Whaaduup Padres!!
Another great week in lovely Colcapirhua! It’s crazy how
fast this transfer has gone by. Only one week more and there are transfers
crazy!! And my zone leader is going up to be the assistant so he was doing the
transfers this weekend with the assistants and from what it sounds like I will
be leaving my area this transfer. And probably somewhere far away. That’s if
what he was telling me is true. I don’t know where I’m going yet but I know
that I will be leaving. But nothing is official yet and that could change. But
if I stayed in my area for one more transfer I would honestly be quite shocked.
The mission is growing like crazy though!!! When I got here
there were less than 200 and were getting close to 300 missionaries now. They
are splitting my area this transfer and bringing sisters in. There are tons
that are coming its crazy. Now there will be 6 missionaries in our ward. The
ward is going to grow a lot in these next couple of months. But I probably won’t
be here. I want my companion to train though so I can have a grandson. He’s
really a great missionary. There are a few things that he does that bug me but
oh well. At least when I’m married I’ll be allowed to leave and take a little
alone time. Living with someone 24/7 can be difficult sometimes. But I would
really like to stay with him for one more transfer I am learning so much from
him.
I am always learning from my companion. Last Monday after a
long p-day I was really tired and just wanted to get to our appointments
and not have to walk anymore. I don’t know why but I am always more tired on p-day’s.
So we went to our first appointment and they weren’t home, we went to our back
up plan and they also weren’t there. We went to a few less actives and other
investigators but they also weren’t there. After about half an hour of trying
to find someone to teach we just decided to start making our way to our next
appointment. We had a FHE with the Stake President and the zone leaders but
when we got there the zone leaders hadn’t shown up yet so I said we will just
wait for them to show up. My companion had another idea though. He wanted to go
contact in the park while we waited, I wasn’t super excited of the idea and
just wanted to sit for a bit and wait but we went and contacted. We ended up
teaching two lessons in the park with 8 new investigators in the half hour that
we waited. That really taught me a lesson that we don’t have time to wait
around in this work. There is always somewhere to be and always someone to talk
to. This really is the time to hasten the work of salvation. I’m so grateful
for a companion who is helping me understand this principle more and more every
day. I couldn’t ask for anything better.
This mission is great, I love Bolivia, I love the people, I
love my companion, and I love everything that I am learning. I wouldn’t want to
be anywhere else!!
I love you guys so much, I’m excited to talk to you guys, don’t
worry it won’t distract me, I hope they send me somewhere that I can use Skype.
Only a few more weeks. Thanks for everything, have a great week!!

Sister Dyer for a presentation at
the zone
conference so I went to the same spot and
took some more pictures with
my companion."
My companion cut his finger open on the door.
He
got about 8 stiches.
