Another week down!! I only have like 2 and a half weeks left..maybe 3.. but, yesterday I was called in to meet with my branc presidency.... guess who's district leader! So I guess I need to step it up and be the best example I can be for the rest of the Elders in my district. I'm now in a trio, Elder DiPiero's companion left this morning for Kentucky! So its pretty cool that he's in mine and Elder Nash's companionship. Elder DiPiero had knee surgery a couple months ago so we just got back from his physical therapy appointment. It was SO nice to leave the MTC gates for a couple hours! The Spanish is still coming along.. I feel like I'm as ready as I'll ever be when I get to Paraguay, this meaning I know enough to get around.. I think I'm going to use that tape recorder that Aunt Teresa got me and send home a little voice message :)
Thanks for all the Dear Elders last week! Those are always nice to get. Jerry and Hellen send me a package with delicious orange rolls and pictures from my farewell. I have my old set of scriptures to send home in a box, so hopefully I can get them sent home this week. Also in that box is a little somethin-somethin for Dad and Clayton.. I'll write a letter in the box with them.
I'm running out of things to say.. My weeks are all the same in here haha. But they'll be better in the field for sure! I'm excited to get my suitcase with goodies in it! So, thank you Mom! I'm pretty stoked to see the ties.. Speaking of those.. the MTC has treated me real well in the D.I. tie trades. The one you called out to be my favorite, the white and brown one (I love), is on its way to Georgia with Elder Cram (the one who played basketball for Dixie State).. And in return from him, in my closet I have a tie from the Donald Trump Signature Collection.. Its real classy!
I'm really excited to see what these next 22 months will bring me! I cant wait to teach my brothers and sisters in Paraguay, and to bring to them the greatest gift of all.
Yo se que esta trabaja es verdad y real.. y tambien que todas las cosas en el Evangelio Restaurado son un don de Dios para nuestros felicidades. Yo se que Dios me ama y que somos hijos de Dios.. Jesucristo es mi hermano y salvador quien morio en la cruz por nuestros todos sentimientos.. por nuestros pecados, felicidad, gozo, infermos, etc.. Yo se que Jose Smith es un profeta y tambien Thomas S. Monson es llamaba de Dios. El recibio direccion para nuestras vidas. Esta Evangelio es el don mayor siempre. Lo a traves, podemos regresar a Dios con nuestras familias. Yo se que estas cosas son verdadero, esta es mi testimonio.
I love you all! Have a great week!
Elder Colby Dane Heiner
