Last change!

Hey everyone! This week was a great one.

Well I don't have a whole lot to say jaja...

On Thursday I got a very unexpected phone call...It looks like I'm gonna train again!!!! My last 4 weeks in the mission will be spent training a new missionary...and I got another call that they're gonna take me and my comp out of Colonial which means that I'm gonna open a new area! I'm super excited. I was not expecting that at all.

Well, Hermana Vilma went to church again yesterday which was great.

We also went house shopping...I'm basically a pro at house searching. When I got my mission call, I never thought I'd have to marry people, drive in a foreign country, go house shopping or hang off of a bus because there wasn't room inside...

I'm sad to leave this area. I almost did 7 months here...the members are great. Also tonight we're gonna pack and tomorrow we're gonna move houses.

Yesterday we had a belated thanksgiving dinner with the Familia Contreras.

Yeah..it was a good week. Next week I'll tell you all where I'll be finishing my mission.

I love you all and hope you have a great week. Cuidense mucho hijos. Les amo mucho

Saluuu Pues!!

Semana chiva !

Hey everyone! This week was a great one, and I took a bunch of pics so I'll send those in just a sec.

Anyways, on Tuesday we were able to go to the temple as a zone and that was great. I love the temple and I really needed that trip.

On Wednesday we had interviews and a zone training from Presidente and the assistants. It's probably my second to last interview with him. Also I got a new temple recommendation because mine expires at the end of November.

Thursday and Friday worked super hard and found some new investigators to start teaching.

On Saturday in the morning, we baptized hermano Martín Mira then we went to the sealing of Hermano and Hermana Henriquez. That was such a good experience and I got to see Presidente and Hermana Vásquez!!! I was so happy. (I´ll send pics of that? and they gave us a ride in their new Hyundai Santa Fe (;

Yesterday my comp was sick so we just left at 6 to go to see the face to face with Elder Oaks and Elder Ballard for the YSA. That helped me to answer a couple of questions that I had. This week was great and super busy. Also next week are changes so I'll soon see where I'm gonna finish my mission.

Anyways, all is well and I love you all. Behave and be awesome in all that you do. Until next week,

Elder Loveless

Todo chivo puej

Hey everyone! I'm glad to hear from you all and to know you are all doing well.

Everything here is great. We're in the 'windy' season now so that's been really nice. It's not too hot and it's not raining.

Carolina didn't go to church to get confirmed so I was kinda mad...but we're gonna figure out why and if there's something we can do to help her...But this week on Saturday at 8 am we're gonna baptize Hermano Martín. He's super excited.

So yesterday in church they asked what thing in missionary work brings you the most joy and I thought about my 2 converts in there that both have the priesthood and temple recommends. It brings a lot of joy to see your converts progress in the Gospel.

I did interchanges on Friday and I went to Santo Tomas. We also had an all you can eat of pupusas and I only had time to eat 7 and bring 4 to the house because there wasn't enough time to finish there.

We're finding a lot of new investigators and working hard to be able to baptize in December. I hope I don't have changes because the members here like me and I want to finish my mission here, to be here for Christmas and all that fun stuff.

But we're doing good and even though I'm more tired than I've been in my entire mission and my life, we're still working hard. Also tomorrow we're gonna go to the temple as a zone and on Saturday after the baptism we're gonna go to the sealing of the first counselor and his wife and I'm gonna see Presidente and Hermana Vasquez!!!

Anyways, I love you all and wish you all a wonderful week!

Saluuu Pues y cuidense mucho!!

Oi

Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well.

This week was a good one. It wasn't too much different than the others, but it was still good. It's been a little hot but at least it's not raining anymore.

On Saturday Hermana Carolina was baptized and  I had the privilege of baptizing her. That was cool. The problem was that on Sunday morning, she couldn't show up for the confirmation. So until next week, she will not officially be a member.

Hermano Martín passed his interview and will be baptized on the 18 of Nov. Also we have permission to go to the sealing of the 1st counselor of the bishopric and his wife that same day. Presidente Vasquez and Hermana Vasquez will be there and I'm so excited to see them again! Woooo!!!

All is well...Always tired and working hard. I've never been so tired in my entire life.

Anyways, I love you all and wish you all a great week.

Cuidense Mucho!!!

Con amor, Elder Loveless

Baptism wooohoo!

Hey everyone! This week was super crazy!...But we're doing good. I hope everyone is good as well.

On Monday I got sick with a super bad fever, dizziness and other things so we didn't go to work...my companion and I have been sick all week, but the other 6 days we left to work.

We've been still working a lot with Martin and Carolina. Carolina at the last minute said she didn't want to be baptized and we haven't been able to find her since Friday. Martin hopefully will have his interview for his baptism tomorrow.

Hermano Angel moved out of the house of his girlfriend and moved in with his aunt and all went well. On Saturday he was baptized and yesterday I was able to confirm him. He's such a great guy and has a great life ahead of him. I love that guy. A lot of times we take the gospel for granted, but once you see the effect the Atonement has on people..wow. It's really changed my view of the gospel. I love this church and missionary work. Juela, it's hard, but it's worth it. I'll send pics of that.

We hope to baptize Martin this Saturday, but we'll see how that goes. Also on Friday I completed 21 months........I'm getting super sad because the time just doesn't slow down. I only have 2 more months to be a full-time missionary...that makes me super sad..anyways, I'm dedicated to give it my all and to work super hard.

Also supposedly there was gonna be a huge tropical storm , Selma, on Saturday so we all went to buy food in case we couldn't leave for a few days...nothing happened jajaja. But we were obedient and the Lord will bless us. But the weather is super nice!

I love you all and hope you all have a great week!

Saluuu pues!

Con amor, Elder Loveless
