Funny story

Well, how's life going for u all.....

this week has been crazy for us.. and it's been kind of funny. this week we had plans to have like 6 people in church with members passing by to pick them... and only one came; it was kind of a disappointment, but oh well, the work goes on. they will all come next week cause they felt really bad they left us and some members hanging. but yeah, pretty much thursday through saturday it was normally going to teach, and trying to get them to go to sacrament meeting.

but yeah, then the big news, on monday and tuesday we had conference with elder adukitis, a member of the 70ty, that came and part of the area presidency...... lets just say he called us all to repentance... it was funny, he dropped the cane but we deserved it, and he did it with love and a smile.

on Monday it was a conference of leaders in all the mission. so there he talked about how the mission is doing, what we need to do to have more exito (sucess). and also talked about paying the price... he said that like 200 times during the 2 conferences "pay the price"... and so after that, presidente talked about some of the new metas (goals) for the mision. and so yeah, it was a great conference.

another good thing about it was that i got to see a lot of my friends in the mission cause everyone had to come here to bahia... so that was fun.....

but then on tuesday it was zone conference, my zone bahia with the santa rosa zone. and it was great. he once again talked about how we can be better, have more faith in the promises, telling us that there is people to find..... something he said that i like a lot is that he said: the field is white and ready to harvest. and if it's ready to harvest, how do we not see many fruits..... yeah he dropped it good... but it was great... I hink it's like all things, when someone gives you advice, even more so a servant of God. u take it and do all u can to do it... so i'm way excited...

this past 2 months the mission has been changing a ton for the better. and with all the new changes i only see good things. it's all about faith , what we need to do to have more, and to put it in practice..... o sea paying the price.

it's been a great week. the mission is a funny place cause it's kind of like a mini life. ur born ur new, u learn or die. when change comes u accept it and adapt to it. same thing when problems come, u solve them. and so yeah, it's funny, i love the mission. it's the best experience ever.....

to answer some questions really fast....

one - no, i could not see or hear the argentina game cause of the conference.. and cause it's against the rules...

funny story though..... tuesday, we got to the church at 9 in the morning to prepare the church, clean up, make it look good for the conference. it should have started at 3 in the afternoon. then the other zone comes like at 10. and then we just wait in the church till it started, cause we didn't want them getting lost if they went out to work... so yeah, anyways, like at 2:50 one of the ap's asked me and my comp to go run really quick, find a kiosco that's open, cause it's the siesta, and buy like 5 bottles of water.... and do it before presidente and elder adukitis come. we go and see presidente in the car with the elder so we started running to the gas station. the only place open... also, we are in our suits, and when we get there the aps call us and tell us that it already started. and so, we buy the water and run back.... we get there late, i give them the water bottles. My tie was way out of place cause we were running, and so yeah, we were one of the first ones there and we got to the meeting late with a general authority there..... worst part about it is that he didn't even need the water... he had his own watter bottle...... yeah, stuff happens.... it was funny to me.... but yeah

ok well, i love y'all very much and miss y'all. and will see y'all latter.

thanks for the prayers... and peace out
