How is everything going at home? I am sure that fathers day was fantastic. So i guess i will just dive right in.
So last monday we thought that we were going to get free breakfast... but it just ended up being a sales pitch for a diet drink thing called herbalife... lame... and gross. do they honestly think that poor missionaries can afford an expensive diet drink... haha dream on.
i heard that elders can leave on their missions when they are 18?! wow. is that true in utah too or just south america?
Well dad. you are right. liquado is definitely popular down here. it is a really good and simple banana shake that everyone drinks down here. it is hackin delicious. yum yum. the members make it for us all of the time. I drank it all during my childhood, and now i am still drinking it. it is just so fantastic.
We had a training meeting, so my comp went there, and i got to spend the day with my old companions from the mtc. it was so much fun!! we visited some members and investigators in a different area. it was a lot of fun talking to them. especially because it was in english... haha
so the members fed us lunch yesterday... i have never seen so much food piled onto one plate in my entire life... ooooo. man.... hahaha. it took us like two hours to eat it all... ugh. i never want to eat noodles again... but it was really good. i wish i would have taken a picture.
So we had our baptism on saturday. it was supposed to start at seven, but naturally it started 45 minutes late. and my mission president and his wife came!! it was so great. I gave my talk on baptism... i think it went okay... i said one word wrong i think but no one explained exactly what i accidently said... so... o well. all three of them got baptized. it was a little tough for daniela because she was afraid to go under the water. but we got done. after my comp and i sang a song... i dont think it was very pretty... haha, i am not much of a singer. esta bien. but then william got up to give his testimony. he said that he had a dream about joseph smith and that he was reading the book of mormon with a bunch of people that he didnt know... he shook joseph´s hand and woke up. he said that it was a sign from god that this church was true. he was absolutely sure that joseph smith was a prophet and the book of mormon is the word of God. it was so amazing. the baptism went amazing. and the confirmation in church went just as well. they were confirmed, and then i got to speak on missionary work. it went okay. i read a lot of quotes and stuff. i dont if they understood me but it was okay. i think it went well. thank goodness... phew. first talk in spanish... check. done. o man the meeting was so spiritual. and now the ward has a new family to take care of. my companion and i are so happy for them.
Haha! i dont think that this would ever happen in utah... so before church started... a dog found his way into the chapel... there are more dogs than people here in bolivia... they are all over the place. so one of the dogs decided to do a few laps around the chapel, and all of the people were trying to chase it back onto the street. i just couldnt help but laugh. only in bolivia...
well i gotta go. i hope that you enjoy the pictures. and i hope that everything is going well. i love you!!
