Well, it was a pretty normal week here. It rained at tonnnnn, basically destoyed my shoes walking in so much mud. But we were able to find some really good people this week just knocking doors. We are working with the Family Vallegos who has a baptism date in 2 weeks. They are super awesome, and going to church, but they havent recieved a testimony of the Book of Mormon so thats what we are working on right now, and finish up teaching all the commandments. And well we are working with a ton of other people too, they are just progressing a lot slower, but there is teenager, Christian, who was a date for 3 weeks that is progresing pretty well, so Ill keep yall updated on him. We went to the center today to buy some stuff and a bunch of people were trying to rob and pickpocket us it was pretty funny. Some old lady started screaming at us to leave Bolivia because, well i dont know why but it was funny haha. Well thats about it, just feeling stressed out for my district. Miss and love you all!

So this week we had the visit of Elder Falabella from the 70. So it was pretty sweet to get to just talk and learn from his. He talked about how we are set apart to be Full Time Missionaries not part time and how we need to repent for not talking every single person about the Restored Gospel. So he wanted us to commit ourselves to also be looking for opportunities to teach and testify of the Gospel, it was a cool conference. So it was a super cool Sunday cause we were able to get 9 investigadores to the church. Family Vallegos came again, they are the family of 5 that has a date for the 10 of Febrero. They`ve liked the church alot, and they`ve made some friends in the church, now we just have to help them obtain a testimony to arrive to their goal! They are super great and Always have a ton of questions. So thats about this week. Its been raining a ton here, its super green and pretty. My comp and I get along really well too, so everything is going prettty good! Just a little stress with my district haha. Miss and love you all! Photos: We went to a super dope place with some members, like an hour driving through straight jungle

Well I dont remember if I already said this but my new companion is Elder Larsen from Idaho, we get along well! He loves signing haha. So this transfer more than half of our zone was changed and almost all new leadership and the new zone leaders wanted to help raise the zone up and raise the numbers here in Tarija because they have been superrr low lately so we decided to do another fast as a zone this weekend and wow honestly it was super awesome. The first part of the fast Saturday was tough, no one wanted to receive us so I was alittle discouraged but I still had some hope and by 7:30 p.m.nothing had happened saturday, no appointments nothing, so man i started praying super hard to see a miracle or something to raise our spirits and so at 8pm we knocked the door of some recent investigators they received us and we were able to testify of the Restoration and baptism, and 4 of them acepted a baptism date for the 10 of February. So that was a super cool miracle we saw this week and they came to church sundayy! The branch was super excited too cause that was the first family of investigators that had attended the church in almost 2 years. They are called family Vallegos. So we are pretty excited to help them reach that goal. Sometimes the Lord waits for us to put in alll we have and then once we have done everything we can, that is when he carrys us the rest of way. Well this might be the longest letter ive ever written haha, Well thats about it, Love you all! Write me por fa

Well fam sorry about not writing last week my account wasn`t working. So I had been with my companion, Elder Boggess, for 1 transfer, and we were both supper sure that he was gonna stay, but then we got a surprise call from our mission president and he told us that my comp is leaving and Im staying and.. he`s making me district leader, so pretty nervous about that, i guess there might be something i need to learn haha. Im nervous but I think it should be pretty cool too, to be able to see how stressful it is to be a leader in the mission lol. But my new comp is Elder Larsen from Idaho, I havent met him yet, but they gave me another freaking gringo! I have had so many gringo comps its crazy haha. So my email account has been kind of weird and dumb for these past few weeks. So if i haven`t email you back its because my email wasn`t working. So if you send me an email i`ll for sure respond this time! Email me :) My area over here is going alright, We have a ton of super good people, and some of them are going to church, but we havent been able to put any baptism dates, but there are a ton of super good and prepared people in this area!
