Week #86, June 11, 2016

Hey! its opposite here, it was hot and now its really cold in the morning and at night!

ha what happens though is if i put on a jacket i get to hot and i dont like being too hot so 

i always take off the jacket and then every person that comes in contact with us mentions 

that i should abrigarme! it happened last winter when i was with elder decker and now its happening again! haha

man this week has been so fast and filled with so many things to do!! 

sorry mom there isnt too much to say this week. it passed by so fast i can barely think.

the other day i had to go by shoes. my toe was kinda infected (DONT WORRY IM FINE) so i bought better shoes that are more wide. they were more expensive than i wanted to pay but, i think it was good i did it. 

im doing really good! hermano salvador was set apart as a service missionary, so he basically is my other companion. he is always with us. he is the man! one of the most faithful people i know.

to answer your questions:

no, thankfully i have not seen any spiders lately. my pension is beautiful therefore, there are no spiders

my pensionist job is stressful! being in charge of things is hard, but im learning a lot of responsibility. 

the thing with pictures.....i have been terrible with that bc we are always running around doing stuff. this week i will take pictures. also of my house and my appartment.

i love ya mom!!! im also so grateful for all the things people and family do for us to help our family. we have a great family. really soon ill see you all again!

bye mom:)

love colton

Hey dad, i really like that quote by president uchtdorf. ["Gratitude is one of the most important human virtues, and one of the most common human deficiencies. Gratitude does not develop without effort." - Dieter F. Uchtdorf.] gratitude is something i constantly have to pay attention too. its really easy to see what isnt right around me and start complaining for all the things that dont go the way i want. so thank you for giving me this great reminder to be grateful. last week you wrote me about all the different races in life. that was exactly what i needed to hear. satan is always trying to discourage and justify sin, but Christs way is to always just to spiritually ´get up´, repent sincerely and keep on trying. im really happy lately, i feel like i have been overcoming weaknesses and little things that stop me from progressing. i can hardly believe that i have been out this long on my mission. it is honestly hard to remember the way things are at home and how i was. things in the office are so crazy, i have so much things to do!! i imagine you feel like that constantly. my mission president is a really great man. he is always so patient and understanding and loving. im going to miss him. but he will live in provo so thats really close.

Dad, i say this everytime but i am so so grateful to have you as my dad. i cant wait to be with you again and to spend time with you. youre my best example

i love you dad!
