All is Well in Cochabamba!: Just Workin....and Smiley Faced Shoes!

Hey whats up fam? We got some new transfers here and my comp is leaving to head to Potosi and I'll be getting my new comp E. Brieño from Peru, he has like 9 months in the mission or so, I know him a little but he;s kinda famous cause he has had problems with all his comps.. and five emergency transfers, I'm really nervous but hope I can just get along with the guy, but it's all good tengo fe (I have faith - translated)

We have been teaching this one dude named Juan Carlos for a few weeks ago and now and being vacations we haven't seen him for like two weeks but we finally got to talk to him this week again and he is still really excited about the church and we are going to get him a baptismal date this week! he is really cool just kinda quiet is all. But we will get him some homies and he will be golden!

One thing that was way cool this week is I went on on a split with a Elder Rugel from Ecuador and we got up and went to this little pueblo in the morning my comp never wants to go there so I go when I can in splits and we went and just knocked some doors and contacted for a few hours and we found this one girl started talking to her told her we were misionaros and the church of JCoLDS and after like 10 minutes of talking she goes well actually I have a church [the Mormons[thats what she said! I started laughing and said we are the Mormons and she showed us her BoM she was a member! ha ha just visiting this pueblo for the weekend ha ha super funny and told her it was nice to meet her but way funny contact.

If you have ever looked up my map here, in Sipe Sipe it's almost as big as all of Cocha not kidding and there is a little place called tres cruzes where lives a family of 6 who are members but live almost 2 hours from the nearest church so they have the ordenanza (ordinance) en there house to take the sacrament so we went with a member and he took us there we shared a message with them and they were so humble! they have a house maybe as big as our kitchen and it;s just full of bunk beds they were so happy we came and it was really fun to talk with them I wanna go there one Sunday and take the sacrament with them but it will be hard, they don't speak Spanish.. I think my whole mission will be like this just Quechua every where I go!

This week and every second Saturday of the month we go to the temple with our ward! It's awesome cause if we get investigadors to go we can go too, so we got three people there and shared a message about the temples that we have, it was way awesome the spirit is so strong and we didn't even go in! Something that is really hard here is we almost never go to the temple, the missionaries last time I went was maybe in February to do a session but it's all good I'll go a ton when I get home! and I'll take all you guys too!

Something that I've started is in my studies I'm studying 30 minutes of the Book of Mormon and then reading the New Testament for 30 minutes I'm now in Mark 10 and I love it the life of the Savior is so awesome, He was perfect and just wanted to help others and that is just what God wants for each of us is try to be like Him, follow Him. Try our best to do what is right and help others whenever we can. Rey de Reys (King of Kings -translation)
