Hello Mother how are you!! i think this past week was my favorite week in my mission. The Lord blessed me with great companions! Elder farah is AWESOME and elder allen is too! and hey you and elder farah's mom need to be friends bc she lives in sandy and she works for the church in the church office building like dad! kim farah. elder farah is a good buddy. same with elder allen. we laughed so hard this week. at night we have pillow talk and its great! but i have several things to say this week, ok first from last week i ate with people from Venezuela and OH MAN they make good food. i ate like a cafe rio thing and the coolest part, they put sugar on their black beans. sounds weird but i loved it! we also had a mission broadcast with all the missionaries in the whole world! it was so great. they talked about preaching repentance and baptizing converts. it was so spiritual.
I LOVE THE COAST. our ward is great. the members are all awesome and they all remember elder spinder [Colton's trainer] bc he was there for like 6 months! and yeah we are zone leaders! i love it, we just work like crazy and we have the best time doing it too. yesterday in church i had a lovely bonding moment with this old grandma named frecia. she is getting baptized in a week! a miracle! and yesterday her blood sugar was low bc she is diabetic like me. so i said, no worries and gifted her a sucker! we are friends. haha and she has such a pure heart.
oh and with diabetes. bad news it was 14. ha no im just kidding, but the dude [doctor] left on vacation so when he gets back i am doing my a1c! but dont worry im doing good with diabetes. im buying for insulin today and i taught my companions how to put the sugar shot in my stomach. hahah elder farah is hilarious bc he gives me shots at night and its hilarious.
funny story, we were in the road the other day and this creepy van with no windows passed by and farah sang, windowless van windowless van, where are the children playing at hahahahhaha me and elder allen died. also i was in the street and there was the cutest little puppy and i went to pet it and then the mom dog saw me and FREAKED OUT and she tried to bite me! good thing i had my book of mormon in my hand hahaha we laughed so hard. so yeah, i love my new place. i miss parque ohiggins, but the change was what the Lord wanted. and i can see the way He is blessing me:) life is good.
and thank you for sending me a camera!
oh and today elder allen went to do his visa so me and farah and elder banks are together and we found starbucks in santiago and we bought donuts! and then we found dunkin donuts and bought more donuts! so yeah its a pretty successful day so far. be safe! love you!
love colton<3
