Muchos son llamados pero pocos son Escogidos - Many are Called - But, few are Chosen

What is up my Fam! We had a chill week with everybody we  are having a ton of luck with finding new people to teach its way awesome, its really crazy to think of how many people are in this world and how many few missionaries are here we need so many more people to preach this gospel and give people the chance to receive the restored gospel of Jesus Christ! There are so many people who are waiting to hear it and want to but they dont know where to look.

New things this week was one that was super funny we helped a member in our ward to clean his porch and his yard out we were moving a ton of bricks around and getting rid of a ton of trash what we did was put it all in his Trufi and as we were getting ready to leave I asked if there was a place to put this trash and he said yes we than got in his car to go to the ¨dump¨ little did I know the dump he was talking about was going about 30 minutes up the mountains and throwing it into a river! hahaha it was like taking everything from the ward cleanup, taking it up to the B and just throwing it off ha-ha super Bolivian, as we were heading back all I know what happened was bad we passed a sign that said ¨do not throw trash here fined 1000 Bolivianos¨!  Super funny I saw that sign looked at the member and he just looked away, I started busting up laughing Funnest service projects I've done.

Something that is just.... great about the campo (countryside) that I have here in my area is we get to meet with members and see what the normal food is here we shared a message with some members here and after they invited us to eat with them we ate some onions potatoes and meat but the meat was so greasy and fatty it was so hard to eat I was dying with every bite.  But that's not even the worst part they live in a house that is also there mechanic shop! so there was tools everywhere for their work, in their kitchen!  So just tons of oil from a car from mechanics working, and while we were eating there was maybe 2000 flies!!!  I'm not even kidding I don't know what was harder fighting the flies on my face or my food! jajaja

Ok after two funny stories I should share an update on Carlos, the young adult that we are teaching he is way cool we have only shared the first lesson with him but he is way prepared he came to all the activities in the church this week and on Sunday he came to church again with a white shirt and tie!!! Super awesome, that never happens and after church he asked if he could come with us and visit people! So we did that with him and visited some member,  He wanted to see how the life was as a missionary and it was really fun to visit with him he has a ton of excitement for the church and it way fun to teach with him jaja I've never gone to lessons with an investigador that was fun!

yeah that's just about it for this week the Sipe Sipe is still way awesome and I love every minute of the mission life.  Love you guys too.   Have a good one.   All is well here.

Also I  put more photos in my drive and the folder with E. Pusarico, too!
