Another Week in Cochabamba and being an Obedient Missionary even when it's not Easy

This week seems to be a harder one, but he is hanging in there and understanding the importance of being a good and obedient missionary.  He mentions that he sent a few pictures, but we didn't get them; so hopefully next week.  Even though some days are hard, his smile shines through in his writing.  Enjoy...

Monday- Fútbol and Basketball we just balled out last week and had a good time with all the missionaries here and after had a cool family night with a kid who is waiting for his call soon.

Martes- my comp had more ¨problems¨ with his back today so we had plans today for four lessons but my comp and i went to the pension and he was complaining about his back again, where he then went to explain him problems to her and she then insisted for him to lay down and rest.... he slept for FIVE HOURS! five fetching hours in the pension! we missed every lesson and i had to cancel them all! but the day before we were playing soccer! the day before! lets just say the day of Monday is a miracle day for my comp...

Wednesday-We have this one gal that we have been teaching for a while and its freaking hard because her Spanish is not that good ha ha, but her Spanish is not good because her first language was quechua! ha ha ha but we had a lesson with a interpreter so pretty much a gringo, to a Bolivian, to a quechua Bolivian! ha ha oh Bolivia!

Jueves-I went on splits with our Zone Leaders the other day which was really nice to get away for a bit but one thing that sucks is the zone leaders are always doing something so they don´t have much time to teach so this was like my full day of just knocking the doors ha ha but it was awesome to have a day with another gringo,

Friday Sabado- I was really sick these two days, not sure what happened but just like the flu or something so I just slept all day  we made it to all our lessons but i slept and rested in all the other time.

Sunday- Elder Fisher hurt his ankle last week don´t know if I said something about it but his comp and area are really close to me so a lot of the time he calls me and we go over and help him out with his area because fisher can´t walk for a while so I have him every now and then which is way nice he is the Elder burrows from Utah way awesome guy and way good missionary!

Yup that's the life of young thug in Elder Clayton here, just keep grinding and all is well this comp is a hard one but its all good love ya!

i sent a few photos on my drive and one is a really chala video..
