¡Hola!
¿Como estan? Everything here is going so great! Only 2 more weeks in the CCM!! I´m so excited to get out in the field! This last friday we went proseliting for the second time, except for this time we went out into the city rather than just walking around the CCM. It was so awesome! In just 3 hours Elder Glauser and I got 17 referrals! It was so cool! The people here are so nice and sincere. They are very interested in the gospel and even when they don´t want to hear the message right now they still respect us and are kind to us. I am so excited to get out to Barranquilla!
Today we went to the temple and did a spanish session and we went on Tour of Bogotá! It was so flipping legit! The best part of the tour was at the very beginning... wait for it... we rode a LLAMA!! It was so awesome hahaha! I will send a couple of pics of it. Then we went up a mountain to a Catholic church and a historical site of Bogotá. It was pretty cool. Then we went down the mountain to some shops and stuff. I didn´t buy anything. I wanted to get a Colombia Soccer jersey but the ones that were being sold were really cheap fabric. It was funny though because they cost about 15 mil pesos which is about 5 dollars. So I just decided to wait to get one in Barranquilla.

It was crazy though today! Today they had a thing in Colombia where only like taxis and business cars can drive. Meaning everyone was walking or riding bikes so the streets were filled with people! It was crazy! Oh also today was another transfer day so there are only about 20 of us North Americans here right now haha. It was so sad though because I had to say bye to one of my favorite Latinos and friends ever. I only knew him for 2 weeks, but we became such great friends. His name is Elder González. He was so awesome because he helped me with Spanish so much. He spoke quite a bit of English so he was able to help me quite a bit.
I am amazed at how much spanish I have learned in these few weeks. The hardest thing is remembering all the conjugations haha. They are hard. Just ask Matt and Bryce. Well I think they might think they were hard. ;) It is becoming harder to write in english. I can never remember when words have more than one letter right next to each other. For example, I couldn´t remember if anoint had 2 n´s or 1 like annoint or anoint haha. Pretty dumb right? ;)
I am loving this work. I am so excited to serve my brothers and sisters in Barranquilla. Keep reading the Book of Mormon. It has so much power! Also studying more about Joseph Smith is so awesome! He was so amazing! I want to become like he is because he was so loving and patient and just about everything that is great!
Well, I love you all! Until next time!
¡Ciau!
Love,
Elder Tyguy
Oh and ps. I just remembered. The other day I weighed myself and I have gained 10 lbs in these 4 weeks! Pretty crazy haha. You can add this to my weekly update thing if youd like. ;)
