3 Months to Go!

This is the update of the week.

 

Well this week we had our final interiews with president poz and it was super sad. I'm glad that i could've been a missionary with him. he taught me a lot and was a super good example for all of us.

 

after the interviews we had a lesson with arnould and things were all good for the most part. his parents expressed that they weren't really sure why we were teaching their son and it was a little discouraging to see the opposition from the family but arnould is 21 and he told us that he's made his decision and that nothing is going to change. Overall things will probably go a little slower now but that's ok we don't want to rush anyone. He didn't come to church this week but we are seeing him on tuesday. i was freaking out because he didn't come and all that but barr kept his cool so that made things better

 

We found a cool new ami named yrana this week. she's from cape verde. she's super nice and super open to the gospel. she feels bad because she's been away from the gospel for so long and she wants to find her way back. we can totally help her with that! She also has a daughter who is 9 years old and hasn't been baptized. Looks like we need to bring a family to the restored gospel of jesus christ! she's awesome

 

We hit our 3 month mark and i felt a lot of bittersweetness (not sure if that's a word). I'm happy to almost be back as a real person but i'm going to miss the mission so so much. this is just the greatest thing in the world. of course i don't say that everyday but in the end i know it's true. no other thing could have taught me so much and given me so much. i'll never be the same because of it and it's ok with me. i love the mission and i'm glad i get to spend it with a stud like elder barr. hopefully we spend the next 3 months together because that would be ideal.
