Hey!
Its weird having to add the other Elder Webster's email to
this list now. I can't believe it. Well happy 4th of July! We definitely
celebrated it here. We ordered some food, got out a US flag and sang the
national anthem a few times. Haha we made the Colombian we live with film it
all for us:) And the 9th of July is the independence day here, so I guess we'll
be celebrating that next week too!
We've had a pretty good week. Pretty interesting. Our old
President and his wife, the Ávilas, left this week, and we're working with
Presidente and Hermana Goates now. I guess it is a pretty cool time to get to
be in the offices. Not many missionaries get to have a lunch with 2 of their
mission presidents at the same time. The Goates seem way nice and excited to be
here. They're pretty humble and want to learn everything about everything as
soon as possible. I'm excited to get to know them better.
Other than that, everything is going pretty good. Still
trying to get used to be in the offices. Lots of pros and cons. And its a lot
different from being in my last area, middle of nowhere. But its good. All the
Elders in here are pretty cool, and they've all either been here forever or
they're going to be here forever, so its kind of an interesting dynamic. Okay,
not forever, but knowing you'll be in an area for like 6 months feels a little
like forever.
So verse of the week, 3 Nephi 28:4-9. I read that week and I
liked it a lot. To think that those 3 men wanted to be able to serve others so
much, that they wanted to be able to do it forever. Sometimes it seems hard to
go serve for 2 years, but to think that we should be able to love helping
others so much that the service we should want to give can't all be done in one
lifetime. Kinda makes you think about whether or not its even a sacrifice to go
serve for just 2 years.
Well, thats about it. Haha I feel like I do the same thing
every day in the offices, so I don't really know what else to tell you, but I
hope you have a great week!

decided to finally buy a souvenir or two)
