This week was super interesting. So Monday was our first day locked in our apartment (last week I explained why....carnival) We bought a ton of food to make just in case we got hungry and tons of stuff to clean our apartment.  I was a little sick so we called a pharmacy and they delivered me some pills for my cold.  I finished the last of them today and still have a little bit of a cold so I don´t trust Colombian medicine anymore than American. We read the scriptures a ton.  I didn´t read the scriptures at all in English.  It´s been a little weird because I sometimes look at things in English and Spanish and I can´t tell the difference anymore because I am just reading them both like they´re the same. I started the Book of Mormon again and I am reading in chapter 8 of 1st Nephi.  All we could do with our investigators was call them and we had one come to church yesterday with her daughter. (Yes we could leave for church then we went back and couldn´t ...

Good morning, This week was a little wild.  We were getting bible bashed at just about every corner this week.  We would pass and start talking to some people and then they would immediately start saying things like "Jose Smith no es un profeta en la biblia dice que hay muchas falsos profetas" and things like that with many scriptures and trying to get in our faces a little bit.  My compañion is a little more like Joe so when people try to get in his face with stuff like that he gets a little irritated and bible bashes with them.  The spirit isn`t super present but I`m not going to lie it`s pretty fun to watch. =)  Because it gets to the point where he is directing the argument and then he invites them to church and says, (translated) "So if you have faith, like you said you do, and faith without works is dead, why don`t you come to church with us on Sunday?"  They try making excuses and he tells them that they aren`t demostrating their faith to God ...

Herro, good to hear everyone had a good week this week. and I hope that everything continues to stay well. I have the opportunity to talk with a lot of members as well as non members about how my family is doing and I always say good because there isn`t any other way I can describe it. One of these members said to me that being a missionary keeps my family safe.  This is one of the blessings of being a missionary is that you guys can all have good health all have good things to keep you busy and plenty of opportunities to feel the gospel blessing your lives.  I like that and I believe it. This next week is Carnival and I will be writing you guys in the morning because I am stuck in my apartment for a week.  No we haven`t moved and we still have rats in our ceiling.  They have been a little quieter this week though. Sorry I didn`t have a lot of time to write this week we got back a little late from downtown and there was a guy who didn`t want to stop look...
