Oh people. Oh my people. This was one of those weeks where you just say "yes. oh yes." every night when you go to sleep. (well you actually say it in your dreams because you are out after 2 seconds on the pillow)
I'll share what happened during the week and do some updates and then send my journal entry of Saturday (dia de oro)
So Fam. Reyes this week over the phone said they would like to get married but cant afford it... when we heard that it was like a bomb going off. THATS ALL WE NEEDED. We exploded and immedately talked to the ward and boom boom boom. Fundraisers for the wedding! GOTTA GET THIS WEDDING DONE IN 2 WEEKS!!! the only thing is that they kinda dont know that they're going to get married the 9th of July.. hahahha because it was all so sudden and fast but tonight we tell them!
Dario... ey so sad what's been going on. He's been drunk like 3 days every week this whole month and we keep trying to help and we are going to have to leave him soon. He also said he is moving to Panama with his brother because he needs to get away from the influences here and some other people. Good for him. He will get baptized there. I know it. But I still love that man with all my heart.
Then on Friday it's 8:50 (BTW FOR FUTURE MISSIONARIES THERE IS ALWAYS A MIRACLE AT 8:50. ALWAYS.) and we were by the house and didn't know what we wanted to do so we decided to go down this sketchy street that weve never been on.. find a mesquitia family that went to the baptism and church and found a different family that is SO GOOD.. she said we were the only people that she's ever let in out of all the religions. LETS GO!!!
Then Saturday. Oh beautiful Saturday. (see pics)
We have had many hardships and trials but we have been more than blessed as well. What a privilege it is to be here. The most wonderful thing that ever has happened to me. (up to this point;))
This week i am thankful for Gustavo Osorto (FIRST FAM!!), Mr. Axel and the miracle of him, my companion who is just a stud Elder High, (btw he restored a 1978 firebird transam special edition. its the coolest thing i have ever seen. in photos of course!), this wonderful life, that my back stopped hurting for a couple days (those were extremely good days haha), for the opportunity to give a last tema this the last zone mtg we are gonna have this week!, and the enabling power of the Atonement of the Savior of the world.
GOTTA LOVE IT BABY!!
