Hey Mom,
This week we traveled a lot. We had a zone leader conference in
Medellin on Wednesday. So on Tuesday we were traveling and then
on Wednesday we had the conference and then on Thursday, once
again, we were traveling all day. We traveled by bus.
My companion is super great. His name is Elder Collins. He is
from Washington. He is Awesome. Sadly, he will be finishing his mission at the
end of this transfer. And more news: we work in a trio. We are companions with Elder Gonzalez. He is a new missionary and
Elder Collins and I are his trainers. He is from Colombia. So yeah, we are
doing good and enjoying things here in Monteria.
This week I had a very, very amazing experience. My whole
mission I have been in the city, and I still am, but my area is on the outskirts
of town. Part of my area is still under development so there are lots of empty lots
and fields. That means there is not a lot of light. In every other area there
has been so much light that I could hardly see the stars. This week I saw the stars
bright and clear for the first time in my whole mission. When I noticed the
stars and that I could actually see them I told my companions to wait. When
they looked back and saw I was looking up, they also looked up. Elder Collins
immediately knew what I was looking at. We just stood there in the middle of
basically a field for five minutes looking at the stars. What a testimony not
only of the great power of God but of his tender mercies as well. Sometimes you
just have to take a break look up and soak it all in.
Thank you for the recipes.
I love you and we will see you next week.
Love, Elder Rucker
p.s. My return date is a secret
muahahahahahahahahahahahahh.
