Week 47: Elections and Bogota!

Hola familia y amigos!

This was a pretty good week. Wednesday I had an intercambio with Elder Hoffman, he's a cool guy and it was fun to go out with someone with my CCM group.   Funny to think that we didn't know Spanish  at all when we got here and now we're not half bad! Then Thursday we taught at the rehab center again, it's always great  to get to go over there and talk with them. Then Saturday I had an intercambio with Elder Saxey, he's a cool guy too we had a lot of fun.  The World Cup started and it's been pretty crazy down there in Leticia, I hope Colombia and Brazil  don't play because If they do I don't think we'll be leaving the house! 

Then Sunday came around, we passed by lots of investigators Saturday and they all said that they were going to church and we passed by again Sunday and no one was going. It is presidential elections here in Colombia and an investigator who will not be named wasn't planning on voting until his neighbor gave him bread and hot choclate to vote for someone.  So he did that and didn't go to church....that was really sad honestly.  Jorge came to church which was awesome, he basically talked with the entire branch about how he's going to get married and baptized this upcoming  21st of July! He's a stud I'm so happy that we found him and that we have the opportunity to teach him about the gospel, he really is one of the people that God prepared for us and put in our pat so that he could hear the gospel. 

Then today we peaced out to the Airport and hopped on a plane to good ole Bogota and we're here again!  We have the last multizone conference with Presidente Y Hna Baquerizo tomorrow, I'm really going to miss them, they've been amazing!  I'm also excited to meet President Palhoa and his wife soon! We got to the Airport and ate at an amazing Itatian restaurant, it was so good I almost cried. I love and miss all you guys I hope you're all doing good!
