Hey Mom,
This
week was an adventure. On Tuesday I said goodbye to all my friends
in Buenos Aires. I was sad to go. I learned a lot from the people and the
members.
Wednesday,
I traveled all day. We started our journey from Medellin to Monteria at
9:00 in the morning and got to Monteria at about 8:00 at night. It is an 11
hour bus ride. It was weird at first—we were in the mountains then after a
while, rolling hills and finally flat lands. For the first time in my mission I
can’t see the mountains. 
Thursday,
my first full day in Monteria was not too bad. It was hot and humid but all
right.
You
know how when it rains a lot and the street outside our house floods a little?
Well, on Friday it rained just a little bit and flooded the whole street. There
was a creek in the street!
We
had stake conference this weekend and it was super cool. They did a broadcast
from Salt Lake. Elder Holland spoke and a couple other general authorities.
There
are the highlights of the week.
Love,
Elder Rucker
"For, behold, I have refined thee, I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction" 1 Nephi 20:10. This scripture is really great to explain where I am
at. Just follow the link and then scroll down a bit and do a little
converting of temperatures and you will see why.
Apart
from being a great scripture to explain where I am at it is also a great
scripture with a great teaching. If you notice the word "in
the". God does not always wait until after the trial. He acts when
we are ready, most of the time "in the" middle of our trial.
Cool
video to watch when you have lots to do.
