Well we had a great fin de semana here in la Zona Cartagena. We were blessed to have 8 baptisms between the 6 areas and two were families that the missionaries helped get married and the two in our area are brother and sister. It was really a great experience to see how the work goes from a little bit higher up and be able to help all the areas meet their goals of confirmations. I was really impressed to see how much each companionship sacrificed to help out thier converts.
We were just really blessed and it was great to see the Lords hand. I didn’t mention this the last week but our bishop here is an American who works for the state department and his gringo family. I was super surprised when I saw them but them REALLY happy because we eat with them Sundays in the afternoon, SOOO GOOD!! She even made REAL BROWNIES from scratch and my comp almost died because they were so good and it was his first experience with REAL brownies.
The members are really nice here and love the missionaries which is a pretty big change. Before I felt more like the novia maluca (or ugly girlfriend) that all the members tolerated but did didn’t really want, but here they give us good food and tell us they have references and its great.
Maybe a funny transportation detail, there is a main road that takes a big circle that goes through all the zone we take the Cartagena verison of buses to get around. They have really old jeeps that they but seats in the back facing each other and they charge 1 mil pesos (50 cents) and you can ride the whole circut. The jeeps are super old and are basically metal shells on wheels but they work and are funny. The good thing is that because the seats face eachother the people have to look at us so its easier to contact.
My comp is anxious to write his family so it has to be a little short agian but im sending photos. The persons who were baptized are Huber and Anis Montes and are little siblings of a member here in the ward.
Love ya tons and keeping praying for me and for the Zona Cartagena.
