4/4/16

SHOOOOUUUUTT OOUUTT! On April third some very significant things happened in the church. My father Robert Buma was also born on that date. Both incredible events for my life and i´m sure grateful that i only have to remember one date haha!. I am so grateful for my poppy and for everything that he´s done for me. I love you pop with all my heart. I hope your day was amazing! and what better way to spend your birthday watching conference! haha.

That actually brings me into my next point. CONFERENCE WAS THIS WEEKEND and what a blessing it was! As always it was awesome and I can´t believe how fast it went! haha when i was little i thought it was an eternity! hahahha! I particularly loved the talk by bonnie oscarson. ¨we know the gospel, but do we believe it¨ I loooooved that. The church is MORE than just a nice little cristian club! that was great! everything was great, but i really liked her talk.

on saturday and sunday we went around inviting people to conference in ninety something degree weather in our suits and no one accompanied us conference, so we got to the chapel after a 50 minute micro ride super sweaty and alone...but others came! hha that always happens to me in the mission. the people we go personally to invite can´t come but others do!

one family that came is the murillo family. they´re a contact that my companion made before i came here. they lost contact with them a while ago but we went back last week and we clapped but no one came out so we turned to go but right when we were leaving they got to their house from work! right on time! the brother actually used to be a journalist and he´s just loving everything that we´re teaching so he actually did like an ïnterview¨ with us to do a little article in a small paper. we´ll see what happens. 

(internet just went out forever, this email´s gonna be a whole lot shorter now!)

another guy that came is ever loaiza that elder solano and i contacted a week ago on an exchange

During transfers elder Aguilar from el salvador was with my comp and i for two days and we contacted a house right? they let us come into their yard and we were talking and the lesson was going great but at the end elder agular asked them if he could take a picture of their plant. do you want to know why he wanted to take a picture of their plant? because it was a marijuana plant! they obviously told him no and were much less nice after that... man! i know it´s wrong to have a marijuana plant but you don´t need to take pictures of them. I´m pretty sure they think we´re from the FBI now... oh darn.

I love you all somuch and i hope you have a great week!

Elder Buma
