What is a happening to me!!!!!!!!!!!
Well what a super crazy week… we had this week something
called the ZONE COUNSEL. In the middle of the week on Tuesday. I got back on the plane and flew back to Lima
with my companion. WOW and when we were there we had a meeting with all of the
Zone leaders in the entire mission. We stayed overnight in the house of one of
the Zone leaders in Lima and in the morning on Wednesday we had our big
meeting. It was really hard, right now in the mission we are struggling with
what is called el conformismo, or in English conforming to mediocre. The
general thought process is that if you can get one baptism or two baptisms in
one month then that is enough… you did your work. The President wants us to
work with a righteous ambition, and not just be satisfied with the minimal. Haven’t
I heard the same story my whole life. We are now going to strive to teach
our Zones what it really means to have the heart of a missionary and work with
all our heart, might, mind and strength. One of the best parts of
the reunion is that the president called up chili’s and bought tacos for all of
us. YAH!!!!!!!!!! Tacos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost died because it was like a flavor
EXPLOSION! My tongue has been so used to the RICE RAMPAGE that as I ate the
GLORIOUS SWEET CHILI TACO SAUSE, I felt like I jumped to a different planet. So
in other words…. I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GO TO CAFÉ RIOS. I think that it is
winning right now in the food that I want to eat when I get back.
Cool story however this last change Elder Bonilla (my
favorite companion) also was made Zone Leader. So for the first time after 8
months I got to see him. It is super cool we talked and talked about all of the
crazy stuff that has been happening and how we never thought we would be zone
leaders and how much we miss being in Mariscal Caceres, we just had a great
time. Then on Wednesday night we flew back to Lima it was raining pretty dang
hard when we showed up, but I really like the rain.
So I think we have lots of work that needs to be done here
in the field we just need to start to make our missionaries more excited to get
it all done. Really, to be honest, I am excited because I am starting to
understand my companion a little bit more, and I am starting to like him. Just
like you said mom I think there is a key to every person, a key to making them
happy, and I’m pretty good at helping da peoples with their duties. (Say this
with Nacho Libre accent)lol
ABOUT COLLEGE
Well I would like to finish my generals at BYUI and then go
and make a transfer to PROVO. I was also thinking a lot about what
I want to become and ladies and gentlemen…………… I have come to the
conclusion………… I am going to dedicate my time and studies to become a DOCTOR. I
have decided that I really want to push myself to the limits doing something
that I think will be very rewarding. I know that I have the
potential to do it so I want to really live up to that potential. I think that
on the other side of this same equation it will be difficult for my family in
the beginning but it will be a great way to set them all up with everything
that they need in the end. The decision of what kind of doctor I
want to become had yet to be made up the path is now in sight and the goals are
beginning to form.
Next week I will send some really great pictures of animals
and stuff like that.
