Howdy! from Bolivia.
Random fact.... I have the same hairdo as Legolas from The Lord of the Rings today... awesome. I may or may not pretend to shoot arrows all day long today... o ya that makes me super cool.
But ya, how is everyone doing?! It has been a pretty crazy week. It has rained for the past three days straight... lame! Why didnt i bring rain boots? oi.. but ya, everything is going well in Sucre. We had a fun week, and i can´t believe the time is passing by so fast. This is the last week of this transfer... blah! and the transfers are so unpredictable lately, that i dont know where i will be next week. but ya, cool.
We had a training with the president last tuesday. it was super interesting. The problem was that the assistents had to come and teach a class to us. but their flight was delayed so they couldnt make it... so the president asked my companion and i to give the class in front of everyone 5 minutes before the conference started... o boy... but it actually went really well. It is a good thing that the spirit tells us what we need to say in the precise moment that we need it. And then, we had a suprise house inspection... phew! luckily, everything was clean. haha! o man. interesting conference. Then on sunday, we had to teach the adult sunday school class and then the primary... we taught them the apostasy and the restoration... missionary classic. and once again, the children paid more attention than the adults. haha! 75% of the adults fell asleep at some point during our class... geez haha. but it was pretty funny. we only had 30 minutes to teach, but we finished in time.
Okay so what happened this week? We visited the gigantic famous cementary in Sucre. it was super cool. the trees are huge!! .... ummmm o ya, and we ate sheep for lunch on saturday. that was pretty interesting... and it was actually pretty good. The computers here are super slow... and the computers here gave my memory card and flash a virus! ugh! what a pain. now they do not work. and i have to find someone with computer skills to fix them. Carnival is coming up too... this holiday is pretty much an excuse to throw water balloons at everyone in the street for the next month... not good news for missionaries. In feburary, the official three days of carnival, we are trapped in the house because it is so bad. ugh. but i am sure that it will be super interesing. haha! i will let you know if we get super soaked in the next few weeks.
O ya! So we were teaching this woman the other day. We taught her the first lesson, and she seemed really nice. Then she told us that she was a missionary too... for the catholic church. wow! cool. She goes out and teaches all kinds of people. But she was really cool about it, and she actually accepted a baptismal date... suprise!! Hopefully we will be able to go back and teach her again. ... teach a catholic missionary the gospel...... check that one off of my list... haha
Last Tuesday, We were in the street and a man just walked up to us and started talking. He was obviously completely drunk. He just started talking about whatever, and he bought my companion some chips... cool?... haha. so we started talking to him too. We were talking about the gospel... when suddenly.... he just turned and started talking to michael jackson, who was apparently standing next to us... hahahah o man o man. so funny. we told him that he should probably stop drinking. We taught him the word of wisdom and gave him the pamphlet... then he just started balling... wha? o man, drunks are super funny. But ya,.....Teach a drunk guy the word of wisdom in the street.... check that one off of my list....
Well, i hope that everyone is doing super great! Good luck this week, and let me know what you are up to. i love ya!
