Hey Family and Friends, 

So, what to say. This past week went by really fast and I cant believe it. Ya, we are here in October........What happened to August and September....lol??? But things are going great today. Sadly, we won't be having the baptisms for some reasons, but they will happen later on. 

But in other news, I am doing great here. Last night we were going to have a show de talentos...It got postponed to today at 4, because there was no power yesterday. Sad, because there were a lot of people ready to come. I think that not too many people will come today...sooooooo we will see how it turns out. 

What else? Cambios are this week, so it will be another packed week. I will also being going to the Andes city of Pasto for the interviews that are starting this month. Hopefully we will make it there this time. I want to go on an airplane.....haha. 

Elder Welling focused.
 But I am excited for today. We will have the highest number of converts that we have had in 25 years here in the mission. It was a great month this month in Septiembre. I am excited. But basically that is it for me. 

Today I ate at Subway, so I am all good. haha. Too bad I don't have dad's subway card to always get sandwhiches. haha. Love you all and hope you are all doing great!!!!!!!!

Hey Family and Friends, 
This has been the longest week of my life...and I don't know why..I do, but didn't know it would make me feel so tired. But I have been extremely tired. haha. 

But anyways, starting from Monday we had a good day. the mission is going really well and everything. We mainly just met up with Pres Prince to talk about the Consejo that we were going to have on Thursday. So that was cool. 

Tuesday in the morning we woke up way early. My comp, and I headed out to Buenaventura, it was awesome--yes, awesome!!!! I went to go and do a lot of baptism interviews, it went really well. I had the best and good time seeing a lot of people, my family from Buenaventura-it was so awesome to see them again!!. I got to do some interviews for some people that I had interviewed when I was there before as ZL with Elder Belnap and my bro Elders, was awesome. But they are all doing well. Had a lot of fun seeing old friends too.(pics to come.) 

Then we came back to Cali on Wednesday in the morning and we had some more time with Pres Prince planning the mtg with the ZL's. On Thursday we had the Consejo de Liderazgo. It went really well. Probably the best one I have ever been in. The mission in this moment is going really well, and we are trying to help it do better. 
                                                                                             
Happy with his BV family!
So, at the end of Consejo the whole world left super happy, because we have a big chance to break the highest mark in the last 25 years here with number of converts this month. Hope we can do it to help the reino de dios crecer. I am doing really well and loving it. 

We will have a baptism next Saturday, so we are doing well. I don't know what else to say, we played soccer again. We won. muhaha But other than that, things are good and ya. Love and miss you all. 


OHHH and Hermana Prince had her birthday, so I made her a cake...it was better than the other one :) It was awesome!

Hey family and friends, this last week was relatively good. I honestly am shocked by how fast time goes by when I am in the office. haha Its nuts. But things are going great. This week..well today we are having another baptism of a girl who's name is Valentina. She is from Buenaventura, so awesome! She is way cool and ready. This week was kinda a slow week. Normally we were in the office doing a lot of research for how we can help the mission get better. We have been thinking a lot with Pres what the next 3 months will be like and what can be the campaign for those upcoming months. It's going well. 

Today, we are headed out with President to a mtg in the city of Palmira to a district mtg. Should be fun. He asked us to come along to do a demonstration with him at a point during the conference. Should be fun. I am excited. 

This week we have Consejo with the ZL,s and then next week we will be having Cambios!!! ahhh its nuts. the transfer fly by!!! But its all good. We had 14 people at church last week so that was awesome. The next Saturday we should have another 3 baptisms. So we will see what we can do. Lots of people are ready to hear the gospel. Love it. Love you all and miss you all....well, not too much more to say today. haha 

Its malk, no its MILK...MILKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
