CARLITOS........ HAPPY BIRTHDAY YA FELLER(tomorrow)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow...... where to start this week. I'll just start off by saying.... ELDER BOHNE IS THE MAN!!!! Man, I am so thankful for that guy. He is such a stud. He is an incredible missionary. I learn so much from him every single day. I've never seen a missionary with such strong desires to preach the gospel, and to do it with all the love in his heart. Its truly incredible, he has such a love for these people in his heart. I am learning so much from him every single day. He is incredible. Our first three days together were just an explosion!! It was so awesome! We had an incredible week, although we are having many struggles with investigators right now, we are still seeing so many miracles. I am just as happy as ever right now! Seriously I have never worked with so much unity and love. I have grown so much in these 7 days I've been with Elder Bohne. I know for a fact that I'm going to grow so much, and learn so much every single day.
So this week Elder Bohne and I have been findnig tons of new investigators. And have lost quite a few as well. Victor has kinda fallen away.... and same with Juanfran:( He went on vacation for the weekend, and came back and just wasn't the same... made me super sad, but we'll see! I'll keep you guys updated on him. He is the man, and I really hope he continues to progress! We visited a less active member named Aldo, and we met him and his family. He's the only member in the family.... but..... they aren't married..... and they don't get along.... like at all. But there raising a family together, so they are just kinda dealing with each other for the family's sake.... but they are just incredible. We have grown so close to them this past week. And sunday they ended up coming to church! It was great! The counselor that was... uh dirigiendo (I dont remember the english word).... gave a public welcome to them at the pulpit, it was awesome and they loved it! The branch here is doing great. Still have tons of room to grow, but they have so much potential as a branch. Something I just love are the hymns we sing.... #1 just imagine a bunch of spaniards singing..... #2 imagine spaniards singing without a pianist..... #3 imagine us all singing along to the hymn playing on the ipad hooked up to the sound system... I just die... .its the funniest thing ever. And every single time without fail the counselor forgets the push pause when we finish the hymn, so the following him just blasts and totally just creates an uncomfortable situation all around. hahahahaha. Its so great. I love it so much.
We are only speaking spanish, and I dunno.... I have super strong desires to just speak spanish for the rest of the mission. I love the language so much, and I need to get much better! At least with elder bohne, were probably never going to speak another word in inglish again to each other! haha:) But its been incredilbe. Its amazing how much a united companionship that loves and trusts each other 100% invites the spirit to lessons. We have had so many amazing experiences already, with some of the most powerful lessons I have ever been in. Its so incredible, Im so thankful for that guy!
So funny story: We went and visited a less active member named Angel. Hes awesome, and his mom was there. Shes really mentally sick, and just isnt really there. She has had such a hard life. Well when we were leaving she just all of a sudden throws her arms around my neck around pulls me in tight....... I froze...... I went stiff as a board. hahahaha I seriosly didnt know what to do. I couldnt move my body, its like I was in shock... hahahaha. All I could manage to do was give her two little pats on the shoulder, smile and say thanks. hahahaha. And while this is going on, Elder Bohne is just there in the background dying of laughter. hahahaha. So funny. Such a nice lady.
Zone Conference is coming up this week on thursday!!!!! Its gonna be so great, and I couldnt be more excited! Everything is going amazing, and I couldnt be happier. Its like Im on a vacation. I'm with my best buddy 24/7, on the Lord's Errand. Nothing better than that. I love ya'll so much. I love the people here so much.
Have an amazing week!
Elder Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelson
