Hey guys!
This week has been crazy. New missionaries arrived to our mission, we moved houses, and there has been a constant work load in the offices. The Acosta family is doing well and we are working on teaching the grandparents first all of the lessons to become active again because it's hard to find the rest in the house. I honestly don't remember much from this week. But nothing big happened this week.
Today for Pday, we went on a hike close to our house but it turned out to be longer than we thought so we couldn't finish it all because they started to tell people to go back down. Everyone has to be out of the trail ground at 10AM. So we might try another day and go a little earlier. Then we went and ate at Johnny Rockets! I ate the best burger I've had here in Colombia. It was a bit pricey but definitely worth it ha ha.
This coming week should be a lot less stressful, so I'm looking forward to that. Well, I honestly can't remember anything else that happened this week, so I will leave it at that. I love this gospel and I know that this church is the only true church on the earth. There is no other church with the priesthood authority of God to perform the saving ordinances that we need in order to return to Gods presence and have eternal life. I know that that might be a pretty bold statement but I know it is true because I have personally asked God in prayer and He answered. I know the Book of Mormon is true and contains the word of God. Like Joseph Smith said, it is "the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man [will] get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book." I know that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live and that they both love us perfectly. Have a great week and thank you for everything!
