Hello family and friends, well this week has felt really fast, on Monday I had my last night in Colcapirhua we had a good bye family night with the familia Silez, like the coolest family in Bolivia I gave them some fotos and said good bye, as we ate a cake, they were so awesome and showed me a ton of love, I'll miss them a ton and am very happy for the time i had there to enjoy Colcapirhua, and all the other great families too.
Tuesday was kinda a blur, we had to wake up at six and headed straight over to the airport to pick up my comps comp. they got switched up and I stayed there in the airport with a few other missionaries until almost 11, when are flight was gonna leave but than it kept being pushed back until 12:30 we left to Sucre, got there a little after 1 and that's when the fun started, we had to send some other elders to Potosi and Tupiza en a taxi when my comp and I started for Sucre. It's a good hour ride in Trufi. But it was fun at lunch around 2:30 and started to go and look for some people to teach.
Wednesday in the afternoon we got a call that we needed to pick up a elder from Potosi in the bus station and send him to the airport in the morning, picked him up at 10:30 and 5:00 in the morning Thursday we headed back to the airport to drop him off to head to Cocha and do his Visa.... picked him back up at 3 in the afternoon. It was a very exhausting day. lots of traveling. but in the night we visited some members and got to know a few more people.
Friday we had our district meeting, where I met the new zone it's pretty dope we have 18 here with 8 sisters 10 elders, super dope I'm excited to be here and work with all these new missionaries, the zone is really new with a lot of missionaries less than six months our really old with like 21 months (yo). but it's all good you can learn something from anyone, good our bad. you can learn.
Saturday we were walking in the street when a bus drives by and gets off a kid maybe 17 and he's a member! calls us over and we start talking he's a recent convert, maybe over 2 years. and he says his brother who is 11 is reading the Book of Mormon and wants to be baptized!! We walk with him to his house and he tells us to come back later, we came back in the night and taught a lesson with him and his little brother who starting the conversation like this... "I really wanna be baptized the 1st of June, can I do that?" POR SUPUESTO! super dope class, taught lesson one and he was shocked that Jesus came to the Americas, but he believed all of it, way awesome! names Juan, he's a stud.
Well yeah that was the week here in Bolivia, life is good, we are looking for some new people to teach and getting this whole airport thing figured out. All is well tho! Love y'all!
