Just Surviving...

Yeah know how I said that the days are long but the weeks are really short, that is only true if you are working but with this new comp that I have the days are just as long as the weeks. This transfer has been really hard but I’m over the hill now just have three more weeks. But one thing that is good about this is I have learned a lot about what kind of missionary that I want to be! 

Tuesday-One really big bummer is we have this one guy that his whole family are members, his name is Jonas and he have been teaching him for like 4 weeks and we had a date for his marriage next week so we asked him if he was ready and he goes yes but we were talking and we want another date.. we were a little nervous and he then says the new date... the 12th of April! FOUR months away! so we were really bummed and just said yeah that’s cool but we won’t be here probably.. but it’s all good they have lived together for over 15 years have 5 kids together.. Why not wait! ha-ha all good

Wednesday- We had this lesson planned with this one gal that lives in this little pueblo kind of, and trufis don´t reach her house!  She described where she lived by the color of trees!  And what kind of a road it was to walk on ha-ha! fetching Bolivia, but after a solid 45 minutes we found her, she was way cool and so grateful to talk to us and seemed really interested 

Thursday- I had a day in another area and it was with a new missionary for the first time here I had more time than my companion, but it was by only 6 weeks ha-ha, but one thing that was really hard was their person that feeds them for lunch is not a member and she works in the street, one of the mission rules is don’t eat from the street, but if whatever it was all good and we taught almost 5 lessons in one day that was really sweet! 

Friday- one way awesome thing that happened this week was about three months ago we had this one gal about to be baptized but she moved to Santa Cruz.. BUT she came back! We had a lesson with her today! So awesome and I think that she will be baptized soon, way awesome! 

Saturday- Elder Fisher here rolled his ankle really bad this week and he can´t walk for 10 to 15 days! So Elder Burrows a way cool guy here needed my help with some lessons so I went and did a small split with him for the day! He is way dope and we were together for like 4 to 5 hours and after which it was this other elders birthday and here they throw eggs at you and flour so we smashed eggs on this one Latinos head.. It was a good day!

Sunday- Or Sunday got switched to 8 o’clock which is way awesome, and we had 10 investigators in the church today!  So awesome and after we and a lesson with this little kids about the restoration and he asked if he could have a book of Mormon and then asked if we could read with him! Way awesome we try and give those books to everyone but most people don´t want them, but when people ask for them, it’s awesome! 

Yeah life is hard here but just gotta keep grinding!  All is well! Love you all and I love the mission!  todas partes, mas o menos!
