HEy Hey.
So how is everything going? how was Halloween? I just found out that there was a hurricane... wow that is too bad. I think it is so funny that i dont find out about anything until like a week or two later. o man o man. Well.... we had transfers yesterday.... My companion is leaving and I am staying in my area...... and i am training. wow. surprise!! My companion is going to still be in Cochabamba, but a different stake. so this means that i am 80% sure that i am going to stay in the temple area for three more months. which means i am going to be in cochabamba for christmas. yesssss! christmas is the best in the city. This also means that i will complete one year inside cochabamba without leaving the city.. wow! It ought to be pretty interesting. I do not know who my companion is yet. they make it a big surprise. i will let you know how it goes next week.
So something pretty crazy happened this week. It lets me know that we really are instruments in God´s hands. We were walking down the street and ran into a inactive member that we can NEVER find and talk to. We talked to him in the street. his name is Nefi and he is like 26 years old. We finished talking and he told us that we should go visit this other family that is inactive... it wasnt part of our plans at all, but we said.. why not? and then we asked if he could come with us. He really didnt want to, but he gave in and said that he would come with us to the door. We arrived at the door and knocked for like 10 minutes. they werent coming out, but we knew they were home. Finally, the 18 yr old girl came out and she was shaking... we asked her what was wrong. She said that her brother came home really drunk, and he was threatening her other younger brother, and the younger brother was trapped in the bathroom. Then Nefi immediately called for help. We stayed outside with the girl, while Nefi was helping the brothers out. Then we saw the drunk brother and he had a knife in his pocket and he was totally out of it. The backup arrived and helped the little brother and the sister leave the house without any trouble. we left after that and Nefi and his friend were going to stay and take care of the brother. Surely, God led us to go help this family at the exact moment that they needed it and we just happen to have a member with us that could help. That was a miracle.
So i got to help nurse some orphan puppies this week. that was pretty hackin cute. i am going to have to get a picture with them next time that we visit. O ya and speaking of animals... I had to kill a scorpion in our shower this week. my companion just about died when she saw it in the trash can. apparently when there are big rainstorms... all of the wildlife comes down from the mountains.. scorpions, spiders, rats... etc... needless to say, my comp was praying for a transfer. her phobia is super serious. ahahah! o man i gotta go buy some more bug spray.
What did i do for halloween? Well we helped decorate for the primary activity for a day and a half. it was a lot of fun. It was in the brazilian´s house. The couple both served their mission in the United States. In fact the husband knows the McBride family really well. it was pretty crazy. and interesting to talk with them. Their kids are super cute/crazy, the kids know english, spanish and portuguese. awesome. Then we picked up some kids and other investigators and took them trick or treating in the gated community above the temple. It was a lot of fun. I will have to send you some pictures. Well i gotta go. we gotta go pick up a new sister in the airport today. Good luck with everything and let me know how the elections go! I love ya lots!
