Vinto, Hijo, no Mas - New Area Vinto - New Comp, and Ice Cream will make it Better

Hey gang pretty wild week so we were supposed to get our comps on Wednesday but there were road blocks again and we could leave the house but not with our name tags ja ja but in shirt and tie.  That was cool, pretty funny but we had to wait another day to get them, I was chill I had two days with my good bud Elder Dalton. But on Thursday was the big day and my new comp is Elder Peñaloza from La Paz, he's way cool super gnarly so we went to the MTC in August 1 of 2017... Before I did!! He was in Mexico and had a call in Mexico, but he had some problems in his family and had to go back home for a year, when he got the call again to come to Cochabamba!  He left Monday and started the mission again.. super nuts he didn't go back to the MTC just straight here. Super nuts but all is good. The area is kinda tough not gonna lie there is a Adventist University here and if you go to the church you get a scholarship mas o menos so everyone is students here and Adventists. But we will find those that are ready to here the resorted gospel!

Funny story and kinda sad so we were contacting and we contacted this like 40 year old dude we say hi tell him we are missionaries and he says, oh hi  you are from the Church of Jesus Christ.
I know all about your false doctrine, and just 2 minutes of waska. He told us to repent or we are going to hell.. I was just smiling and laughing in my head, after that ended I told him
God loves us and he loves you have a good day, and shook his hand jajajajaja! as we were walking off not thinking at all at what just happened just a weird dude I was not even thinking of my comp who has like 3 days in the mission!! I felt way bad and told him that has never happened to me in my whole mission and I bought him an ice cream.

Sunday was kinda weird we just walked in and everyone was like wow new Elders! But nope three more ja ja, E. Dalton is training too! So it was fun! All the members want to get to know us. It's really cool the ward is like 140 people! I haven't had a ward that big since my first area! Super cool lots of work here and people are willing to work too!

Yeah life is chill also there was an emergency transfer and now E. Fisher (Cameron is from WX and from our home stake) is in my district I  have not seen him in like 8 months! and now he's in my district that will be fun! Love you guys nothing really big in this email but all is good, love you guys have a good week, all is well here!
