Week 33: Mojojoi Worms, Sevice, Futbol, Miguel Chota, and Elections

Hola Familia y amigos!

This week went by super fast and it was a really good week. First thing that happened is on Monday night I ate a giant live amazon jungle worm called  Mojojoi, it wasn't awful but it wasn´t tasty either. Then Tuesday we had a cool leccion with a Director of a rehab facility, he's a great guy and we have some times set to pass for him this week.  It was pretty weird though we taught him in his facility and he was dressed in an all white lab coat and he looked like he was straight out of a horror movie! Then Wednesday we helped a family move in the morning and then we played futbol with our investigators at night. Its awesome because all the members show up and play with the investigators and they are all becoming friends! It was really fun, it happens every Wednesday and the plan is to bring more investigators every Wednesday! Then Thursday was just a long hard day without a whole lot of success but hey it happens. Then Friday I had an intercambio with Elder Jeppson, we had to go do some migration thing so that we don't get put in jail for being here and that took like 3 hours. Then Saturday was awesome, we had the baptism of Miguel Chota, he's the uncle of the branch president here and so his nephew baptized him and it was amazing! Afterwards Miguel gave an amazing testimony about how he knows this is the true church and he was so glad to find it in this lifetime and to find it with his family. It was really powerful and the spirit was super strong! Then Sunday was insane, we had the confirmation of Miguel and also Family Diaz who were baptized last week, but after that it was election day here in Colombia, no one was at church and no one was in there houses!  They were all voting and then listening to the results, it was a pretty hard day, no one would listen to us. Then today was cool, played some soccer, then we ate some really good donuts. After that we really just relaxed, we're going to eat more Mojojoi tonight, Elder Jeppson and I are calling it Mojojoi Monday! Love and miss you guys, hope you're all doing well!!
