Week 18

Greetings!! 

How is everything going?? so it is June! i cant even believe it!! So it is supposedly winter right now, here in Bolilvia... but i dont feel it at all.  it gets a little cool in the mornings and evenings, but that is it. nothing a light jacket cant take care of... i dunno.  i am beginning to realize that reaaaaallly cold,  means about sixty degrees. haha.  they think i am crazy because i am not wearing a coat.  haha. o man i wish that they could see utah in feburary.  They think that i am going to get really sick if i dont start wearing a coat, but honestly, after running to make an appointment... i am sweating, not shivering.  haha.  o ya, so i am totally going to have a bolivian spanish accent... cool right?  Instead of rolling their tongues on double r´s  they just make the z sound.   so perro sounds like pezo.  interesting.  they just really like the z sound here.  it is a lot of fun to talk with the z and it is a lot easier for me.  haha score!! 

O man, so i read the Our Heritage book, in the missionary library.  it is a brief history of the church.  wow. it blew me out of the water.  It was so amazing, and i have recieved an even stronger testimony that this church is true.  there were some really amazing miracles during the restoration of the true church.  Wow.  I am so grateful to have so much time here to study the gospel and learn even more.  I sure hope that you are taking up my challenge and reading the book of mormon this summer!! i promise that you will recieve blessings and knowledge. 

Today we are having a BBQ with the zone.  and naturally the my companion and i are in charge of all of the food... what the hackin...  mental note.  take cooking class when i get home.  i dont know how to do anything.  But ya we have been running all over the place this morning trying to buy all of the food.  phew.  i hope that it turns out well.  bbq and soccer,  what else is there in life?

We have a baptism this saturday night!! ya.  Brayan is 15, and he is a really good kid.  he is so humble and he really loves his family.  We are finishing up the lessons with him.  His mom is so nice and is supporting his decision.  we weren´t sure if she was okay with it for awhile, but she came through and gave permission.  we are so excited.  He is a little shy and quiet, but he is a really deep thinker.  He really wants to learn more,  we brought a teenager member to one of the lessons,  and brayan told the member to be quiet and pay attention to our lesson.  haha awesome!! Brayan is just so super cool.  We are going to have our other investigators come to his baptism to check it out.    

we went to ward council yesterday.. and they started to talk about finances and some problems... and i didnt understand a word they said... crap.  i guess i have more to learn.  eh?

Funny fact,  everytime that i tell the members that i am from utah they always give the same reply.... O! you are from The Factory.   hmm. what is that supposed to mean? haha!  so ya, i just thought i should let you know that we need to change the name of utah to the factory.  because we ship out so many missionaries or something.  i dunno.   

well, i hope that everything is going super great!! i hope you enjoyed the pictures.  Enjoy the summer, and good luck with everything this week.   love you !!
