Fam. Friends. What's up.
So this week was pretty good. Earlier this week a member in the ward
acutually took me and Elder Cartes out to lunch. She's the wife of the bishop, and
they are pretty well off with money. She drove us to the nice part of our area.
(Our area has a nice part and a realllly ghetto part. I do 90 percent of my
teaching and time in the ghetto part.) She took us to Pricemart. Like What???
I felt like I was in the U.S again. Just like Costco. We ate at the food court
there. I was in heavan. Pizza. Hot dogs. Ice Cream. Sprite. Oh my goodness, just
like somewhere at home. Anyway, that was great. So our area is one of the biggest
areas in the mission. And guess what. It's just me and Elder Cartes in the area.
We walk toooonnnns. I'm also the only gringo in my zone. We have like 10
missionaries in the zone, I think, and we had a zone meeting this week, and I'm the
only gringo!
So me and Elder Cartes are trying hard to have a baptismal service
the 27th of July. Working hard for that date. Hope everything goes as planned,
which doesn't happen much here in Colombia. Haha. Anyway, this Sunday I was called
up to talk...Without preparation! Just randomly, "Ahora vamos a escuchar a Elder
Dean" What!? Crap. Haha I got up there and rambled on for like 5 or 10 minutes,
probably just sounding like an idiot. Hope somebody understood something.
Hahaha. Elder Cartes said he understood everything, but he's probably just being
nice. Anyway, met a guy from Provo at church. He was just visiting with his wife,
cause his wife is from Colombia. I think his last name was Starling. It was nice to
speak in English for 10 min. Anyway, love you all and I hope you all have a good
week. Probably sweating in that heat in Provo, but don't worry I'm dying of heat
here in Colombia, too! Haha. Talk to you all next week.
Elder Dean
