Week 19

Hey!!

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.
