Hola mi amado Familia,
So First of all, Wow cant believe everyone is getting their mission calls!! its weird to think that in 2 months it will be a year since i opened my call!! The time is just FLYING by!!! Congrats to Abigail, isnt that the same mission that Tanner Larsen went to?? She just needs to realize that her mission was picked in the pre existance like you said, i will be praying for her that she will come to learn that for herself! tell her to write me so i can congragualte her and give her some tips:)
OHHHHHh the good ol' super bowl!! i was sitting in church yesterday and one of the members came up and told me that the super bowl was that day and i was so bumbed that i couldnt watch it!! but today our neighbor came over and showed me some video of a fight that went down between the seahawks and patriots that was nuts!!!! hahaha i will just have to rewatch the game in two years:( hahaa i was truly rooting for the seahawks....
oh and i still havent recieved the picture book ha maybe wait just one more week, because we get mail on tuesdays so just give it one more chance:)
alrighty then, so as for me down here.....this last week was a little nuts......so on tuesday morning elder silva and i were studying and then president called us....elder silva answered the phone and he said he wanted to talk to me....(i was trippin!!!! thinkin why on earth would he be calling me) and he tells me that a new missionary is coming in that day and he wants that i train him with the help of elder silva until the end of this transfer (February 9) haha so right now we are in a trio with our new comp Elder Tomaz, he is from Brazil aswell and is really smart! the reason that he got here early is because his spanish got good enough in the CCM that they told him he was ready 2 weeks early haha he also speaks pretty good english!!!! So this last week has been busy trying to train him and he is struggling with some rules and being homesick but he will get through it. About him, he was a gymnist in Sao Pablo and was the Number 1 gymnist in the massive city of sao pablo! hes a little femy but its whatever haha super interesting!! The sad part of all of this is that president told us that this next change, next week, forsure either elder Silva or I are going to get changed......So next week forsure i will either have a new comp in a new sector or will be still here with Elder Tomaz. I am thinking i wont change because president kinda asked me directly if i would train him, but we will just see!!!
A funny thing that happened to day is that we were just about to leave the apartment to go to a goodbye lunch for Elder Gowdy when Hna Labbe told us that our sewage is leaking all in her yard.....so we had to call the mission and they sent a guy over after lunch and he told us that they wont be able to fix it until tomorrow at the soonest so we cant use the bathroom or shower today or tomorrow so we are having to have a little sleep over in the other pension of elders that is soooo far away from our sector.......itll just be another funny story for the journal hahaah:)
about the dogs,, so there isnt as many as there were in conceptcion but they are still everywhere.....they are pretty vicious ha its funny because we have this investigator that never had a dog then one day had one and i asked where he got it and he told us he just found it in the street haha
so that is pretty much my week!!! Still loving it down here, and am learning so much while training Elder Tomaz but its also super hard because he doesnt like being told what to do but i know its a challenge that i can handle and if anyone can help him i have been trusted to do it haha
Love you guys!
Elder Collins
