Everything will Work Out

Que tal fam! Everything is good here this week in Sipe Sipe, I wanna start out by talking about Carlos our investigador that we are teaching right now he has come to church now three times and every activity that we have during the week and even accompanied us on Sundays to visit people, super awesome! But something really sad that happened was he was talking to his dad who lives in Sacaba.. Like 2 hours away and is a pastor in another church, and he was talking about the church and how much he loves it and all the members and his dad told him to not get into the church so soon that he needs to enjoy life first and think about God when he is older.. HE'S A PASTOR!! But it really hit Carlos cause it's his dad. And now he is not really wanting to be baptized but wants to keep coming to church and the activities he is way awesome and super prepared just needs a little of time, we taught him about prayer and how he can know from God, and not just from us or his dad and he is really just working on that so I'll keep you updated. I don't know if I'll be the one to help him into the font or when but I know he will be baptized in the future and be a great leader in the church, one day!

Brider and Tori! Something awesome, I got your postcard! When you guys went to Mexico! I think like three months later, but I got it! Thanks for thinking about me really made my week, and now it sits on my desk looking at the ocean in Riviera Mexico!

Well other than that this week was pretty chill on Friday was Dia de Cochabamba! and Sipe Sipe is notorious for parties and yup there was a party this time a parade our presidente told us that we won't be doing much this day cause its a holiday and here in Bolivia people are not in home but out in the streets or in Sipe Sipe with the parade so our pension invited us to come and we watched the parade with her and the family for a few hours it was really weird I felt like it was the 4th of July or 24th pioneer day ja-ja but the parade was cool i took some photos too they were some weird stuff.. and have a ton of weird Catholic Tradiciones.

Something way nuts is that after almost two months of not talking with Fredy and Guillermina (the couple we found almost 2 months ago and went to church in a car) you know that feeling when there is an elephant in the room when you are in a conversation, well that is what it was like ja-ja the thing is that when she talked with us, almost 4 days later she got a visit from the JW and an Evenjlica church! and got them super confused! We started talking to her and she had so so so many doubts about the church and questions and it was cause they got her all confused I felt really bad and again we talked about the prayer and the Book of Mormon and how she can really know the truth, it was hard to talk with him, but we have another lesson planned with them tonight so we will see what happens..

Yeah that's about it for this week, it was really sad, and really fun.  Love you guys.  All is well here.

Love ya guys!
