Summer break

-

 Good morning friends how's everyone enjoying summer break?!


This week was good, with a lot more little successes than the last week which makes things more hopeful. We have Blanca and Alison on date now too! They are a part member family, where the other half of the family was baptized before the pandemic and since then, the 2 nonmembers have been the driving force to get them back to church and reading the Book of Mormon everyday, but never felt like baptism was for them. After reading a chapter of the Book of Mormon, everything clicked in their heads and they basically asked to be baptized, but they have some problemitas, so please pray for those guys.

Our homie Ariel has also been progressing slowly but surely. He reads the Book of Mormon everyday and believes that it's true, but it's hard for him to accept the other things that have come from modern day revelation. We are confident that he is going to see a miracle in his own life as he keeps searching for answers. So if you got room in your prayers, Ariel would be an awesome name to add jaja

Other than that we need to hit a little reset and just hit the finding grind. We just need some excitement to do it, but this week we are going to see miracles, we are sure of it. 

I finished the Book of Mormon again this week and was thinking about how much I have changed in my life as I have read and taken in the concepts and teachings of this book. The Book of Mormon really has a power that changes us and helps us to recognize God's little miracles and blessings that he puts in our lives daily. Few things bring me as much joy as testifying of the Book of Mormon and seeing someone be converted because of it.

Keep reading that thing everyday

  Hola hola a todos! This week we celebrated mothers day here in Bolivia. Mothers day is a way bigger deal and no one works, and no wants to talk to you which was an awesome day. It consisted of just walking around trying to make any kind of conversation. One guy asked if we even believe in mothers in our church. Nice one, I think he might have won that encounter  But this week was good! Our teaching pool has decreased and decreased slowly over the last couple weeks. A big point of focus has been to rebuild the teaching pool. We've been spending a lot of time finding news which is kinda what we've always been doing. I used to tener miedo to knock someone's door or talk to someone on the street in Utah in a language I spoke fluently, but now I have seen a huge transformation with the help of my loving Heavenly Father and I am not nervous for any of that in a language I'm still learning. It comes from the power of the calling that missionaries have. Elder Christofferson w...

  Hola hola a todos! I don't have a lot to write this week. We had Transfers on Friday and I got a new gringo companion! His name is Elder Diaz from Maryland and he's cool. We have the same amount of time here in Bolivia so we're going to be grinding the Spanish so that we can be a part of so much success in this great work! Something awesome before transfers happened with our family that lives in the house with the red door and red roof. I can't remember if I filled in some information on but basically that lady Virginia that we met and told us she wasn't a member ended up being a member. But! She has two nietos that live with her and we've been teaching them and they've loved it and are all ready to get baptized this Saturday. Their names are Nathaly and Johan. Nathaly just learned English by watching movies and reading books so sometimed we just talk to her in English while her little brother just sits there trying so hard to understand. It's so fun! ...

  What's up everyone, hope that everyone had a grand old 4th of July. We definitely had our little celebration for the country of the Restoration here, just minus the fireworks. This week though was pretty baller.  Saturday last week our first counselor had told us he had met an inactive member that was a returned missionary. We went with him to meet him and it was true. It was also true that he had an 11 year old kid who hadn't been baptized yet. Which is weird because his dad has his missionary plaque on display in his house as well as every pamphlet and missionary manual that you can imagine. The kid asked to be baptized the first time we met him, and now the family is coming back to church so that he doesn't go inactive after his baptism. That's why he hadn't been baptized yet. His dad was scared to have him baptized and never go back. We also met another inactive member that no body would have been able to find. We have a ward missionary that is incredible. Her...
