Week 17

Hey Hey!

How is everyone doin?  So i am sending some more pictures. it took hackin forever to load so now i dont have much time.  ugh.  well I finally got my mail.  I would like to begin with a giant shoutout to everyone that sent me letters!! Mom, Dad, Aunt Julie, Grandma, and Danica.  you guys are the coolest.  i got six letters all at once.  my zone leader finally went to the mission office and picked up the mail.  so ya, pouch mail and normal mail works, it should take about three weeks. more or less to get here.  sweet sauce.

Well yesterday was mothers day ... here in bolivia.  so naturally everyone was visiting family, and no one wanted to talk to us.  our appointments fell through and we were just lost and alone yesterday.  hahaha.  esta bien.  i was able to study and write some letters.  but something crazy happened.  we had lunch with a family yesterday, and they had the cutest dog.  it was a cockerspaniel. the same type of dog that i had when i was a kid.  and so i asked what her name was... her name is Nena.   wowowo! that was my dog´s name..... so ya, i played with a cockerspaniel named nena.  same name, same type of dog... cool. 

we have three baptisms scheduled in the next two weeks.  brayan is scheduled for the 9th of june, and william and leticia are scheduled for the 16th of June.  it is going to be amazing. they are super great investigators and they are so ready to receive the gospel, 

i have realized that i cannot understand people from Chile.  they talk like three times faster than everyone else. o my hackin.  the elders from chile are sooo hard to understand.  ppl from chile and argentina talk a lot faster than everyone else.. ugh  patience. ahha

so there is a new culture difference i have discovered.  shrugging your shoulders means for americans... i dont know.... but for latinos it means... i dont care at all.  haha.  woops.  my companion let me know the difference.  haha sorry!!

we went to an appointment. it was a first contact because they were a reference from a member.  so they let us into the house and then.... ya we walked right in during a funeral.  their uncle had died and there were like 30 ppl just sitting there... awkward.. their faces just said... what the hackin is that blonde girl doing here?? o welll needless to say we rescheduled. 

okay well i have got to go. i hope that you enjoy the pictures. they are from bolivia and peru if you are confused.  thanks for all of the emails and letters. they are so awesome.   i love you!!
