Week 14 or 3 Months!

Well hello everyone, how are you all doing? Life is pretty dang good here in Medellin Colombia. I am killing it and having a blast here. This week was a pretty normal week, no one slapped me in the face or blessed me this week. So I can say that it was pretty normal. We did have quite a few lessons and it was pretty good. Anyways one day we woke up and ate arrepa with cheese and eggs. And then with hot chocolate. I have loved this breakfast every single day that we have been able to get it. It is suuuuper good. But yeah, other days we wake up and drink a thing called kumis with cereal, its like yogurt but a little sour. Well there is a little insight on our food that we eat here. Its awesome.

I also hit 3 months this week! Its crazy to think I have been gone so long! Also I am getting pretty good at soccer and we get to play it every Monday! Its awesome. And no one can pronounce my name so they call me Elder Gabri or Elder Gabriel. Its pretty great.

Anyways, this week we had to drop two of our baptismal dates with Jessica and Erika because they didn't go to church. And they promised us they would go. But its alright, we are going to move their date to the 7th of April. We really hope that they will go to church so that we can get them baptized in April. But that was an event that happened this week. We have about 7 or 8 baptismal dates set for this week. 

Also we met a really cool girl from Hermana Jennifer (Which is my friends mom from Murray!!) Her name is Hermana Rosa and we had a family home evening with her in the Stake Presidents house, and with Hermana Jennifer. The Presidents family put everything together and they shared a message about hope and church. She really loved it and she started crying and so did a few other people maybe including me. Haha but it was really good! I shared a simple testimony about hope and how we need to have faith to know that our Heavenly father can help us through challenges and he is always their for us. I talked about Spanish and said it can be difficult sometimes but I know that he is always their for us when we are down or struggling. Hermana Rosa really was excited to know more about the church and we had a really good time. It was a night full of the spirit and full of emotions. But Elder Wilson invited her to baptism and she said why not! We have a lesson with her this Thursday and we plan to set a date for the 24th of this month. We are very excited for this opportunity to teach her and help her through her challenges. But she has a lot of potential. We had a few other lessons this week but not much exciting news to share about those. We are really going to push ourselves hard this week because we want to hit our goals and help everyone hear this gospel!
