Week 32 - March 20, 2017

Hello again everyone!!

Alright so the first exciting thing that happened this week is that one of our investigators agreed to a baptism date!!!! His name is Gunnar and we have him on date for the 15th of April!! He is a really solid kid and is ready to be baptized! He is one of the 13 year old twins that we have been teaching for a while and he is finally ready! His brother has decided that he isn't interested at this time which is sad but I know that he will come along!!

On Tuesday this week we had a zone conference where we learned about a new rule for our mission that no missionary is excited about. From now on if a missionary gets involved in an accident, even if it isnt their fault, all missionaries in the mission are required to ride bikes or walk the next day. This is called a "car fast." They are hoping that it will help us not get in accidents as much but it makes planning a lot harder. If that happens we only have maybe 24 hours to reschedule everything that we had planned and make new biking plans. Our first "car fast" was Wednesday the day after Zone Conference, so we all had fun biking and walking everywhere we needed to go.

The other big thing that happened this week is that I got sick!! Yay!!! I love getting sick. Head colds are the best! This was my first time getting sick on the mission and I really hope it doesn't happen again. I felt so drained of energy and couldn't really think straight. But its over now so I should be good for a while! Fingers Crossed!!

I would just like to leave y'all with one of my favorite scriptures from the book of Isaiah.
 
Isaiah 54:14 "In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee."

Always remember that if we are established in righteousness then there is no need to fear. We never stand alone when we stand for the right.

Con amor!!
Hasta Luego!!
