Well, all is well. Lets see here.
Happy Easter! Here in bolivia people just use this holiday as an excuse to go and drink. Not much going on here jaja, Church was kinda nice, they talked about the importance of scripture study, and Elder Holland's talk. However we did have some investigators in the church a new family we are teaching; I'll talk about them soon.
On Thursday I went on a split with a Elder Valdez from Argentina, he's from my group and used to be my old District Leader when I was in Betanzos, He's a good guy and we had a good day talking about old times and the old zone that was in Potosi. We had a really successful day tho, we found two new investigators and met a really cool family from La Paz, I'll send a pic of him and their kid it was a really fun cita.
Friday the sisters from Jardin, were having a baptism and since their church does not have a font they asked us to help out with getting everything ready and setting things up, it was a good baptism but something that I really loved was his testimony at the end ¨this is the church of Jesus Christ, and I will follow him, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.¨ short but powerful, the dude is 19 and has a tattoo of a bat on his neck, that's conversion.
In the night we had made a cita with a family a few days in advance it's a family that missionaries have been visiting often but they stopped teaching them. It's a mom and Dad with a little kid maybe 2 years old, amazing family we talked about the importancia of Christ in our lives and to always follow him, when at the end of the cita we found out why they stopped coming to church, so the mom actually has another family, of three other kids and the oldest in the other family is a member and on a mission in Mexico, they want to be baptized but they are waiting for him to get home and when she had the divorce of the other family it kinda pulled them apart and now her kids won't really talk to her, and the only reason they still talk is cause the son in Mexico. I think they will get baptized but when the kid comes home. He will need to help with a lot of things. The lesson was really powerful and when they said all this the spirit was really strong in the room and we bore testimony of the love that the Savior has, and how all of us have struggles, or hard things in life but we can over come them. They felt it and both started to tear up, we ended with a prayer and they came to church on Sunday!
And this was a week in the mission. Life is good here, love you all and pray for you guys everyday, have a good week!
