You are probably a little confused on why I am titled this Dab, but its because here in Bolivia, or my ward/other missionaries I am known for one thing I dab, haha, am I proud of this? no. But this place has never heard of it, and it is my favorite thing to see other people dab for the first time. I´m not kidding these people are so funny they are so humble and down to earth and why they dab! Ahh kills Me! There is a video in my drive of a chilita Dabing she speaks only Ketchua, I speak more spanish than she does haha but she is dabbing in it super funny!
Monday- First day of playing basketball! Ahh so sweet, we got a game together with our 1st councilar and an invistigador, i´m no Lebron James but put me up with a coupld of Bolivians and a Chillian and I shine.. But seriously super fun and then later in the night we had the interview with Advirtina for babtizm she was so nervous but she is really ready and this time she was ready all the way!
Martes- Something kinda funny this day, my comp bought a hat yesterday because the days are really hot here and you can wear those like cowboy hat )Testifiers of Jehovah hats) and I’m not kidding looks like a Jehovah Witness! ha-ha but funny story we were contacting when we met with this one guy and we shared a short message with him and after we asked if we could close in a prayer he said yes and then offered to say it.. The prayer exactly.. ¨God thank you for this day, thank you for my family, and thank you for these Jehovah Witnesses..... In the prayer my comp laughed! I told him the whole time! ha-ha we sit him straight after..
Wednesday- We had a lesson with Jonathan and we were talking and you could tell something was bothering him, like he had a question so I asked him what was up and he just like exploded with all these things that he read on Facebook and YouTube about Joseph and the Book of Mormon just all this false doctrine! and he was so confused, and his sister goes to another church and she was just talking all this heat on los Mormons, we asked him what he felt when we went and visited the temple and when he was in church and he said peace and happiness, but he was so confused, it was so hard to say that who you should be asking is God and not YouTube, he didn´t come to church this week that was really hard, keep him in your prayers Jonathan Parra.
Juaves- In our area we have this one town that’s all dirt roads and everyone is just scattered around on mountains and we were contacting here when we found this one girl Avian, she agreed to meet with us last week and today was the day, we had visit planned at like 7 and it was pitch black outside, and we are walking on this dirt road with dogs barking at us and the only light we have is lighting flashing every like 20 seconds, seriously like a movie. So we just started walking down this dirt road and after about 15 minutes we are losing hope, and we just start to call out her name Avian! Avian! But nothing was happening, we started to make our way back but this door opens in the distance and a voice yells “you´re late! It was her! She called off all the dogs and we made our way down to her, we started talking and she said that a couple days ago she prayed to know what church was true and she was really confused on why there was so many different churches, and then next morning she met with us! She KNEW that was her answer, we gave her a baptism date and I´m really excited to talk with her again. OH yeah I drove a car today, it was the 2nd councilors car and I talked him into it and it was only like 5 blocks but seriously super awesome! The gear shift was on the other side of the wheel? I don´t know
Friday- Thursday night we had like these cake things and they made me like really sick, I don´t know and they tasted so good too! But all day I sleptjust slept. My comp studied and marked up like his whole Bible ha-ha, it was uneventful.
Sabado- Baptism! it went through! Her name is Advirtina Bautista Aguilar, she is super chala! I don´t know if you remember but she is the one where I asked if we could get on our knees and ask God what to do? But she is so awesome, probably the only person here in Bolivia that is on time ha-ha, But she is really shy and nervous but, oh man when she prays it’s so awesome! seriously sounds like she is talking directly with God, which she is, but it’s just amazing, OH tambien I did the Baptism, and it was good the first time!
Domingo- We have this one investigator that is around 18 years old and he is way awesome he when he asks questions they are really from the heart and you can tell he loves this Gospel, but he is really hard to set visits for, he has been an investigator with a date for almost 4 months no and its cause he shows really low faith, so yesterday we sat him down and said we can´t visit you anymore because you are not really progressing, it was so hard because he is really awesome but when they are not progressing you can´t teach them, so we gave him an ultimatum, he either has to come to church tomorrow at 10 for all three hours or, we can´t visit him. And then we left his house, feeling really sad and depressed we went to church the next day and we sat down about 5 minutes before and in walks Alex! The investigator! It was so awesome, he was so happy and he got work of somehow to come with us, it was so sweet, and we were so happy and the end of church to ask when we could visit him again? Milagro
All in all pretty good week really up and down, love you all. All is well down here!
