La Catedral de Sal ~ Colombia MTC ~ 11/5/13

So on Saturday I got to go proselyting again and it was incredible. My companion and I went to a park called "Simon Bolivar Parque" I think. And it was beautiful. In the park, we talked to this one woman taking care of her baby cousin and we talked for a while. She seemed very interested and wanted to attend church on Sunday so we left her an address. She was the only one we talked to in the park, but we had a lot more success in the neighborhood right next to it. We found this guy reading on his porch and he invited us inside his house and we taught a short lesson to him and two of his friends. We left them a BOM and we got his contact info. It was awesome! Next we found a lady and this teenage boy who were working and taking a lunch break on the side walk. The lady seemed really interested in our message and we left her a BOM too. Finally, we got to my favorite investigator so far... It was this teenage boy leaving his house. He seemed like a really good kid. he said he´s prayed before, but he thinks it´s all in his mind. I felt so bad for this kid. Me and my companion bore our souls to this kid. And I know he really wants it! (keep that kid in your prayers) We left him a magazine and a pamphlet, so I really hope things work out for him.

The best part of my mission is getting to feel so much closer to Christ. I couldn´t ask for a better blessing than that. I´ve definitely realized how privileged I am to wake up each morning and snap on this nametag. There´s nothing more that anyone could want. I´ve been watching the new Bible Videos about The Savior and They´re awesome. I definitely recommend checking them out.

So don´t worry, I´ve been taking tons of pictures of Colombia and The MTC whenever, they give me my camera, (Which is rare) I just don´t know the WiFi Password haha.

So today, was our big adventure day. We started off at the temple. (Which was awesome as always) and they just got the new video so it was PACKED.

I was really bummed we didn´t go to the llama place :( but they took us to this mountain. This mountain had an underground Catholic Cathedral carved out. It was INCREDIBLE. There were all these ancient artifacts and Huge caverns, and caves, and trenches. The Cave system was insane There were so many tunnels and ancient carvings. I felt like Indiana Jones haha Its called the Catedral De Sal because it was in a huge salt mine. I definitely recommend looking it up. It was cool.

There were tons of dogs who were super friendly and were begging. i felt bad. We left the city and drove through farm country and the farmers didn´t even keep their cows fenced in. They would walk around wherever haha.

I want to get more pictures of the city. It is so cool! There are so many cars here though, that you can only drive your car every other day, depending on whether your license plate has an odd or even number haha

I love my district. We´ve grown so close and have become a family. I´m bummed because our district is splitting up tomorrow  and we´re getting Latin Companions. That should be interesting.... haha

Anyway, I´m having an awesome time, I love being a missionary. I´m so lucky to have such an awesome family who keeps supporting me. It really keeps me going! 

Thank you all so much! All is well! All is well!
