Exchanges Two by Two

This week we did 2 exchanges with sisters, and next week we will also do 2. And every week for the rest of my mission basically! Haha. I am pooped. But it is really fun! I love doing exchanges with all the sisters. And I got to see Hermana Lopardo this week! She is so fun.

Cochabamba Temple

Also, we have a new ward mission leader who just got back from his mission like...3 week ago. He is really excited to work with us and help us out. And we are very excited to work with him! He served in Santa Cruz, which is still in Bolivia, but his mission was WAY different than here. It is crazy how different it is, and it´s in the same country! I can´t imagine how different missions must be throughout the world.

We got to meet a lot of great people this week, and we are hoping that some of them will really be able to progress. We just keep talking to everyone, and trying to find the people who are prepared to hear the gospel.

I hope everyone has a great week!

Exchanges, So fun!

36 Days until Homecoming!

This week went really well! We didn´t do any exchanges, since it was the first week of the transfer. So everything was pretty calm. Just working in my area with Hermana Giles like normal. But, starting this week, we have 2 every week. We have to do 7 exchanges in the next 4 weeks, plus we have a zone conference, and a leadership counsel. It will be SO BUSY!

 And we have to get it all done before the last week of the transfer, because it will be my last week in the mission, and I will get to go visit my old areas, and do some activities with President and Hermana Hansen, and the other people who are going home this transfer. So, we want to get everything done before that happens. We´re going to be so tired! Haha.

This coming week we are going to go on exchanges with Hermana Lopardo, the sister I trained. I am so excited! She is so awesome! I won´t be going with her, I will be with her companion. but I will still get to see her for a little bit! It will be fun.

I hope everyone has a great week!

Final Transfer in My Mission!

This week was transfers week, and Hermana Giles and I are staying together! We are so excited! And, I`M GOING TO BE A GRANDMA!!!! my daughter (the sister I trained) is going to train!!! I will live to see my future generations. And she is going to a different zone, and she will be one the sisters we are over to do exchanges with! I am so excited!

So, on the 4th of July is was rainy and cold here all day, and nobody wanted to receive visits from us. We knocked on one door, and this lady came out of her door, but said she couldn`t come out of her house because it was raining. We talked to her a little bit from her door, and it turns out that she is from Hungry, and her husband is Bolivian, but lived there to study. She didn`t seem super interested, but said we could come back another day.

So, this week we went back. She was very surprised! She was like, I didn`t think you guys would come back! And she let us in her house. We talked to her, and her 2 sons, who are 15 and 18 years old, and spoke English

really well! It was really cool, and they seemed really interested, especially her sons.

But, then the next time we came back there dad was there, and he said we could talk to his wife, but we were not allowed to talk to his kids. Which is kind of lame. So, I don`t know what will happen with them! But it was such an interesting family. I never would have thought we would meet someone from Hungry here in Bolivia.

I hope everyone has a great week!

Tunari

Well, it´s winter here in South America. So, for the 4th of July, it was really cold and raining ALL day. And this weekend it snowed in the mountains! It is really pretty. And today we went to a place called Tunari, which is basically the top of some mountains, to see the snow. It was cool, because some of the other missionaries from South and Central America had never seen snow before! But, it was really cold! Haha. And I got to see a ton of llamas on the way up! It was pretty cool.

This week we had another leadership counsel, and I got to see all the girls from my group. And eat cinnamon rolls. It was really fun! My companion and I had to give a class about doing the area book. And President Hansen talked a lot about the importance of the family. It was really special.

Also, my sister made fun of my English today while I was emailing her. I am sorry if the things I write don´t make sense sometimes! Haha. I no speak English!
 I hope everyone is doing well!
