An update 9/11/2011

So Last week I ran out of time. It was crazy how fast I ran out of time. So this week I decided to write this email very first. Okay so here goes.

This week we had changes. What ended up happening is that the Libertad area got split in half. So me and Elder Davis both got new companions. My companions name is Elder Bowers. He is from Wyoming. He is cool. Super patient. The begining of this week was kindof stressful. We had to find a new pension and when we started out all we had were beds. It is kinda difficult to study without beds. We also didn´t have a fridge so we ate a lot of bread and bananas. Yum. But we have pretty much everything now. No worries.

So the area got split and I was the one that was supposed to know the area. Well it just so happens that I had only been to this new area a total of like two times in the whole previous twelve weeks. So we did a lot of exploring. We found a whole bunch of inactive members that we are going to be working with. And a whole buch of new investigators. We definately saw a bunch of miracles this week. Just a testimony builder to know that we were blessed for being diligent.

I will share two stories that I thought were really cool. The second day we were here we had been walking all day. And then this little old lady came up to us and shook our hands. We were both kind of confused but she told us to follow her and so we did. We later found out that she was the mother of a family that are members. But they haven´t gone to church for a little more than a year.

The other cool story is that same night, we were buying some empanadas from a street vendor (The best empanada I have ever consumed) and we heard someone behind us say "Elders I have a question" We were a little bit shocked that someone knew us. But It was this middle aged Argentinian woman with a REALLY thick accent. We then found out that she was a Member that had recently moved into our area and didn´t know where the Chapel was. So we found out where she lives and we are gonna go visit her tonight.

Those are just a couple of the coolest Expiriences and Miracles I saw this week. Just proof to me that when we are Diligent and Obedient, we recieve blessings, and we also get to bless the lives of some of Gods other Children too. Super COOL!!!!

Well upon request, Here is our daily routine... :)

6:30 - we wake up and excersize.
7:00 - shower and prepare for the day
8:00 - Personal Study
9:00 - Companion Study
10:00- Language study
11:00 - Leave house and work
1:00 - Come home and eat lunch
2:00 - Return to the Vinyard of the lord
9:30 - Return to our house and plan
10:30 - Lights out.

That´s pretty much all. It´s alway´s good to work. We walk a lot. Probably an easy 5 or 6 miles a day. Sometimes more.

Well I love everyone. Thanks for your support and everything. Your all the Best. Especially you. Yes you. :) hehe
