Jan. 19, 2015 This week in the Galapagos!
This week has gone by pretty fast but kind of slow here too!! It's been good and everything, but also been pretty dang hard! Well, as you know, I just got called to be the district leader here in the Galapagos! Which is kind of fun! I have to talk to a lot of people and have to give talks and encourage them! Which means my Spanish needs to be like perfect... ha ha so it's been a little hard but that's okay! I gave my first one this Saturday to the zone. I hope it went well! I talked about the church and we did a little bonding activity which didn't go too well, but everybody was laughing! I felt the spirit while I was teaching so I hope they did too! I've felt your prayers!
I got a new companion he is from Argentina which is nice that I can keep working and getting better at my Spanish but this guy is super super new! I have to be learning a lot of patience and everything! He looks like Kyson Kidd, but he doesn't act like it! It's just been hard!!
This week has been good, we have 2 new people and baptism dates that we are working with! It was SUPER COOL!! We broke the record here in the Galapagos! I brought over 8 people, investigators to church! I was like ohh yeah!!!! It was the most in all the zone! I was proud, but it was all the Lord!!
This week we had the chance to bless 2 people by the power of the priesthood! I love using that great power that the Lord gives to his worthy men! We also gave a lesson to a person who speaks English! She was ateo! (Atheist) Which was way hard!! I am not used to people being ateo!!
Today we went to the HIGHEST point in the Galapagos!! It was awesome!! All of our shoes got super muddy! It was super fun!! I loved it! The other missionaries didn't, but I had a great time!! We've been waking up at 5:45 to go running everyday too!! ha ha so that's just great! haha I am just really tired! I am sorry, I'm just trying to do everything, and it's hard! But the lord is helping me through it all! Thanks for all your prayers! The Galapagos Islands are soo beautiful, like really I am always soo grateful for the chance to serve here in this beautiful country!! aver... I don't remember what I was going to tell you guys! I had a good week it's just been really hard! I Love you guys, and I thank you all for your support for me! I love you guys soo much!!
