that!

We got transfer news today and I am staying in the trio with both of my companions for the next 6 weeks!!
