HOla Familia!
I`m leaving to Cartegena Colombia.
So we`ll see how this goes. Elder Jorge is from Argentina i think and he seems awesome. I met him my first night here and seen him once since so we`ll see what a team we make. .
Moisès is going to be baptized this saturday. i won`t be there. dang. but he has made some real progress and is totally awesome and just good. and prays really fervently.
Dario his family is becoming awesome. su hija caterina is awesome and bringing friends to church and inviting her mom even though she struggles to understand the book of mormon and just his wife is a bit of a booger and refuses to come to church but it`s getting better.
i also found something out about myself this week. I really do know this church is true. because if i didn`t know that it was, i would not be here in Colombia. it`s my conviction to the gospel that has kept me here. i think that is part of the point of missions. is that it proves to yourself that you do KNOW: i couldn`t and wouldn`t do it if i didn´t know that church was true. so that was cool for me to see like a living testimony to myself. i think there are a lot of times like that when we do stuff and we don't realize or label it as an act of faith, or demonstration of testimony, it`s just something we felt like we should do and did. i like that. just do it, you can label it later.
I also read a talk by Utchdorf that was chèvere. it talks about being committed. and two boys a top a cliff and they want to jump and the one was about to jump and his brother said, maybe we should wait, but it was too late. he said, brother, i`m committed.
how cool is that? he couldn`t stop and if he had tried he would have probably belly flopped and died. just either be committed and do it or don`t but don`t trip yourself up midway and suffer the worst consequence, of a belly flop. so there you go. i´m committed. therefore i`m in Colombia trying to make the jump successful. luckily i have a long way to fall so even if a stumbled in the jump, there is still time for a quadruple gainer swan dive entry no?
I love you all. next week from Cartagena!
HOla Familia!

the ward let us know of another familia who is inactive for a long time but the dad came last sunday and we taught them last night and it was SWEET the mom, who had been kind of hard hearted was loving it. and we sang and then left and were late getting back to the house. so bad we are. but we did our best and it was sweet!
