Hola queridos!! How is everyone doing!!
So this week we have changes! And I have been told that I will be going to big city of Montevideo! Que loco!
It is going to be a super change for me because my first 2 areas have been little neighborhoods and full of fields and vacas haha. The trees will be replaced by buildings and the vacas will be replaced by cars and motos haha, but i am super excited and bummed out at the same time. I have been having to say goodbye to all the awesome members and investigators this week, and it was a little bit sad, but I know I have left them in the good hands of Elder Vargas. I have learned a lot from my chileno, we would always push each other to work harder and even sometimes we would butt heads, but I love him like a brother. We had some of the funniest, strangest, most spirtual moments together.
My new comp will be Elder Delgado! He is from Peru (4 straight latino comps)! And this is his last change in the mission, so I will be killing him (mission talk) haha. I have heard he is a super awesome elder, so I let you guys know in a week hehe. I have also heard nothing but greats things about my area, they say the bishop and mission leader there are super awesome, but after having the best mission lider in the mission (Hermano Camargo) it will be pretty hard to beat. Almost all of my area is pure city and playa
(beach) and the church is found in a big building, so that should be pretty interesting.
A little short cool experience that we had this week happened while we were walking in the streets contacting. We were talking with a family in front of a house and while we were talking the vecino
(neighbor) across the street said heyy! when your done over there, could you come by my house to talk?! This only happenes like never, but in the mission it has happened twice (watts luck.) So we went over to talk with him, and he was super awesome and nice and he couldnt stop saying 'I was evangelico for 25 years, is it okay that I am talking with you guys!?' We said yeah there's no problem! Then we asked what made him want to talk with us, and he said I have always wanted to talk with the missionaries, but my wife never let me. And then we asked, so your wife knows you are talking with us now, and he said no, she died….I guess the lord works in many ways. We also had the second lesson with him and he loved the Book of Mormon and then prayed about it the way we had taught him in the first lesson, he is super golden.
I just want to let you all know that I love you all you guys and for all the support you give me! I couldn't be happier carrying the name of Jesus Christ on my chest. Because when I carry His name, He carries my load. And not only for those missionaries, because last sunday we all took the name of Christ upon us. The promises of being faithful and obedient are endless. I know our Savior lives and that He lived not be served but to serve.
