So Worth It!

This week was the fastest in my mission so far! I feel like yesterday was P-day...

I'm planning on getting my camera fixed this week so that'll be great. Then I can send more photos after that happens.

If you're wondering which of the Elders in the photos from last week is Elder Coronel, He's the dark, short guy with glasses. If you're wondering which Elder is me, well then... it's either been too long, or you shouldn't be reading this...

I hear Elder Andino is back in Bogotà! Maybe I'll get to see him.

So our area, Federman, includes the huge Bogotà stadium, where famous bands come and play when on tour here in Colombia!  One Direction came here like 2 weeks before I arrived at this area. The stadium is pretty close to our house. It's about a 10-minute walk to get there comfortably.

I can't wait to send some photos of all the cool scenery there is around here!

Yesterday (Sunday) the entire Rodriguez Family came to church!! During the gospel principles class, Oscar and his wife (Angelica) and mother (Iligia) all actively participated and answered questions! The class topic was Missionary Work and sharing the gospel with others. Oscar volunteered to demonstrate how to share The Book of Mormon with a stranger (with Elder Coronel as the stranger). It was a great class and really funny! We were so happy and surprised to see them there! Elder Coronel and I agreed that is was a miracle and blessing from the Lord!

One thing you learn on the mission, is that to find the chosen people that are prepared, you need to push through hundreds of people and miles to get to them. It can be tough and discouraging but when you find the golden ones it makes it all so worth it!

-Till next week

Love Elder Zierenberg
