Grey Clouds

Hey everyone, another exciting week right. When is it not exciting! 

Well I will do a little recap so that I won`t miss anything. Monday, we had a noche de hogar and we heard a message about how we need to be watching out for the music we listen to and the movies we watch because they affect us a lot! Also learned a new fun game that I can`t wait to show you all at home!! Tuesday, we had our classes, of our district and of a choir, who would have guessed we would learn to sing! Also had a bunch of great lessons! Same for Wednesday, just a lot of working! As for Thursday, we found a good amount of new people to teach, three new familes, lets hope they progress right! Fun Friday we had a good amount of activities, deportes, cine, oh and we had to pay the FBI of Chile a visit so that my companion could get his carnet straight! On Saturday, we held a class of cueca, the national dance of Chile, I think that I know how to do it from watching it so much ahha! And Sunday we had our break the fast party. If you know what that is, it is just a bug lunch in the church that we have after a fast Sunday so that all the members can socialize and we can all have a good time! Oh and today, we had a huge tourney for soccer against another zone. We won of course!

Well to leave you all with one thing that I am starting to learn. It is that the Lord calls you to leadership positions, usually not because you are ready, but so that you can become the Leader you were called to be. And one part of being a leader, and living life in general, is that not all of life is easy and nice. Sometimes life is harder that we want, and not everything is perfect. Something that I love in the streets that we walk by all the time, is this graffiti about how the grey clouds are a part of the journey. We need to learn that the sun, the stars, and the clouds are all part of life, and that we should enjoy every part of it!!

Love you all so much!
