how is everything goin? so i dont have alot of
time, because this computer is so hackin slow. ugh. o well. i guess i
will just dive right in.
Our bbq last week was
totally lame. it wasnt super great, and the elders just came and ate,
and then left. we had to buy and cook and do everything and it just
didnt turn out amazing. i guess i am used to the totally awesome bbqs
in the united states... i dunno. sigh
so guess what? we have three baptisms this saturday
night. it is an entire family. they are really great. the dad has
such a strong testimony. their faith is so strong. we are going to get
everything ready for saturday. i am so excited... except i have to
give one of the talks at the baptism... and the president is going to be
there maybe. o man.... and then guess what??? i have to give a talk in
sacrament meeting the next day! o boy, here we go. needless to say. i
am going to be doing some major preparing and praying this week. holy
cow. pray for me and my language skills.
i am going to give another shoutout to my earplugs.
they have saved my life (or sanity) multiple times this week. our
neighbors have decided to blast their music late into the night. o man.
i might have gone crazy without my celestial earplugs. so i am so
grateful for the little things in life. you know?
so i finished the old testament this week! pretty
crazy right? it took me forever, but i am officially done with the
bible. wow, there are some good stories in the bible... and some really
tedious parts also.... multiple times i asked myself if i was reading a
different language or not. but the bible provides a lot of guidance.
it was ensured my testimony that the book of mormon is a second witness
of jesus christ. the book of mormon really clarifies what the bible is
trying to teach. .... now... the bible dictionary. ya!!
So there is a lot of beautiful vegetation here in
cochambamba. the climate is so mild, so there are a lot of cool plants
and trees.. but the trees are so.... sneaky. they have beautiful
flowers on them, but they are really dangerous to a person like me. the
people do not trim the branches overhanging the sidewalks well enough
for a 6 foot tall american missionary to pass safely... ugh. yes you
can have the mental image of me walking down the street and then getting
a face full of leaves . ugh dumb trees. and yes it happens to me at
least once or twice every... hackin,..... day. there is one tree near
our house that gets me every time. hahaha. my companion thinks it is
hilarious. along with every other bolivian on the street... o hackin.
haha
well i hope that everyone is doing well. i love you so much!! have a great week.
