Todo esta todo bien (Everything is fine)

Whats up fam! Pretty chill week here the baptism went through which was really dope! Albert was way prepared for this gospel and I'm way excited for him! Something that I learned in baptisms is how hard they are.l  Yes, it's hard finding these people and teaching them but the baptism itself is really hard.  You have to invite all the ward members and hope that they will show up, get the font ready and the church all cleaned its a lot.

So Saturday came and we decided to clean the church in the morning  and because we don't have a ward mission leader we have to do it, but its all good.  We cleaned the church and the font and we went outside to start filling up the water.  But the valve on the font was broken so it was impossible to keep the water in, it would just leak out and not stay.  We called the fist councilor but still it just was broken so to stop the water from leaking out we got a plastic bag of flour, put it in the tank and then put a rock on it!  haha water stayed in! Bolivia way, I love baptisms but they are always so stressful and always something goes wrong. 

But its a real testimony builder cause it just shows how real Satan is and how much he hates baptisms and will try all has to stop them! 

Anyways that was like the highlight of the week but it was all really dope.  When I got here we only had one lesson for the whole week planned, so we are contacting a ton and looking for everyone!  We can to talk to which is good I had a lot of practice with it when I was in Betanzos so I really like it now, and it really helps when the people speak Spanish too.  In my old area if you spoke in Spanish theywould respond in Quechua here they speak Quechua but respond in Spanish if you talk to them in Spanish which helps a ton! 

But its all good here in this little town Sipe Sipe! I really like it here and having a lot of fun. Something cool my pension that feeds us is super inactive and has not been to church in like 8 years!  Super sad but we had our baptism and I invited her.  My comp thought it was weird cause she would never come, but she came! and the next day to church too!  Really dope he told me that is the first time she has been to church in like 9 months! so that was way dope! 

Yeah, I love this place and I'm really happy to be here and my comp and I are getting along really good I love you all too!  Todo esta todo bien (Everything is fine)

This is how i do my laundry! Looks sucky but in Betanzos it was with cold water! So it's a TON BETTER HERE!
