Hi everyone!

Alright i don`t have a lot of time as usual so sorry if this is really short.

First off i`d like to thank my fam for being awesome and being sealed in the temple. We visit a lot of families here that have had lots of problems with infidelity and other things and it`s really hard to see them go through some of their famliy problems. It`s really cool to see some of them beat their problems like the family Vasques. they were suspended and stuff a long time ago but now they`re getting married and have plans to go to the temple next year. So that was cool but i`m really grateful for never having problems like that in my fam. Love you guys!

I had to go to immigrations this week which was unfortunate. It took us a good 2 hours to get there and then we had to sit there and wait foreeeeeever just to sign one paper and leave. I`ve been illegal here for a good 10 months now so the mission`s gonna have to pay quite a bit of monay but that`s ok. I just hope i don`t get tossed in bolivian prisson haha!

It was cool going to immigrations, I got to see a lot of my Elder Buddies and chat with them a bit but it really messed up our day. We were going to meet with junior to remind him to go to church and stuff but we had to go to immigrations and we haven`t been able to find him since... darn it!

Guadalupe and ramon are still coming to church which is really cool. They really like the church and the gospel and the members are fellowshiping them really well. Ramon just needs to listen to the good words of my gal beyonce. If you like it you should have put a ring on it... Get married!

Anyways so we`re still working with them and the others. Elder Olmos, my companion, is super cool and is teaching me a lot so I have a lot of hopes for this transfer.

Anyways, i`m pretty much out of time but i want you all to know that i love you!

Talk to you next week!

Hola!

Oh my goodness, I almost forgot to do the big email! Uh well, I´m gonna try to do this fast.

So transfers were this week. I´m still in Warnes but now I´m with Elder Olmos. He´s from Cochabamba and he´s 24 years old. Super cool guy. Super smart and humble. Pretty funny too. We almost have the same amount of time in the mission which is really cool too. I was kind of tired of being with younger elders, haha.

Well Teresa, Guadalupe, and Ramon were able to attend church again this week so that´s super cool. We were actually in a lesson with them this week and they gave us milk. I think I´m turning into my good ol’ poppy cause I looooove drinking milk now. The only problem was that there were chunks in the milk! Oh my goodness so nasty. Holy cow! I´m just glad that we drank the milk after teaching them because I think I would have puked if we had taught after drinking the milk. But it´s all good now, haha!

We were able to meet this guy named Junior Hurtado the other week in the Mercado and we´ve passed by his place a couple times this week. He´s super nice but pretty shy. The first time we taught him to pray it was a little awkward and quiet but this last time yesterday when he prayed he sounded super calm and as if he were talking to a friend. I could really feel the spirit in that prayer. I think I had come to take prayer for granted and that humble, sincere prayer really reminded me of the importance of prayer and the power of prayer.

Yesterday we had a family home evening with the Lopez family and it was pretty fun until they brought out the refreshments. It was Peruvian Jello; thing made out of purple corn. I´m not sure if you guys are familiar with purple corn but it was not that good for me.

Well I got to go! Love you!
