Well fam a pretty interesting week. So we would able to find 14 investigators this week which is pretty normal, but here a lot of the investigators you find stop being investigators in like 2 weeks, so thats why we our mission teaches that its so important that we find new people every week so that we can the find the people that are ready to receive the gospel. And the cool thing this week was that in all of the lessons with the new people this week we taught the BoM in almost every lesson and they were all super interested to hear the Jesus Christ came to the Americas. Well Saturday night they called us with the transfers and they told me im going to Tarijia! Its a department in Bolivia. So I was in Santa Cruz in the city, but tarija is pretty far. So today in the morning at 6 am we had to be at the offices and they we took a plane to tarijia, its only like an hour flight, but super far from everything haha. But its super cool here and a tonnn cleaner than Santa Cruz and less hot. So Im pretty stoked to now the area and everything. My new companion is Elder Bogges from Billings, Montana, another gringo!! Pretty crazy ive only had 1 latin companion in my 5 companions. But hes super cool and im stoked to be with him. Well thats about fam. It was pretty sad to leave my old area, but the Lord needs me in a different place haha. We didnt do anything for Thanksgiving because they dont believe in that here so that was dissapointing. Well love and miss you all!!

Well fam this is the last week in the this transfer and the last week being a trainer! Pretty crazy how fast these 2 tranfers have passed by.. But its been a super cool opportunity to be a trainer and to learn a ton from my companion, Elder Beazer and he`s taught me a ton too. How to serve and just love more and be more christlike. Pretty cool how we can learn so much from people that the Lord puts in our lives. So church attendence has been super tough for us recently. Saturday we passed by 2 families that said they were going to come to church yesterday but they didnt come, so thats always a little sad and frustrating, but 1 investigator came that is named Daniel. He has his baptism date for this Saturday, he is super prepared but he has a little fear about being baptized. So Im hoping he makes the decision to be baptized saturday, we´ll be praying for him! You all can too if you would like! haha Well fam all good down here, other than sweating gallons of water everyday and getting rejected a ton everyday, its all good! Haha love and miss you all! Write me!

Well fam not gonna lie a pretty tough week out here in the field. We had a tonn of appoinments planned but almost every single appointment this week fell through which in total was about 25. So it was pretty dissappointing to go to every house and have them not be there. But sometimes we have weeks like that in the mission, the work goes on haha. So we had a date for the Saturday for this youth Daniel but he couldnt attend church this sunday so we are going to have to push his baptism date back. So yesterday a youth, Jose Louis came to church for the 2nd time in a row and really liked it again. We have a date for him for the 25th of this month. But yeah we are trying to help our investigators progress right now. Hoping and praying that this next week we can see some miracles. But its all going good here, just gotta work harder, pray harder, and teach with the spirit! In spite of the trials that we have in the mission, I will never ask why is this work hard. How can the work of salvation be easy? Its not easy. It was never easy for Jesus Christ, and it will never be easy for us. Im super glad to be out here in the mission, its changed my life. Love and miss you all!!
