Yesterday I was 19/RIP Old Blue

I feel a lot older now, even though I just turned 20. Life really flies by. Yeah so that is weird. Also it has been like almost 4 months in the mission, which is weird. I still have a long time to go though, and that is ok too. Let's see, this week was pretty good for the most part. We had a conference in Salta with an elder from the 70. It was pretty cool, and it was really a testament to me that God gives his disciples the gift of tongues because he spoke very clearly the whole time. I don't know, I liked it. We stayed at the zone leaders apartment the night before. There were six missionaries in total, so it got pretty crazy. We did not sleep at all before the conference, well a little on the bus ride there haha. It was a good time though. We also went to Palpala to help other missionaries with an open chapel event. It was like a 5 minute tour to see and learn what the church is all about. I was lucky enough to get the street contacting job with some members. Talking to random people used to really be something I didn't like to do. I still don't like to do it. But hey, I try. The members were pretty cool. I got three different ones because they all had to do different stuff at different times. One was about to have his last interview to put in his mission papers. Pretty cool how the world just keeps going.

As for investigators, no one came to church and we did not have a ton of time this week to visit anybody, we tried a few people, but not much happened. So yeah, sometimes in the mission the work is just slow. Our district is pretty cool. It is me, Batman, and the rest are sister missionaries. We have a good time together. They are all pretty chill and fun. After the thing in Palpala, we were waiting for a bus ride back with the 4 sisters in our district, which took forever because sometimes that is just how it goes. But yeah we hung out and had a fun time together waiting for the bus. Ohh a fun story from Sunday, not really fun, but it was different. We were on our way to church, when someone waved us over to talk to them in the plaza. We went over and talked to him/her, because he/she was a transvestite. He/she was kind of mean to me about my Spanish and all. But also told us a lot about his/her past and stuff. It was interesting. At the end he/she asked us for our ties to remember how we helped him/her this day. So we reluctantly signed our ties and gave them away. So that was an interesting story of how we gave two ties away to a drunk transvestite that was making fun of my language and called me a bad missionary. Good times. I will miss you my blue tie. We fought the good fight. RIP. Anyways that is about it for the week. It sure was an interesting one.

As for today, it has been pretty good. Umm not all that much happened. I won't be able to upload pictures because something is up with this computer. We hung out with the sisters in our district and had some food and stuff. I don't care that much about my birthday to be honest, but it was nice to get so many emails for my birthday, Elder Batman could not believe it haha. It has been a pretty good day. Oh one of the sisters borrowed a guitar and brought it with her, so I got to play a little. I did not think I would miss it that much. But yeah today will be good through and through I think.

You really learn a lot of crazy stuff when you leave your house to try and bring the gospel to other people. Sometimes it feels like you can barely save yourself. It is really interesting. These two transfers have been filled with some crazy situations. I am really trying to find out what Heavenly Father wants from me, and it is not easy. But then, salvation never was easy. 

No se lo que va a pasar en las proximas semanas. Honestamente, tengo un pocito de miedo seguir porque aca es tan loco. Me gustaria sentir mejor con todo, quizas un dia lo sentire. Vamos a ver. Pero por ahora, Tengo mi testimonio muy fuerte de nuestro hermano mayor, Jesucristo. Es loco que paso con el. El dio su vida lleno de sufriendo para nosotros tener una chanca ser salvado. Una chanca. Se que Jesucristo es mi salvador y que el esta ayudandome porque yo soy nada solo. Amo Jesucristo con todo my corazon y por eso voy a quedar en este loco lugar y voy a sentir perdido cada dia porque amo Jesucristo. El hizo anos de cosas que yo estoy haciendo ahora. No puedo imaginarlo. Testifico de Jesucristo, de la paz que hay en el. En el Nombre de Jesucristo amen.
