My Comp's Comebacks Suck!

haha its true. 

Hi! this is going to be a short email this week! 

I went on intercambios (where we go on splits with different missionaries) with Elder Sunday this Saturday and Sunday in an area called San Carlos and it was weird! haha I went to their church Sunday morning and when I got back, Elder Lopez (my comp) had told everybody that I had emergency transfers. haha. Funny story from that. 

Here in Los Brillantes we have like three main Hermanas that we call our "mama" and one is Mama Margaret. She has two daughters, one just got back from her mission and the other is prepping to leave. They are both really cool haha. So Elder Lopez was in a class at church and she was sitting behind him. Elder Palmer (another gringo) was with my comp in the church. She asked, Where is Elder Darling? and he was like, "Emergency transfers. Now he is in san carlos", and LEFT IT AT THAT! haha WHAT!? but, turns out that they were talking for a bit during the class and some of the hermanas in the ward were "macheteando" the crap out of him for "snakiando" (haha its like flirting,) [this is a made-up missionary word]. Thats what he gets for telling everybody that I was gone, haha. 

But then... (hahahahahaha) we went to a lesson with our recent convert family and ate corn on the cob with lime and chile and salt (it was awesome!) then he ended up having an allergic reaction on his chin and in his throat. so we went to Mama Margaret's house so he wouldn't #die haha and thats when they all saw that I hadn't left haha. 

I want to share with y'all that this gospel, is true. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the church that Jesus Christ had put on the earth when he walked these trails that we walk as missionaries, spreading his word. Yes, I am only 19 but I know in every fiber of my body and my spirit that this church is true. okay, maybe I can't hold my own if you want to Bible-fight me, you 60-year-old Spanish speaking pastor haha but I am preaching the truth, sorry to tell ya, you don't have it all the way right. I am going to be very blunt. Yes, as they say, "all churches are good" but if you are not in the TRUE church, you are only wasting your time and maybe even your money. I say that with the most love that I can put into some words on a screen haha. Nah, I ain't a perfect teacher and I may say something offensive on accident because I am still learning Spanish, but that is what the Holy Ghost is for. To put the feelings that you feel when you read and listen to truth. 

I love EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!! And I especially love YOU! whoever you are that is reading this, I love you, a whoooooooooooooole lot haha #CarlsonChalkThrower. 

Thank you! Thank you! I will be here next week! Goodnight Washington! or Utah! or England! wherever you are when you read this, Goodnight!!! 👍
