2018-08-28: Made It!

Hello!! We just got to the mission home a bit ago. Flights all went good. When we got to the Cochabamba airport there were like 15-ish missionaries singing “llamados al server” (Called to Serve) and the mission president and his wife greeted us. Only six of us arrived today--3 elders and 3 hermanas (sisters). We ate at a food place there, and it was pretty good. Oh ya, I bought Subway and helado (ice cream) in Mexico y Panama. P-day (preparation day) is lunes (Monday). Today we are going to get interviews (with the mission president) and then rest. I’d like to go to work, but I’m super duper tired and that’s what they said we are doing so... it’s all good. Sooo happy to finally be here. Love you lots!!

2020-03-02: Craziest Appointment So Far

Hellos!! THIS WEEK WAS AWESOME!!! Hahaha. We worked super hard and are seeing lots of progress. Attitude is everything in the mission. A good attitude and hard work will always bring good results. GOD IS GOOD.  We have several awesome people preparing to be baptized soon.  Nicol (13 years old) is going to get baptized this Saturday. She’s incredibly smart and is really taking this seriously. She is sooo ready to be baptized. We had a really good talk, telling her to be nicer to her mom, because that’s what Christ would do and if she wants to get baptized she needs to be more Christlike. She understood :) and took it really well. She’s very mature. Mucha nicol (an expression that means “way to go” “you’re awesome”). Rainir is a baller. He’s an industrial engineer and very smart. He’s planning to get baptized the 21st. He just wants an answer from God to be sure. He’s reading and praying every day. GOLD! He’s awesome. We found this lady named Alba...

2020-02-17: Transfers – I’M TRAINING!!!

Hernando & Karol's baptism by Hernando's son (& Karol's dad, who is also the 2nd counselor in the bishopric) with Elders Sorensen & Flores. Hello everyone! How was your week? Our week out here was AWESOME!! Like always, we worked crazy good and we are starting to see A FEW of the fruits. A few awesome people we found this week and several awesome others that are progressing really well. God is good.  This week we had the baptism of Hernando (the father of our 1st counselor) and Karol (the son of the 1st counselor). They are an awesome family. The rest of the family is progressing pretty well. One lady really likes the Pentecostal church, but the Book of Mormon has lots of power. ;)  We found several awesome Venezuelans this week. Rainier (this guy we found last week) is AWESOME. We had several appointments with him this week, and he came to the baptism on Saturday. He is progressing and reading the Book of Mormon a lot and looking for the truth. We...

2020-03-16: Still Working - No Signs of Coronavirus Yet

HOLA! This week was pretty awesome! Life is still pretty normal here. We are working really well. This week we had several really awesome Family Home Evenings with the members here. They are awesome and in each lesson, a new friend or family member was there. Through that, we were blessed to find several awesome new investigators. No church is always pretty tough in the mission because it’s the easiest way to measure an investigators desire and commitment. And it’s a big step towards baptism. We still have several awesome investigators close to baptism, and we are praying that no church won’t affect them.  We found a pretty cool family this week. The dad is very interested and asks lots of questions. The mom is interested but has a very different way of thinking about things. I learned two lessons from them. Number 1: the dad said he has always wanted to talk with the Mormons and that he has worked with Mormons, but nobody ever approached him. For me as a missionary, thi...
