Week 13

big week, not much time, so i am gonna write quick!

got the new elders, niether speak english but they are super cool!

we went to gasque 2 times, one for training for elder areas as a DL and one for a reunion of my misison group, the newbies, and both were awesome, i went to mcdonalds with elder anderson during the reunion of the district leaders, and he is from syracuse utah and is in my group, it made me really happy to eat a big mac, but also really sad cuz i missed home...

we had a baptism this week, elder areas baptized her, it went really well, i was going to play a musical number, but the keyboard didnt work...

we taught a lot of lessons, i taught about the book of mormon, and the spirit was really there,

we had a scary experience with the new elders, one of them said that he was awaken in the middle of the night, he said he felt someone pushing him into is bed, or holding him down, and he couldnt move, he like yelled and woke up his companion, they both couldnt sleep, it was like at 3:00 in the morning! so we are going to dedicate our house tonight (i forget to mention i dedicated a house already), pretty crazy, he says it was an evil spirit, but idk.... fishy...

i gave a blessing in spanish for the first time, i have i annointed but not blessed, so that was cool, she felt better that night.

then today we went to what is called the duarte and did some christmas shopping! haha crazy its already that time of year, well to send packages!!! haha we also passed by some historical sites and took some good pics, it was a really fun day ;)

all is well here, sorry not a lot of time, we got back a little late from the trop to the duarte, but i love you all and glad to hear you guys are doing well!

until next week!

ELDER AUGER

preparation day pics, we went to la puerta de conde, its like the lincoln monument of the us, i took a rocky balboa pic at the top of the steps,

this is inside that monument

we rode in the gaugau, or van of robert castro, or the husband of our mission mom that cooks our lunch every day! :) 14 people in a 8 seater van :) fun

Week 12

well first off, to answer the question, yes i watched conference, yes it was in spanish, and yes i was able to understand it... well a little of it ;) haha we watched it here in my area, some times we had good attendance, and had some investigators show which was awesome.

I loved hearing from the new apostles, cool stuff, one of my favorite talkes was by Larry R Lawrence, he talked about our purpose in life, which is to learn and become more like heavenly father, and to enjoy it along the way, we do that through rightousness, and following the spirit, we constantly should be evaluating ourselves to find out what we should adjust in our life to be more happy and be closer to heavenly father and jesus christ, the holy ghost helps us realize what we can do to improve, and i have really applied this in my life this week, i want to enjoy the mission as much as possible, so im evaluating myself and listening to the holy ghost to see what i can change to do so.

and if anyone wants, send me your favorite conference talk so i can fully understand it ;) thanks!

some things this week,

we had a birthday party for this little girl in the ward, her mom is the one that cooks for us every day, she is d bones age and has a crush on him ;) haha

we got t shirts for our zone that are pretty sweet

watched heaven is for real in our missionary activity in the church, great movie, i recomend rewatching it fam!

saw a guy get attacked with a michete, only cuz he was stealing from a colmado, or mini store, that was kinda scary, he cut his hand pretty good, but nothing to serious. haha love you mom, im safe.

also this week was the end of this transfer, and we found out that elder areas and i are staying right where we are, but we are getting two new missionaries in this area as well, they will be living with us, which should be fun, they both speak spanish only, so my skills will be improving even more ;) we will meet them tomorrow i think.

all is well here, i am really getting along with elder areas now, we are growing closer, im learning lots every day, teaching is awesome, i also invited a lady to be baptized, and she said yes! that is my first time for that happening, recieving a yes ;) her date is for the 24th of this month, should be awesome!

really is good here, loving it, growing closer to the lord each day, also missing you guys, i thought of something cool we could do, mom and dad can join the MOTAB so i can see your faces during conference next year ;) haha good stuff!

until next week,
