deviled eggs

Cook-out food

Last year for the 4th of July the North American missionaries were not
allowed to leave their houses, because there was some political thing
happening. But this year we were allowed to, and nobody died, as far
as I know! And the North American Elder that eats at our pension and I
made Cookout food! I made deviled eggs and fried potatoes, and he
made hamburgers. It was pretty fun. And my pension thought I wanted to
fry my potatoes like french fries, and I went to check on them and she
was like taking them out of my pan and deep frying them in another...
Silly.

Another fun little story, my mattress kind of sucks, and I was trying
to tell my companion about it, but I said my Cajón is bad, and not my
calchón. So, I told her that my back was hurting because my casket is
bad, not my mattress. I am good at Spanish!

Pizza for Family Home evening with family.

We had a family home evening this week with a family we have been
teaching, and we made pizza! And it was the best pizza I´ve had since
I´ve been here. Like, the pizza in Bolivia is good, because it´s
pizza. But it´s not super good.

I really like it here in Tupiza (I´m actually in Sucre right now,
because we have a conference and interviews with the new president
tomorrow.) But we have a lot of good members and investigators, and a
few people who are really progressing. And we started teaching our
pensionista, who is not a member, but her daughter is. And her
daughter is preparing to serve a mission. It would be really beautiful
if her mom could join the church before she left, to have that support
at home.

OH, I don´t know if you knew this, but Tupiza is kind of a touristy
town. A lot of people come to hike or something. But there is a random
amount of white people. Whenever I see them, I say "what are they
doing in my country" to my companion. Because I think its funny. But,
I had like the most random cultural experience of my life last Monday.
We were eating lunch with our district, at a place that THANK GOODNESS
had a giant TV, so the elders could watch the world cup. And France
was playing. And these three bearded french dudes walked into this
Bolivian restaurant, to very passionately cheer on their team. It was
weird.

Well, that´s all I can think of to tell home about. I hope everyone is
doing well!

Love, Hermana Wingate
