Hola familia y amigos!
This week was pretty crazy. Tuesday started off in Bogota, we had a
leader's meeting and I saw a bunch of my friends including Elder
Gregersen and Elder Gutierrez(pics will come if Leticia allows). Then after the meeting ended some other Elders from Florencio came up to me and told me we could go to the Temple. We took the public bus to the Temple, we were running in the streets of Bogota to get there on time and we barely got there but it was amazing to get to go to the Temple again! Then Wednesday morning we left Bogota we had a good McDonald's Breakfast and we got Starbuck, wow It had been awhile since I'd had a Starbucks hot choclate and it was amazing.
We get back to Leticia and...our house had flooded haha. So we spent all day
taking all of our stuff out of the house and sweeping and mopping the house till it all dried out that wasn't so fun. Then Friday President and his wife came down and they took us out to lunch with them at Tierras Amazonicas! I love them so much I'm sad they're finishing their mission but I'm happy to get to start with President Palhoa
pretty soon.
Saturday we did a lot of contacting, we contacted in a super poor part of our area and found some people that don't know how to read, it's extremely humbling to be in a part of the world where the people have challenges like that, it makes me realize how blessed we are to have good education and how we need to take advantage of it.
Then Sunday was good, our investigador Jorge walked 3 hours from Brazil so he could get to church, that was amazing to me, it was amazing to see how important the church already is to him and the sacrifice he made to get there, later that night we had a leccion with him and his wife Lina. We taught them the Word of Wisdom and they committed to drop alcohol and coffee right away, they're super amazing people and I'm so glad I have the opportunity to help them recieve all the blessings that our Heavenly Father has for us when we keep his commandments.
Then yesterday the Zone leaders got here Elder Amick and Elder Rabelo, they're cool guys, we had some lecciones. Then we got a call that Elder Jeppson is getting transfered up to Bogota, that was sad I'm really going to miss him. So in his honor we ordered a giant pizza and I mean giant because 6 missionaries couldn't even finish it!
That's it from this last week, pretty crazy, this week is going to be a normal week again hopefully. I love and miss all you guys! Hope you're all doing well and have a great week!!
Nos Vemos!
Elder McBride
