Teaching, finally meeting the Bishop & Freezing cold Rice...it's what's for Dinner!

Lunes- You guys saw my photos from last week I went to the AMAZON! so RAD we took like a bus about 3 hours in and it was so green and tropical, most amazing thing ever. 

Martes- I don´t know if I said anything about this before but my comp is really really jumpy, so I bug him a lot but with love.. With love.. So we were going to bed and as he turned off the lights and got into bed I waited a minute and with the ninja like stealth that I have I got out of bed and got on my knees and crawled over to his bed.. As I was crawling over not making a sound.  When I reached his bed I got really ready and I jumped up and screamed his name!! And without a second of hesitation he screamed, he screamed like bloody murder screamed! I was laughing so fetching hard and my comp after a second or two started to laugh, pretty sure he hates me but I thought it was really funny! 

Miercoles- Today was our Christmas conference for the zone, President Montoya is such a stud! He knows his doctrine so well! He was showing us scriptures in the Bible about the apostasia, one that I really like was Acts 3. 18.21 go check it out! After which he gave us like an hour and a half to talk with everyone and just relax, and his wife makes the best cookies I have ever had! Or in Bolivia at least :) 

Jueves- We have one investigator that his whole family is members but him no, he came to church last week and loved it! So we asked when we could meet with him and we found a time, we talked for about an hour and he really just wants to start over he wants to change his whole life and face Christ! He was so awesome and has a huge testimony of the Savior and The Repentance process, we dropped a date on him in the first visit, but first he has to get married. But way cool guy! 

Viernes- Something that is really good and really bad about this area is we have a lot of ¨investigators’" that come to church regularly but never meet with us! We have this family a family! with a DAD that come every week for almost 3 weeks now but they never have time for us! And we even cancel other people for them but then they just end up falling through it really blows! They show their faith but they are only receiving partial blessings. 

Sabado- In the morning we started the day with 7 lessons planned but before noon 4 canceled on us! ha-ha so we had a little time to contact.  My area is really poor, most the people here can´t buy drugs and beer.  But the ones that work , work just enough to buy it use it a lot .  This one area I have named Matadero every time I visit there I talk with some drunk dude, fetch they are so dumb I know everyone is a child of God and  I love them but they are so dumb, like kids we were talking to one about like his family and then he just fell over just right over.. We tried to help him up but then he started to just roll around on the ground! We let him be and walked away.

Domingo- Today was a pretty chill day here in area lindo, we had barrio council today and it was the first time I met the bishop.. I have been here for 12 weeks ha-ha. But he is really cool but talks wayyy fast! But was cool cause we set all the missionary goals for this area for next year, after which we had our dinner with the Pension and she is dope and really funny but she forgot to make us food so she hurried and put together a plate for us but this was a plate with potatoes chicken and rice normal all good, but it was cold.. Like freezing the rice I was eating was put in like a freezer I think because it had ice crystals on it ha-ha have you ever eaten a whole plate of cold rice! Let me tell you it blows.. 

Pretty good week all in all, also got my transfer I’m staying here for another six weeks and with a new comp named Elder Varela he is from Chile too.

Love you guys really excited to speak with you in a week! All is well down here!
