Week 42: Some Birthday’s, Mother’s Day, and some flooded Leticia streets!

Hola Familia y Amigos!!

This was a pretty great week! Started out really good on Tuesday, we had a really cool member Gustavo come with us to some lecciones, that sounds pretty normal but here in Leticia it's pretty rare. It's super helpful too because there's lots of times here when we find some people to teach but there's no man over 18 years old so we can't go teach them so it was really a blessing to be able to have him with us on Tuesday. 

Thursday we went to the rehab center and showed them the Joseph Smith Prophet of the Restoration Movie, that went really well, I love going to the rehab center every Thursday, every person there is trying to change their life for the better and it's cool to be able to work with all of them. This Thursday we're going to show them The
movie about President Monson. 

Saturday was really fun, I got to talk to my family which was amazing, just cool to actually talk and see everyone in person, I even saw carpet! That was pretty weird it has been awhile since I have seen carpet! haha. Then after talking with the Family we
went to our recent convert Juan Carlos’s Birthday Party.   We had a fun time with him and ate some pizza. We're teaching his little brother right now too, they're great kids. 

Then Sunday (Mother's Day) was awesome, Church was cool,Luiz Alfredo came to church. He is an amazing dude, reading the BOM everyday, coming to church. He's going to get baptized on the 26th of this month. It's amazing to see how his life has started to change ever since we started teaching him, he's happier and he just smiles more. It’s what the gospel does for everyone, just makes life better and truly the greatest source of joy and happiness and it's amazing to see it in Luiz´s life. Then after church we went to Hna Mercedes´house for her Son(Oscar) B-day party, that was super fun. It rained a ton so we had to use boots, have some funny pictures.

 Then Monday was cambios. My Comp Elder Caqui left so right now I'm just chilling here with Elder Jeppson and Elder Hoffman, los 3 gringitos de leticia! Haha  But it's all good cuz my comp gets here today, Elder Cabral, he's Brazilian like Elder Araujo. I'm excited to start working with him! So we took Elder Caqui to the airport then after that we went and ate lunch with Hna Mercedes again.  Then we bought groceries, got our haircut and Elder Jeppson and I deep cleaned my house! Thats it for this week!! I Love and miss you all! I hope you all have a great week and remember to keep Christ at the center of your life!
