Week 43

Hola! como estan?

This week was pretty interesting.  ... like always!!!  So last monday we went paintballing with our zone.  woo hoo! it was sooo much fun.  i got hit in the shoulder and in the back.  but Elder Piñel totally cheated and pretended that he was out of paintballs and then walked by and shot me!  o hackin.  it was latinos versus gringos... only slightly separatist. but whatevs.

So we were preparing this kid named cristian for baptism.  we always taught him in a members house. but this week we found out that he technically lives in the ward boundaries of Colon. the ward next door... hmmmm o hackin.. so we had to pass him over to the elders. sigh. that stinks pretty bad. but hopefully we will find someone else to teach this week.  

My companion and I were studying one morning and we were eating a little breakfast too.  there was one piece of toast left on the plate and i told my companion that she could have it.  i didnt want any more.  she didnt want it either, so we just left in on the plate on the desk.  we started reading preach my gospel together and when we finished a section we both looked up. my comp told me that if i wanted the toast that i could eat all of it.. not just one bite.  i told her that i hadnt touched the toast and neither had she... but there was a big bite out of the piece of toast.  we were a little creeped out... we totally have a toast eating ghost in our house.... kind of awesome.  in a way.

Last Friday was my companions birthday.  woo hoo. 2 birthdays in one week!  we got to eat pizza and cocacola and chocolate cake. yuuuuummm!!! we had another party with the elders that eat with us, and they gave her some more matte to drink.  cool!! this birthday party, the both of us werent partly sick... sweet

We had a huge christmas choir devotional in the temple yesterday.  People from all parts of bolivia came to watch it.  it was amazing!  We handed out 4000 invitations in our area and we have a whole bunch of references to go a visit now.  all of the missionaries were waiting at the doors to catch the investigators and bring them in to the temple grounds.  muahahah.  The activity turned out really well, and I got to see some people from my old area.  especially Zenovia.  my bolivian grandma that took care of me for the first 4 months in the field.  woo hoo They decorated the temple grounds with christmas lights, so it was beautiful at night too.  we are so lucky to have the temple in our area.  well i gotta go, but i hope that everyone is doing great and good luck christmas shopping!  I love ya!
