5/23/16

Quit it with the trunky emails! i still got time people! haha. But i did just find out that one of my best buds on the mish ¨Elder Wade¨ who shared the same hotel room with me the night with me when we got here to bolivia already finished... say whaaaaat! he broke his shoulder apparently so he went home to get it fixed.

Anyways, this week was saweeet! super cold but saweeeeet!

So there´s a sister that has a van in our ward named hermana amanda. she´s awesome. so we had an idea to have her help us pick up investigators and less actives yesterday. good idea right? anyways, she liked the idea and agreeed to help us. little did we know that her van doesn´t have any seats in the back because she uses the van to distribute soda to stores... so there we were in the back of her van bouncing all around the place on the dirt roads picking people up hahaha! sadly because of the cold Jesus and mabel didn´t come and neither did maria rene... but they´re still awesome.

The familia moralez came though! they´ve been inactive for like 5 years and missionaries have visited them forever and the never attended!... That is until yesterday! hahahahhaa! ya! not the whole family attended but it´s a start! Juan moralez even came with his granddaughter that is nine and wants to be baptized! we´ve set her date for the 18 of june.

victoria huanca also attended. she´s awesome and a mom of a recent convert. her son is going to baptize her!

Julio cespedez is sober again and came to church yesterday with his nine year old son! guess what his son´s name is... Stephen!!!!!! how awesome is that! his date is also set for the 18 of june. Man i really want to baptize someone named stephen.

So elder pitarch and i had an idea a few weeks ago before the transfer to have a fireside at church to help the missionary work. We had it yesterday and it was awesome! we had fifty people from the ward come and it was really cool. we watched a sweet video about missionary work, i spoke, my companion spoke, and the bishop spoke, then all of the missionaries in the ward sang onward christian soldiers. it was cool. hopefully we´ll see more references now!

loving life, loving the mission. loving everything.
love ya
Elder buma
