I almost kissed Spiderman, craziest day of my life, did the Gangnam style inmediately after

 This week was another great one! I feel like from the moment I wake up from the moment I go to bed at night I'm at war, going to battle to do everything that's possible that day. For me it's an adrenaline rush being able to do this work, each day is intense and I love striving to be like Christ, and do the will of the Father. It is satisfying and gratifying. I was thinking about that one day we did a grill out and the Elders had dirty charcoal shoes and walked all over the floor I had mopped that morning. It was in a way discouraging to see how dirty it was. When we face these moments in our life and we feel dirty, we have to do three things. Realize and admit it, decide to act, and learn and improve. I went to work again to mop that floor and it took a while to get out those black marks, but the floor ended up shinier than it was before. The Savior not only cleans us with His atoning sacrifice, He makes us shine after we pass through the repentance process. It may seem like a lot of hard work and time, but we end up better than we found ourselves before getting dirty. Have a great week everybody. I love you all!


With love, as previously stated in the last sentence of the above text, Elder Jerman

Hmmmm let's take a look here, forgot to send this last week (Sept. 13th, sent on Sept. 20th)

Alright well it turns out sometimes always I don't know what to put in these anymore, it would be easier if you guys were all here you can come if you want. The ceiling of the house is black from the mold but that's about it... also you have to iron your underclothes every day so that they dry a little bit more but it doesn't do that much. It's very humid here and there's not much sun these days. I might be living in a big cloud. Also you can't sleep in my house. It's against the rules. 


So this week I saw a side of myself I haven't seen in a while, I broke my streak and goal of not eating sugars when I broke down one morning and ate a bowl of cake and milk on my knees. Not epic. 

This week we had a focus on inviting our friends to be baptized. 2 Nephi 31 has been a powerful resource in our duty of teaching repentance and baptizing converts. It's important that we understand what that chapter contains, it teaches us the doctrine of Christ which is essential for us to be able to follow Him.

Hey what´s up how´s it going pretty good thanks alright see you later

 This week we had a mission conference and we stayed the night in my first area since being back after leaving Uruguaya, Parque del Plata. It was randomly really emotional because first of all the house was absolutely filthy and we always worked really hard to keep it clean so it was weird to sleep there. Also because of all the great memories there and all those companions have finished their missions. Then the next door neighbors who were members who we loved and did our best to help strengthen their marriage, turns out the wife passed away young which was sad because when I left we had helped them to get along better and to have a focus on the temple as their goal to get sealed. Then we went and did a spur of the moment visit to one of the most special families I've had on the mission and they were having a tough time without missionary support (because they took out the missionaries in this area). They were more or less in the same state as when we found them so we talked about the basics that would help them progress again like they were when we were there. Anyways it was also special to be back, don't get me wrong :)


The mission conference was good,  always good to see all the missionaries, I love them all and especially those who I've lived with. I miss and love all of them.

Had a great week working, last week we focused a lot on church attendance and this week we added extending baptismal invitations. We are driven each day by the desire to do the will of the Lord and achieve what he asks us to.

This week I had very special experiences in my personal studies as I've been pondering, studying and praying about whether the Lord wants me to extend the mission or not, something I have a lot of desires to do. The Lord speaks to us, all we have to do is listen.

Love you all!

Love, Elder Jerman

Fun FHE to celebrate everybody´s birthday no matter how far away it was.
