Well fam a pretty normal week out here in Tarija, Bolivia. Its been like 70 degrees all week but it feels super cold because ive been so accostumed to the heat. But this week was pretty sweet because we were able to work a ton with members and recieve referals. We are working with some really good people right now in the area. There is one girl thats been to church 3 times in a row that we´ve only been able to teach once called Jimena. She´s super awesome and prepared for the gospel so we should have some good news soon with her. Elder Bogges and I get along really well so its pretty fun. Im his first gringo companion in his mission, he has had 5 latino companions. We did some service on a farm this week and we drove out suppper far and just like fed and watered cows it was pretty fun. They just like let their cattle run free and hope they can find them, not the best system. Its still been pretty cold out here, im not used to it. So honestly dont got to much to report. During the Christmas season everyone just feels the Christmas spirit and its been sweet because alot of the people we found this week were expressing desires to change and follow Jesus Christ. So this week I have been studying a ton about the Spirit and how important it is that we always listen to spirit when teaching investigators. If we are tune with with spirit and we follow its promptings our words will be as if they were from God himself, pretty cool to think about that. The challenge is recognizing it and then acting on it. Well fam Im pretty happy out here in mission field which is weird to think sometimes because its pretty hard at times. But I wouldnt trade this learning experience for anything. Love and miss you all!
