Okay, well usually what I do when I write my letters is I have my agenda so I just look at the days and see what I did that day, but I forgot it this week, sorry gang. Something that has been way cool this week is everyday we have gotten up and played basketball everyday, at six! haha its really tiring but its way dope! And we have gotten a lot of the youth to come play after seminary and the other missionaries too. So it's way rad! This week was the conference too which was really cool cause this time our president talked about the Book of Mormon, and told us his conversion story que es super loca, so what is way cool to give a background is before he was a member of the church he was a bible teacher kinda like a pastor in a college but he never really had a strong religion so he always was looking for a church. He talked to the Jehovah Witnesses, Evangelists, Catholics and one day the LDS missionaries knocked on his door and he wanted to talk to them they gave him a Book of Mormon and he read the whole book in less than two days! He read it in two nights, loved it and continued to investigate the church when he was baptized at age 21 after 6 months of looking at the church! way cool and way amazing to hear his story
On another note a little less spiritual was for the longest time I have wanted to try guinea pig cause they eat it down here and she finally bought some and made it for us! Let's just say it was not very good... haha I was really pumped and I ate the whole thing but man, it sucked! haha and it still had the paws on it! But I ate the whole thing like a champ.
We have been meeting with this one family Mamani for the last week or two who are really really cool, they are always super excited for us to come and visit and they pull out the red carpet for us, always have snacks and juice for us its way funny and really cool to meet with them, we taught them twice this week and both times they just have tons of questions and are really interested!
Yeah pretty chill last week here we worked with a lot of members to have family nights as my last week here which was really rad. I´m really sad to leave this area cause I really love it but I'm really happy to be leaving too.
Well love you all and all is well down here in the great Bolivia! I´ll talk to you guys next week all about this new area love ya!
Well one thing that is way amazing about my comp is he can sleep with his eyes open! I'm not kidding I thought only Major Payne could do this.. but nope my comp can too! and here is a photo to show you that I"m not just blowing your minds, he is sleeping in this photo, and when he wakes up his eyes don´t shut and then reopen they just move!
We were able to send a package with an elder that was serving here in the Utah Salt Lake City Mission who was returning home to Cochabamba on Tuesday, March 13. When Caleb received his call, we were able to take Elder Maldanado and his companion to lunch at Olive Garden. At that time we talked about how he would take something to Caleb when he returned and that he would be five months in Bolivia. That seemed like it would be forever away; and now it is here. We are so grateful for this blessing of getting something to him. A pair of pants and some homemade cookies. We know he will love these whenever he gets them.
The movie COCO is the talk of Bolivia here haha its really funny i don´t know if it's like that in America but everyone loves it here! Andrew McKinley is a real stud and I'm glad that he will get something from home when dad said he was going there that's the first thing I thought of was him! One thing that is kinda hard is that guy who is coming home from his mission today I won´t be able to see him my new are Potosi is very far away you need to take a plane to Sucre, and after that a three hour trufi to Potosi and another hour ride to my area! So I think the package is not a problem just need to take that to the mission home or office but I won´t be able to talk to him which is a bummer. love ya mom!
