For the first time in my mission a guy tried to rob me.....

November 13th, 2017 

Tuesday- well it was a normal p-day, in the night we went and said goodbye to the Cox family, and we watched the best 2 years with them, haha they were laughing soo much. Then for the first time in my mission a guy tried to rob me. So first off he had nothing to threaten me with, second he was a twig, he was probably about 5 foot 7and weighed 120 pounds. So he comes up and says "hey give me your phone!" so I responded and said what!? and he said again "give me your phone. So I didn’t really want to and just said, "No" and walked away, so he screamed to his friend "hey get the phone" and he was even smaller, so I just walked right passed him and he tried to reach out but didn’t do anything.Haha it was pretty funny, 

Wednesday - the day of truth, so I really wanted a gringo, so I could tell a bunch of jokes in English with him, so we had a good conference with both the missions. Bishop Davies talked about preparing ourselves for the battle (studying) it was pretty good, and afterwards we met our oros (that’s what they call them here) and my “son” is Elder YUZURIJA!!!!!! hahaha he’s Peruvian from Lima, but his last name comes from japan, so I’m always going to say his name in a Japanese accent. Anyways we all chilled in the chapel in Malvin while they all did their medical exam, played some games, ate some food, I was a little sad I didn’t get a gringo but he’s awesome, and!!!! it’s exactly “the best 2 years” situation, he’s a convert of almost 2 years and the only member of his family, and I’m finishing my mission training him! But we got to our new area, and got to know it a little bit, it’s a massive area though, it probably takes 3 hours to walk from point to point. And we have a city about 14 km away as well. So this’ll be fun!

Thursday - well first full work day, we had a couple charlas set up already and the members that I’ve met already are awesome, they take us everywhere in their cars, So we had a couple lessons, 1 was with the branch president in Sauce (a city 14km away) luckily he took us in his car, but the family we are teaching is awesome! We have the baptism of the daughter and the father the 9th of December, They have already come to church but the other missionaries never talked to them, so now we’re gonna teach them. Haha we are gonna try to set up lessons right after church so that we don’t have to travel so much. Then the branch president showed us around the city a bit, and then we taught the daughter of a member who wants to be baptized, so we will be working with her as well. 

Friday - well we had a decent day, still getting to know the area, we set up some lessons with old investigators, we had one with a really nice lady, and we found a nice family, but I’m not sure how much they will progress because they don’t understand things very easily. Oh but we had lunch today with the second counsellor, who lives 4k from our house, so we missed the bus and started walking home afterwards, luckily a member saw us and decided to take us into town!! WOOOHOOO it was a miracle because we were late for an appointment, then we played some futbol in the night and I got my butt whooped

Saturday - it is sooo different training than being a zone leader, it’s a little easier that he speaks Spanish, but yea I do everything! Haha it’s pretty funny though, my comp is always super lost, sometimes he just watches me do the dishes for a bit because he doesn’t know what to do. But we were finally able to buy food today, we were a little dry on sustenance, then we had a couple lessons here and there, saw a lot of dead frogs, and yea!

Domingo -  Not a bad day, so the Coacini’s came to church and another investigator that just needs to get married but her husband doesn’t want to. Why? I do not know, they have a 4 year old kid too, but they’re working on it. Then in the afternoon we only had charlas with those 2 families, and then did some contacting here and there, and also!!! walking home we live right next to a military school, and in the massive field were like 5000 fireflies, it was sooo cool to see. 

Monday - we had a zone activity, and the zone is pretty cool, but I am officially the oldest missionary in the zone, along with my MTC comp, haha yep! Me and him are gonna be together in until we die! We started together and we’ll finish together! And then we took buses the rest of the day, pretty fun stuff!!!

Love,

Elder Grigor 

Change week. I am going to be a dad !! (become a trainer in mission language)

November 7th, 2017 

Tuesday - Halloween!!, well probably the worst halloween ever, haha just kidding I actually forgot it was halloween though, but today was a really good day because I did an exchange in Aeroparque (my old area) and I finally met Juan again!!!! (my first baptism) and he’s huge now! and super funny (now that I can understand what he’s saying!) I really liked catching up on the old times though! We also went to a couple people during the day, haha I did some math homework for someone, and oh boy do I need a refresher!! haha I can barely do grade 10 math, haha if it stays like this I’m in trouble in a couple of months! 

Wednesday - Well t’was a pretty normal day today, not a lot happened. But I did play basketball today! So the young men set up futbol (soccer) and we played a bit, and I played some one on 3 against my comp Alfredo and Bryan, I was a little rusty though, I barely won. Luckily I was taller than them, so if I needed some points I just took it to the paint. 

Thursday - Another shot to the pride! so I thought I was good at math, and I did another equation today for Flor (an investigator) and it took me about 30 minutes and I still didn't even get it right! Anyways, we did go to Flor today and we read Alma 32 with her that talks about faith, so we explained to her that she is starting the experiment (planted the seed) and that the way to see if it’s true is by nourishing it (reading, praying) and helped her understand a little bit more about the ways that Heavenly Father communicates with us. We also found a new investigator, named Alvaro, and he is really cool, seems like he has a decent interest in the church, oh and we also helped an old lady figure out her tablet and radio.

Friday - Well today was interesting, in the morning a lady in our ward asked if we could give a blessing to a relative of hers in the hospital by our house, he’s about 97 and about to die, and we could tell during the blessing, but hopefully things will start improving with him! Then we taught a couple of lessons, helped some people some unto christ, you know the usual!

Saturday - So, we went back to the lady that is building her house (the one we helped toss bricks into the house), and she's building it alone! So we stopped by in the morning, and tossed some concrete into the walls to fortify them, and then cut down some trees that were in the way!, super fun though, it reminded me of when me and Ty cut down our tree! But it was crazy hot outside and I sweat like craaazy!!! After we ran, i think for the first time in my mission, to our lunch and went home to eat and then hit the streets again because we had a lesson! So we taught a lady named Sharon, she is progressing really well and she read like 8 chapters of the Book or Mormon, but in the lessons we just finished the Plan of Salvation and explained to her how we can be with our families after this life, if we are humble and follow the simple gospel of Jesus Christ! And we finished it off in the Cox’s house, and we taught them a little bit about fasting (since it was Fast Sunday) and how it’s a way to receive help from God! also President called me today telling me that I am going to train!!! and since I only have 2 changes left it will be in another white wash! so this will be exciting (and I totally called that)

Sunday - Well in spite of inviting the entire world to church! no body came today, but we are really close with some people. But the best thing that happened today was that Bryan came with us to do splits and visit some people to see what the mission is like, so we brought him a preach my gospel and basically had a horrible day. But we found a really nice man from a different department that is living here for a month, so we talked with him and taught him the restoration, Bryan bore his testimony and the guy wants to be baptized on the 9th of November, so we will prepare him here and he will be baptized in Salto (since all his family lives there). Then in the night Bryan said that he had a great time and we’re gonna leave with him again. Haha woo! we have a little missionary!!! 

Monday - well the moment of truth, so I went to a training meeting today, and I saw Hermana Chubak there! she told me Kellen was leaving for his mission too, we talked for a bit, but the meeting that we had was really good. I learned a lot, and not only about training but in ways to magnify future callings in the church. After that we went back home and finally went back to Gerardo. It’s been a while since we have been able to go by, but he lets us in and we talked about what had happened with him and why he wasn’t coming to church, and he’s a little depressed, but we helped him understand a little more about difficulties in our lives and how they are really a blessings because they allow us to grow! So he was a little happier and said he would come to church this Sunday. Then in the night we went to Flor’s house and taught her and her brother about how to receive an answer, and how to know things that we don't, and simply it’s just like James says, ask of God. Pray to him and he will tell you, because we are his children and he wants to help us. So whatever we ask (as long as we are following what he commanded) we will give it to us. They understood really well, and we also grabbed the changes in their house, they gave us 2 boxes of alfajor’s and well, I’m going to a place called toledo! in a white wash, haha my 3rd white wash in the mission! So this should be a fun experience and a good change, it will probably help me learn a lot of things to help me as a REAL father. 

Well, I’m kinda sad to be leaving this place, I have made good relationships with the members and the converts here, but I know I am needed in another area, I’m glad I had the experience to meet them, and grow from them. I know that this church is true! 

Love you guys!

Happy Halloween

October 30th, 2017 

Tuesday - so... today was p-day and our ward said on Sunday that we were gonna play basketball with all of the priesthood holders, So I got super excited, first time in the mission I would actually play basketball for realzies, and I was getting my mind ready to play some basketball, I was planning on dunking over someone. So right before we saw some people trying to form a line and pass like 300 bricks from the streets into a house, so we went and helped them and then set up to help build the house on Saturday, but anyways we got there at 7:30 like they said, and no one came, so we waited until 8 and still no one. So I called someone and they said "oh yea no one told you? we canceled it, sorry" not only did I not play, but it kind of ruined our night with lessons and stuff. 

Wednesday - Fairly normal day, I actually can’t remember what happened, but we did visit a less active man who is wanting to come back to church, he has a little problem with work and can only come 1 time a month, but hey a start is a start. So we talked about family history so that he can do something within the week so that he can feel the spirit that he dosent get from coming to church. And then we talked to the husband of an investigator, and we thought that he was totally going to reject us, but he was super nice and we started talking about how he misses going to church, and wanted to start up that habit again! Hopefully we will be able to help him in that. 

Thursday - We made a lot out of nothing today! Allllll of our lessons fell through, so we just contacted all day, and we found 3 new people to teach, and 1 of them is sooo prepared, her name is Sharon. We saw her sitting with her baby and went and talked to her and she said that she said that if god gave her a job (since she’s looking) that she would go to church, and then said well since you guys came I think he wants it to be the other way around. Which was awesome!! I love being the response to a prayer. So we talked to her for a while and invited her to be baptized and she really wants to! The only thing is that she needs to get married, but she said that they are already dealing that out and are trying to buy rings to do it, and then she said that she would come to church!!! 

Friday - So we did an intercambio (exchanges) pardon my Spanish, and I went with Elder Mason, in his area. They have been kinda down lately so I went to go help him, and we had a really good day. Haha I saw a man walking in a Canada sweater and said "haha alright theres no WAY this guys passing me without me talking to him" then a little buggy drove in between and he passed me! haha But I shouted and ran him down and started talking about his shirt and that he had family in Canada, and really likes it. So we set up a lessons for the other elders on Sunday with him, he was awesome. Then we did a lot of other contacts. 

Saturday - Wooohooo!!! I stood in a bus for 2 hours today!!!! haha we went to a baptism out in la costa (the coast) it’s a city here where my companion was, so yea I went just to accompany him. It was an old investigator he taught, but yea! 2 hours... standing... in a hot bus full of people!!! But hey sacrifices bring forth the blessings of heaven right? Oh also another sacrifice that was disgusting!!!!! We went to that service project and we did demolition!!!! my old job! hahaha I love that stuff! Just adrenaline and hammers and tools! Wood flying everywhere! gotta love it. But yea that part I didn’t love was that it was a really old sheet metal house, (that’s the way they build cheap houses here) and it had soooo many cockroaches in it. So I got the short end of the stick being the tallest, I had to hit the metal near the studs to break the nails out, and as I hit... well you can imagine! Roach shower!!!!!!! Wooohoo. So yea we did that in the morning and after I took a 2 hour shower with bleach! probably the highlight of my week.

Sunday - Soo... sharon came to church!!!!!!! for 5 minutes, and felt super embarrassed because she came in normal clothes, so we let her go home. But in the afternoon we had a lesson with her and she told us that, and we understood, but she said well next week! I’m going to go in a dress! that way I’ll feel comfortable!! WOOHOOO, haha that was a really good lesson, even though we had some crazy things happen during the lesson. Like a man with 4 fingers (and not just like 1 missing like his hand only had 4 fingers, normally) he said he didn't have a name, then right after said you wanna know my name? So laughing I said yea! and he said I’m Jesus! and I was thinking "oh no! not again! another one!, but this time during a lesson!" so we tried to get him to leave, but wouldn’t, then we had some people in a car yell at us, and she said does this always happen?? this had never happened to me until now!!! haha but she didn't take it as a weird thing or anything she just shrugged it off! haha luckily!

Monday - well we had a zone activity and ate some chorizos!!!!!!!!

This week was really good, and really fulfilling!!! I enjoyed finding the people we did, and having some funny/disgusting experiences to tell. I love this work! I hope you all know that God loves you! and wants the best for you, even though the world seems like everything goes against you, know that God is always with you!

Love

Elder Grigor 😉

I know this is the true church and the true work because HE LEADS AND IS IN THIS WORK!

October 26th, 2017 

Monday - so tonight I got sick and we didn’t leave because I was literally dying!

Tuesday - we stayed in for the morning and chilled so I could get a little better to leave in the afternoon, because we had some important lessons. So we had one with a less active that is reactivating himself, so we just read the Book of Mormon with him and helped him stay strong. Then we had a good lessons with some new investigators named Carlos and Maria, who are really nice. We found them in the street and I think that they could get baptized, they are like the first Uruguayans that I’ve met here in this area that are married! Then we had a lesson with Flor and talked about the Book of Mormon with her, and she said she would read it. Then she told us her uncle works in an alfajore factory and he gives them boxes for free, so she said if we want we can come by and get boxes!! So we’re gonna take advantage of that one!! 

Wednesday - I also died in the morning but we were able to leave, but I had an idea! So every time I drink mate it cleans me out! Goes right through me, so I thought well maybe if I drink this it’ll take whatever is making me sick out of me! So I drank it in the morning and at 4 right at the start of a lesson it hit me, my stomach was grumbling pretty loud, luckily she didn't hear it! So after I went to the bathroom and at about 6 in our next lesson it hit me again, right as I sat down! And I couldn't go until 9 when we finished with all the lessons that day! So yea the mate did its job!! 

Thursday - today I was doing a lot better, the only thing is I was really weak from the week, but we only had 1 lesson today. haha funny, while I’m sick we are blessed with lessons, but right when I’m getting better and can walk! wooo NOTHING!! anyways it was a good lesson with an old investigator! and we are starting to help her again, she smokes and doesn’t come to church, but we’re are going to change that!

Friday! - I had exchanges with the assistants, so I went with my boy Elder Mecham, he’s a baller too and while we were walking to a lesson we saw some kids playing basketball, and I said: “man I wanna play!” So Mecham turned and said: “you want to?? let’s go, I’ve never done this on my mission yet!”  So we went over and started playing against a bunch of youngsters, and we were kicking their butts! So a ton of people came over to watch us, and haha I went past a guy and there was one standing in front of the rim, and I threw a huge dunk down right over him! haha everyone went crazy freaking out and screaming in this dudes face, (the rims were a little low though btw) but I wish I had a video, it was like a massive tomahawk dunk. But then we talked with all the guys and set up to teach them another day. Then we had some really good spiritual lessons, and 1 super funny one with an investigator that is going to be baptized and his drunk friend. His friend would just speak in high pitched squeals instead of saying things sometimes, and me and Mecham were dying laughing. Probably one of the funnest/coolest exchanges.

Saturday - Now that I was recuperated I could work normally, but not too much happened today either. We talked to Maria and Michael about the law of chastity, which we though would be interesting since they aren't married and he’s 30 and she’s 50, but they understood it. They said that they would think about it, if they need to be married or not. Then we went to Alfredos house and did some magic and talked about prayer with them. 

Sunday - well sadly no once came to church! but not to worry! For next week someone will come!!! But today we visited a lot of less active people that we saw while walking in the street and remembered about them. They were all really good lessons that lifted them up from where they were, but they still need a little something extra (passes out from dart) ((please tell me you understood that)) 

Monday - So this was my 3rd to last interview with president and we didn't really talk about too much, because I didn’t have any problems or questions. Then we talked about my parents coming down to get me, but he didn’t tell me anything about me dropping to train or anything, so I do not know what is going to happen. Then afterwards I had another exchange with Elder Bailey! haha Every time we have an intercambio some thing memorable happens. So this time we went by Mario, a recent convert who went inactive and is coming back, and read 1 Nephi 18 with him, and we both read the scriptures with him in such a good way. Haha we left him halfway through and he said “oh! well I’m gonna sit right here and keep reading! I need to know what happens next!!!” haha then we had another lessons with Flor! One of the better lessons we had with her, and basically we just talked about the importance of the Book of Mormon and we can find so much peace in our lives by reading it! and how that book is the key to anyones life! If they read it and its true! (WHICH IT IS!!) that means that this is the only church that GOD has established. And haha in the middle of it a random dude in the street came up and started talking to us! and would not leave. So I tried to get him to leave, then Bailey came, so he told me to go back and finish the lesson and he would deal with him. But hahah he just kept talking and talking and talking! But we finally got him to leave and brought the spirit back in the lesson. Then we asked if we could have 1 alfajore when we left and haha she gave us an entire box!! Which costs like 8 bucks!

So yea, the start of the week right now, started off really good!! Way better than the started of last week!!! I had some problems but was able to see many tender mercies of the Lord in the work! I know this is the true church and the true work because HE LEADS AND IS IN THIS WORK! There’s not way to deny it or see around it, this is the Church of Jesus christ, our only way and path to live with him again!

Love,

Elder Grigor

**the pictures of my head are pretty funny

The Lord is always there for us, right as times get tough, he helps us to know that we’re not alone!

October 16, 2017 

Tuesday - well today was cool, we didn't have a ton of things but we did talk with the wife of a contact we did, she’s really nice. We actually set another charla up for Thursday. She sent us a message (which we never told her our number but was on the back of a pamphlet we gave her) telling us she wouldn't be here, on Thursday. Which was awesome because it shows she actually cares about the lesson we’re gonna have. Then we talked about the temple with the Cox`s (since were going to the temple with them on Saturday. And we also played chess and I think I made Alfredo’s head explode, I beat him fairly quickly too. But I’m getting a lot better at playing chess! Me and my comp play a lot.

Wednesday - Finally!! we had another lesson (a legit one) with Rodrick Federrer’s cousin (the tennis player) his name is Javier, and he says that he believes in God but not churches, We explained the restoration and he actually really liked it! He said he was gonna read the Book of Mormon and he was really curious of the existence of it, since no one could translate in that time, and the physical proofs of the Book of Mormon deny the chances of it being made by a normal man. In the afternoon we met up with a less active lady who is reactivating herself, so we’re going over the lessons with her to help her remember because she doesn’t really remember a whole lot, she’s likes 27ish and was inactive for 6 years and went to church for about 6 months. So yea it would be hard to remember a lot.

Thursday - Well we had an intercambio (exchange???) with some elders in our zone, I went with an Oro (a greenie, a newbie) he has 15 days here in Uruguay, but surprisingly he teaches pretty well. He’s from Argentina, well he’s Peruvian but he lived there for a long time. And everything fell through today, absolutely everything! And it was a horrible day, cold and rainy, but at the end of the day we had another lesson with Karina, who wasn't doing too great, but we talked about the plan of salvation, and I think she really liked it, and  understood what she needs to do in her relationship.

Friday - well another day of not too much, pretty much the only lesson we had was with a girl named Flor, she’s 17 and kinda confused about a lot of things, god, churches. She goes to a evangelical one with her boyfriend but she doesn’t like it too much. 

Saturday - Temple day!!!! so yea, since the rule changed we can go to the temple with our converts, and it was awesome being able to be in the temple and being able to see our converts do baptisms again. They are really progressing quite well, they loved the experience that they had in the temple. Then we went to their house after that and found their friend Nehuel there, (he came to the regional conference a while ago) and we invited him to church. So we’re gonna see what we can do there, maybe he’ll want to be baptized as well

Sunday - the miracle day! Well in the morning we went to grab investigators, and we stopped by an old investigator on Tuesday and put a baptismal date with him. So we went by and he rejected us, saying he was gonna find peace by another way, but then in church it finally happened!!!!! haha so last time I thought that someone just walked into the church for the first time and would be a baptism (but she was a member) but today it happened! A dude that looked kinda like Andres Calamaro, he was wearing all black with shades on, haha and he walked in and started taking pictures, so we went out to see what was going on and he said he just saw the doors open and walked in. HIs name is Gonzalo and he was a really cool dude, but he was a little drunk and had a smell like he just smoked, but we can work on that. However we set up a lesson on Tuesday with him, so I’ll keep you updated on that one! Then another investigator came but she’s really shy, so she wants to go really, really slow, which is ok. As long as she gets baptized that’s ok with me! In the afternoon we visited a less active member that was not expecting our visit, but it was basically an answer to his prayers, so he said he wants to start coming again! Then we did some magic with some other people.

Monday - we played pool in the morning, went to the gym, and woohoo!!! I’m getting bigger and losing my fat, I weigh 195 now. Pretty soon I’m gonna hit 200!! I hit 205 before but that was because I was getting kinda fat, but this time it’ll be legit!

Well this week was very interesting, a lot of ups and downs, like life, we all have success and failures, but the Lord always blesses us when difficult times come around! And we definitely saw that in our work this week, we’ve been struggling to find good things from investigators, but we had Gonzalo come to church as well as Nehuel. The Lord is always there for us, right as times get tough, he helps us to know that we’re not alone! Especially in his work!

"I would run up and down the street jumping for joy"

October 9th, 2017 

Tuesday - so today we had consejo (advice) it’s the big meeting where all the leaders of the mission get together and talk about stuff, then eat some food, then talk about more stuff. But haha, so a couple days ago some members (the blind couple) gave us cups to me and Guerra, and I had to bring Guerra’s.  I brought mine too, because instead of Grigor, they put Grifor! haha so all of consejo everyone was calling me Grifor! I was dying laughing the entire time. But I think this will be my last one sadly, I’m pretty sure they’re going to drop me and put me training. After we finished our second p-day we got home and tried to have some charlas, but I don’t know what they put in my food... but I was dying!!! Luckily we were close to the church when I had to go to the bathroom, and luckily no one else was in the church at that time! Then we left at 6:30 for a lesson and it hit me again about 15 minutes after, and I thought no I can hold it!! I’M A MAN!!! So we finished the lesson and went to Alfredos house to teach them in 2 ways (a lesson and how to milk alfajores!). However my stomach was dying, and I didn’t want to use their bathroom because they would hear! 

So we get there and I asked Bryan a question, (about a week ago we heard Alfredo ask Bryan if he wanted to be baptized too, and he said yea! haha we weren’t sure if we heard right and we were leaving at that time so we decided to ask tonight). So I asked him, hey we heard you wanted to be baptized as well. Is that true?? then we said "what would happen if i said yea"  then I said “I would run up and down the street jumping for joy”, but then said “no but really, you could be baptized this Saturday”.  And he said yea I want to be baptized!!!! WOOOHOOOO haha so I asked him why? and he responded “well as you know I was an atheist, and all the other churches contradict what it says in the bible, and they teach so differently about God. You guys on the other hand showed me another face of God! I understand why he exists and why its important!” (at this point I had to go to the bathroom real bad!) So I said “alright my comp is going to go over some points with you for the baptism while I go to the bathroom, hahaha and my comp looked at me all worried and said “I'll make as much noise I can" (luckily I got off clean) 

Then we did a little noche de hogar with a testimony meeting and I almost cried. It was probably the most powerful moment of my mission, it was amazing seeing the change in them, thats’ why I love missionary work!!. Then we taught them how to milk alfajores.

Wednesday - we stayed in because I was on my throne all day

Thursday - we walked around sooo much this morning to find an ATM to take out money to buy food for the zone conference tomorrow, but after 2 hours we got it all! Then in the afternoon we had a couple lessons, one of them with a couple named Maria and Michael, and we taught them the word of wisdom. HOOLLY COW, they spend $450 a month on cigarettes and marijuana, so they were very happy when they figured that out and that they needed to stop! They said they wanted to for a while but just needed a push, haha its funny I was actually a little hesitant to teach that, but it turns out it was just what they needed! Then we had a lesson with a really cool girl named Flor (flower) well it’s a nickname, but she is 17. She was super open to the message, she doesn’t believe too much but we’re gonna try to help her. I think it’s because her boyfriend takes her to an evangelist church and they do a whole bunch of weird stuff, like throw themselves on the floor and "draw out demons" and she doesn’t really like that a lot. But well see how that goes!

Friday - another p-day, haha we had a multi zone conference and learned a good new way to read the Book of Mormon with investigators. Then we had to do an interview for some elders in our zone, then run 30 home (since we ran out of money) to get to our interviews! And... they’re getting baptized!!!!!

Saturday - well this was our 5th p-day this week, because we were in the church all day filling up the font, so we took risk with us, and some cards and played risk for a while. Then we had the baptism!! It was awesome, so Alfredo’s ex-sister in law gave us the reference of them and they came to the baptism and were super happy that they were going be baptized!!! Then I baptized Alfredo and Evelyn. Haha it’s been almost a year since I have baptized anyone. I always have a member,  or my comp does it. But it feels really good, and now next week were going to go to the temple with them!!!

Sunday - haha fast and testimony really was a fast testimony meeting, we had 3 confirmations and 2 baby blessings! So there was about 20 minutes for testimonies, and in the afternoon they did a cool activity that we should do back home. They did "a flight to the past” where someone was the pilot and they did a trip into the old times to learn about family history! but I have a better way to do it! 

Monday - well it’s p-day! and we ate, played some chess, and went to the gym! so yea and in the night we have a noche de hogar with a family so that’ll be fun!

yea this week was really busy for us, we only had 2 days of work in our area, but we had a really nice baptismal service, and brought another family into the fold! 

I love you guys, and I just want to share my testimony about the missionary work and efficiency of references, because without that family passing us the reference, we would never have found them, and now they are giving us references! So do all you can to help the missionaries! and even if it’s 1 person it’ll all start flowing after that!

Love

Elder Grigor
