Tall Enough to Serve and Stuck Indoors

Due to the elections and such, they had to stay inside for a couple of days.  And no pictures this week.  Being in Bolivia is hard to send any packages and with his brothers we have always sent a small Christmas tree and ornaments with decorations for their apartments.  It has been hard to know that I can't do that.  I am always amazed that Heavenly Father knows so well the whisperings of our heart.  He did send me a personal note that read: I HAVE A TREE in my house! I forgot to say this in my email, but the first councilor loves us and gave us a tree last night its 6 feet tall and is super rad! i have a photo of me with it and I will send it to you next week, sorry! Matt what a awesome dude! love you mom i´m excited to here from you guys in a few weeks!   What a tender mercy and answer to his mom's prayer!

Enjoy...

What’s up fam! hey kinda lame but my card reader that I have for my camera is not working so I can´t share any photos this week lo siento! 

Lunes- Last week you saw in my photos for P´day or 1st councilor and his wife took us to like a lake and we ate some way good pique Macho, it was really weird cause it was just like a car ride through some mountains and we were  on the side of a lake and because it was a Monday morning no one was there! It was sweet we had like the whole lake to ourselves.

Martes- Pretty chill day nothing really special.

Miércoles-we had splits day and it was super rad I went with Elder Hammond in my area and we taught a way fire lesson with a person with a baptism date next week.  This lesson was way sweet because it was just like a ping pong lesson we both just like knew what each other was going to say and it was so smooth.

Jueves-Another intercambios but this one was in this area called Cosmos and it is literally two mountains and straight up, like I’m not kidding straight up! ha-ha the whole time I was like why do people freaking live here?  ha-ha but it was way fun and it was with an Elder Stevensen from Vegas.  It was way fun and when you get to the top they have this look out where you can just see all of Cochabamba!  It’s so cool!

Viernes- This day was really weird we had plans for splits with another companionship but they were sick and so we couldn’t go, so we did all of the first 12 week of this week planned our next week and we still had tons of time so we went and talked with a recent convert, our lesson was on faith.. 120 minutes later we walked out and I honestly don´t even know what our lesson was about it was everywhere! 

Sábado- ALL DAY IN HOUSE. that’s what we thought but when went to have lunch with our pension cause thats all we could do and when we went over there she asked if we could help her so of course we said yes, so what we did.  We painted  these metal frames of her house; sounds really easy but they were like 12-15 in the air, and guess who was the only one who could reach the 15 foot ones.. Yup this guy... So I was painting while standing on a table, on a bench, on a bucket!  And after a solid five hours we finally finished, I was so tired and my arms were just dead after painting so long above my head!

Domingo- ALL DAY IN HOUSE this day we studied napped cleaned and cleaned some more and it was only like TWO!  Really boring staying in house all day.

This week was really fast because of all the splits, and two days in house, but I´m excited for this week we also have a baptism this week for a 18 year old named Alex he has had a date to be baptized for like 4 months and this week is the week!

All is well sorry for no  fotos, I will get more next week for ya! 

LOVE YA!
