Christmas finally arrives, and Green Grass just like at Home

We were not able to send anything to him for Christmas as it was told that most of the packages are gone through and it is really expensive to the missionary to pick them up after the taxes.  But, there is a patient who comes to my office who is from Bolivia and her sister was going to Bolivia for Christmas and we mailed a package to Florida and they would take the package to him.  We were so excited to know that we could send him a better Ipod that he wanted with a screen, letters from the ward, his grandpa’s caramels, homemade cookies and just love from home.  However, it was over three weeks and we had not heard anything from him and was wondering what had happened to the package.  Come to find out, this sweet sister mailed it his area and with the help of Stetson and Facebook he was able to get the package at a much better time that was best for him.  I am certain and know that Heavenly Father is very much aware of him and knows what is best and hears our prayers.  Even when praying for a Christmas box.  We are so grateful this got to him and he was so happy!  The picture says it best!

Yeah the package was dope! Loved it the letters and the smooth peanut butter cause that is not here

Really pray for my comp please, the guy is really hard and its his way or no way kinda hard
but all good here love ya!
Here are some funny things he forgot in his first initial email; totally worth sharing with y’all!
The peanut butter is way dope and I love smooth peanut butter with Oreos GRACIAS
And the package in general was awesome!
And thanks a ton for the music! Joseph and the multicolored coat is awesome

One thing that is really funny is in the penision where I eat lunch we don´t eat with a table, you know how when you go to parties you have your plate with one hand and eat with the other that is what I have done for the last 4 months ha-ha, but at parties its like ice-cream and pizza, with me its everything chicken, pasta, hot soup kind of funny and I wanted to share that,

so my comp is a punk you all know so one day we were going to bed and I asked if he set the alarm and he did I then checked it and he didn´t so I got in on and went to bed, but during the night he turned it back off! But come 6:30 in the morning I woke up! Automatically! Ha-ha he then rolled out of bed at like 9 and he was so baffled, pretty funny

and then one other thing is he listens to a lot of really bad music like it’s all English that swears and talks about bad stuff so we were studying in the afternoon once and after like the 4th swear word I look at him and ask if we can listen to something that would maybe invite the spirit, he was so ticked he took the DVD player and his music and left to the room ha-ha freakin punk

Lunes- last week was really dope we had out zone activity and what we did was do a BBQ with our whole zone we ate tons of chicken and it was really cool to just talk with everyone and just sit back and get some chicken wings ha-ha!

Martes- I don´t know if you guys have seen the news down here in Bolivia but Evo (President of Bolivia) is making a lot of crazy laws here in Bolivia and people are not liking it, so there were some more road blocks and barricades here but its all good we just could not work again, kinda lame when we have these days cause we just study and call to cancel lessons with people

Miércoles- i got the package! yeah way awesome i got pics

Jueves- one thing that has really helped this transfer is the missionaries next to my area E. Burrows y E. Fisher he hurt his leg and can´t walk so they call us up every now and then which is really nice to go and help them in their area, we did that for about 3 hours today and it was really nice

Viernes- we were contacting in this one area and we kinda got a little lost from the main roads and we were walking on some dirt roads and we found some llamas! super chala! we took some pics and then talked with these three little kids ha-ha way fun. and then we found this one really cool gal who talked to the missionaries once but she moved and could not find them,.. and there we were!  So she was way stocked to talk to us.

Sábado- we got this one way dope guy that we have been teaching for a while he is the one who wants to wait to get married for like 3 more months, so he has all the lessons comes to church every week but just wants to wait to get married super frustrating but he is really cool so I guess it’s ok, but I won´t be here to see it which is really lame.

Domingo- we went to a bbq with our pension today and it was way dope! It was like in the area that was so so so green! And in a house that had grass! Like real grass!  Also got cool pics of that.

Yeah the transfer is almost about up and I´m really excited I think I’ll leave this area but I don´t know, like I said last week this six weeks are just kinda a trial, but it’s all good I’m almost out of it love you guys all is well down here!


love  y’all
