Hey email list, happy National Women’s Day! I have been thinking about the giant impact that women have had on my life. I just wanted to give a shout out to my awesome Mom. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn't even be here…literally. Thanks women!
It has been raining non-stop ever since Alvarez got here. I think he brought a curse with him. Speaking of Alvarez, we get along very well. We are finding a balance between working hard and having fun. Being Zone Leader is great. We are learning how to do it together! We had to make a zone plan with a ton of goals for all the Elders. Oh responsibility!
This week God has given us the opportunity to visit a lot of inactive recent converts! Most converts here in Colombia are like trying to glue something heavy to a wall. It sticks for a little bit after you put it there, but then it just inevitably falls. I don't know if that was the best example, but you get what I mean 😂! We always need to re-teach them the importance of OLA (orar, leer, y asistir) (pray, read, and attend church) because the majority of them stop doing that after they get baptized. Ahi vamos.
We gave some baptism dates out to a few of our friends for March 25th and April 1st. Prayers would be appreciated!
Still out here loving the mission, see you all in a few months!
