Lunes- Last week was a pretty cool p-day we went out to this place called Punata where we took this tour of all these old churches and like old stuff that was in Bolivia it was really rad and after that we went to that wing place again and ate some more BBQ wings!
Martes- one thing that is really dope that we have started in this ward is basketball Tuesdays now there are rules here where you can´t play with members but if you have a investigator you CAN! So we invite everyone! To play basketball on Tuesdays and we have been having tons of success it starts at 8 and we usually come by at like 9 and play with them for about 30 minutes. It's way fun and it helps a lot to bring them to church and make friends, my comp and I just play in our shirt and tie which is way funny.
Miercoles- We have this new kid that we have been teaching whose name is Natanal. He is really interested and way cool his mom is a member but his dad is really anti-Mormon and he has never talked with the missionaries before but we have been teaching him the last like week and he is really rad and really interested! We first went to their house to just share a message but he started talking like he was a member of the church for his whole life. I asked when he got baptized and he said he is not a member! Ha ha way funny and way fun to teach.
Jueves- we were contacting in this area called V.Israeal this day and we came to this one gal who was just sitting out on her curb, we walked by and just started talking to her and she was way rad her name was ¨Yolo¨haha I´m serious and she was so happy to talk to us she went and invited her kids to come and listen to us too! We shared the message of the restoration which was way rad and they were really interested and told us they would come to church, when Sunday came they did not come but they called us at 7 in the morning to say sorry! That never happens! Familia Mamani
Virnes-in the morning I woke up feeling super bad like a had a really bad headache and I was trying to study my scriptures but I could not look straight I told my comp and then went and laid down for a little. I then took a 4 hour nap! I woke up and started to talk to my comp and he said I looked terrible so we just took it really slow, for the afternoon and ended with a family home evening at 7 with a recent convert Silvia tellez! (I'm all good now)
Sabado-The hardest thing for sure about this area is how far everything is and how we want to do all these things but we can´t cause time is a real factor, but we made time to visit this one family called Tenorio where we went to their house that we take a trufi about 30 minutes and then after hike this mountain for another 20 but we found their house and shared a message with them which was so awesome I have videos of us playing this game that I was not really good at, but they were so grateful that we made it which was way awesome!
Domingo- so Rodrigo y Sebastian made it to church! yeah I was really nervous but the were right on time today which was way rad and I was really happy they were confirmed this week, but after we went to this other ward in our stake where we had all the young men and young women where we just contacted for like 2 hours for them it was really rad and we got over 90 references for them!
All in all a good week and a busy week. Love you all and hope you are all doing good up in Utah!
Love ya and hope you know all is good down here in Cochabamba!

Here's some back and forth we were able to do:
MOM: Just read your email; you sound so great. Except for the headache part. Make sure you are drinking enough water...good water if you can. Sometimes that's what a headache is from. Maybe, makes my heart sad when you aren't feeling well.
We are sending your joggers to you with that missionary that is returning home next week. By the sound of it, if you are not in the area, I am hoping it will get to you. But, have faith; it will eventually. Still much quicker than regular mail; right. Sure love ya.. Package will be on it's way. Hope you enjoy it. Couldn't send a lot because he was limited in space, but full of LOVE!!!
Love you so much and pray for you every day.
Elder Clayton: haha yeah with Rodrigo y Sebastian, it was really hard but i´m really happy for them and they too were really happy! so it all worked out hey have you seen the show coco? our mission president aproved us to watch it and its way dope! the songs in spanish are a ton better than in enlish haha just thought you would like to see it its really good, love ya mom!
