Mission Week 22, Bogota City Week 5, "We went to the Temple."

This week was another hard working week. We had a lot of time to contact since none of the people we planned on teaching would answer their phones. This week was also election week. For voting here they shut down the main streets in town and put up tents for people to go in and vote. We found this super good bread market to go eat at that sells this HUGE croissant with chocolate and powdered sugar on it. This Saturday all of the moms met in the chapel here in Cedros for a special something. I was able to serve all of them pan con chocolate! ( bread with chocolate)

On Thursday we the marriage of Sebastian and Alejandra!!!! YES (I got a pic). This Saturday we had his baptism and then on Sunday he was confirmed a member and given the gift of the Holy Ghost. I was able to participate in his confirmation!

This Friday we went to the temple for the first time since I was in the MTC! We went through with Juan Josè and carlos Javier. Both are our recent converts. They both had the opportunity to do baptisms for the dead for the first time in their lives! Juan Josè was able to actually help with baptizing! That was something special to see for me. During our time in the temple I was actually able to help with confirming a lot of the names! Elder Arteaga and I we're just sitting down watching Juan Josè and Carlos when one of the temple worker came up to us and asked us for help in the confirmation room. What was awesome was they asked me to do the confirmation part. First time doing that and it was in Spanish haha.

Other than that we've just been grinding hard trying to find new people to teach and baptize :)

Love you all and hope you have an amazing week.

Love, Elder Horton

Impressions of Bogotà 

1. If you want stuff from the USA, you have to go to Price Mart (Its basically Costco) But you have to buy a card in order to get in. It`s 35 mil!!
2. In order to get around town here you have to take the Transmilenio (sets of buses that have specific routes)
3. People will start trying to speak to you in English when they see you which is pretty great since we get a lot of good contacts in that way haha
