Well family and friends its been a long week of missionary work. Our last week we didnt find many new investigators and so this week we really tried alot harder to talk to everyone and find new investigators and wow it worked, we found some really good investigators that im stoked to teach, Well thats about it for this week. Whoever reads this send me an email! I promise ill respond haha. Well i miss a lot of things from home, but i have a duty, responsibility and opportunity to serve the Lord with all my might for 2 years so that comes first! Super grateful this gospel and knowledge we have of eternal families and our Heavenly Father! Love and miss you all! One funny thing this week one of our investigators was wearing an ASU Womans Basketball shirt, i was dying haha

Wow cant believe its already been another week down in the fields of Bolivia, times been flying! Conference was super awesome this weekend. We got to watch it in this little room in english with all the gringo missionaries so that was cool. Im going to share a few of my favorite things i heard this weekend."heavens help can solve any problem" man that has so much power for me. When are in a hole or a lowpoint in our life, always through jesus christ and his gospel we can be lifted out and find the anwser we are looking for! One other thing is "come as you are, dont plan to stay as you are" Elder Holland said that, it was awesome. Man it relates so much to the mission, ive changed and grown so much in just this short time, grateful for this mission! Well i dont have much else to report on this week. We are trying really hard to set baptism dates for our investigators, we have so many good ones! Well love and miss you all! Watch conference if you didnt get the chance!

hola familia y amigos! well honestly not much to report on this week. We had some pretty good lessons and some really good investigators that are progressing right now! Life out here in Bolivia is good! The weather has actually been fairly nice too! We gave a bunch of service this week and so that always just feels so good to give. The people dont have much, but whenever we have a visit or give service always they offer us some type of food, they really are so humble and loving here. Well the work is progressing I can see it! Grateful to be out here, preaching the good word, farrrrr away from home haha, love and miss you all!

Well wow i finish my first transfer Wednesday so thats crazy... ive learned so much these past 6 weeks in bolivia its been a wild. The best thing i think ive learned is the power of the Book of Mormon. We had a ton of lessons this week on the restoration and the BoM and wow they were powerful. Whenever we talk about joseph smith and restoring the gospel to the earth the spirit is always super strong. My testimony has increased so much of the reality of this church and the knowledge we have, its so true!! So this week was pretty good overall. last week when i was sick i weighed myself and i lost 12 pounds in 2 days so that was wild lol. but its chill. we have some really good investigators right now that only need to get married and then they want to be baptized! before the end of this next transfer we should have some baptisms! Its so cool to see the change in people when they read the BoM and come to church its awesome! Well the food here is actually really good. its chicken and rice every meal but they cook it good here. The spanish is coming along haha. I can understand the people a little better everyday so thats good! I gave a talk yesterday in church so that was pretty cool. Besides that everything is going good! The mission is like a rollercoaster haha but im glad to be doing the Lords work1 Love and miss you all!

Pictures: the video is like in the middle of downtown, we dont really ever go here except for lunch, but when it rains all the roads lead here and the canal fills up, usually its empty but it rained a ton that day so it had a ton of water, a picture of me downtown but my area is not this nice haha i promise, the other is a house of one of our investigators he built this house and it looks sick its the nicest house is like 10 miles haha once again this house is not what my area looks like, my area is ghetto as heck haha

our zone, my president and his wife and then elder hugo montoya and his wife from the seventy!

Well this was an interesting week for sure. We had some really good lessons with investigators this week! I had an exchange with the district leader on thursday so that was a really good learning experience! but then saturday night i got really sick and threw up a ton so that wasnt fun at all and sunday was not fun at all too. So yeah this weekend was pretty tough not gonne lie. Honestly not much happened this week besides that. We only had 2 investigators show up to church so that was a little disappointing, so we have to work extra hard next week! Love and miss you all so much!
