Fwd: hello moto

Hey family!So we are having a great time here in galapa colombia! Galapa is

a little smaller then laramie, and the saints of the last days, meet in a

little two story house where about 40 members meet together and partake of

the scarament. It is a humbling 3 hours.

It also has been a great challenge and learning experience to train, and to

be in a new area.. we have been working hard to find new investigators and

getting them to church. I have found if you can get them to church in the

first week that you have found and have taught them it is more likly that

they will get baptized. But im not going to lie it has helped me a lot to

stay focused these last few months and i know that im where i need to be to

finish my mission. I really cant believe that im headed home, and im not

going to belive it until i land in happy vally again after two powerful,

life changing years.

There is a song that i have been listen to that has really hit me in the

last few weeks, thinking about how great the mish has been and remembering

all the great times and people i have met. And the words of the song really

hit me they say " cien bautizmos no es mejor si no puedes lograr tu

conversion" or in english, "100 baptisms arent as good usless you have been

convered yourself." ...Some thing like that... it is better in spanish. And

with this i wanted to say, that i truly am a convert to this amazing gospel.

Over the last two years the only covert i have is myself! All the other

people that i got to met and teach, are the Lords!

Thanks for everything famiy! You are the best family that i have ever had!

I love guys! I love the gospel. I love my father in heaven! In the name of

jesuschrist amen

See ya soon
