Wow! It sounds like it's been a good ol week in Blanding with snow and everything!! You guys have no idea how much I miss the frio or cold!! It was an awesome week here. It was quite the trip from Puerto Escondido to the city of Oaxaca. It's normally a 12 hour bus ride, but then the people here were also blocking the roads so we had a 15 hour trip. It was pretty dang crazy! But, it was awesome because I got to sit by one of the girls that one of my friends baptized here, so we had a good conversation!!
Anyways I got here to my area on Wednesday and guess what?? My companion (Elder Jambati) is from the Dominican Republic! He's a smooth dude that's for sure and he really wants to learn English!! We had some awesome experiences this week, but what stood out the most was EVERY SINGLE time that my companion and I shared our testimonies, we felt the spirit so very strong and I KNOW that our investigators did too!! We will be having a few baptisms here in the near future and we're hoping for a lot more as well!!
Also a funny experience to share. So my companion told me that we were going to play basketball today so I was pumped because we just played soccer on the coast. So I asked him with who? And he told me a bunch of senores or older guys. So we got there and there were like 6 people over 50 years old. I asked my companion if we were really going to play with these guys and he said yes. Ha ha! So we started playing and everything and my goodness. Them old guys sure can pass and run like crazy. But, yes, we did win! Ha ha!! Is all I could see is when we keep the Word of Wisdom, we sure are blessed!!
I sure do love you guys so dang much and I hope you have an amazing week. And like my mom put on the calendar Grandma sent me, always remember to KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS!!!
