Tanner Sorensen's LDS Mission in Bolivia and Colombia

HOLA HOLA!! Weelllll, this week has been pretty crazy and passed super fast. So last Monday we were still in Cochabamba, and it was super fun.  A picture sent from a gal in Potosi   Martes/Tuesday in the morning we had Consejo de Líderes (Leadership Council Meeting), and it was super-duper awesome. It was basically the exact same as zone conference just a little different with only zone leaders. It was awesome and super spiritual. President gave an awesome class about the importance of studying the scriptures and why they are so important. I really liked how in Alma 31:5 it says that the scriptures have more force and power and influence than the sword. President also said that if we want to improve as persons and be better, we just need to improve our study of the scriptures. I love the Book of Mormon and Bible like crazy and love the opportunity to study them every day. The Assistants gave a good class about teaching with the Spirit and leaving commitments gui...

E. Waldvogel & E. Sorensen - hiking in Betanzos HOLA!! This week was super busy and pretty crazy but was awesome, as always. Last lunes/Monday after p-day finished, we went and visited the Flia Taboada (in our ward here in Potosi). They are a super cool family, and the older mom is a super good cook and made super-duper awesome brownies. We shared a good spiritual message with them from Alma 11:22-25 and discussed how we need to focus more on loving God instead of worldly things and also about how we can resist temptations. I liked how it says that “the righteous don’t listen to any temptations”. I think that’s because those who really want to follow God and do His will have no desires to do anything contrary to His will.  Super awesome brownies and awesome spiritual-ness. Win win. Later lunes, we also visited a less-active family. The dad’s name is Edwin, and he served a mission in California and speaks perfect English. His wife is Jenny and they have two little kid...

Yoselin's Baptism: E. Waldvogel, Yoselin's Mom, Yoselin, and E. Sorensen Well this week was pretty darn good. We stayed super busy and got sick a little bit but still worked hard. It’s still super-duper cold, and the sun never enters our house and so it’s always cold in the house. We call it “la cueva” (the cave). We were going to have 2 baptisms, but both of them fell through so that was a little bummer. Anyways, last domingo/Sunday we both weren’t feeling well, and then martes/Tuesday we both weren´t feeling very well at all. We went to our reunions/meetings in the morning and had a good class from our district leader, and then we gave a class to the whole zone about Matthew 4 and how we can be more like Christ and turn outwards and help others instead of helping ourselves, even when we are really tired or suffering. I am trying to make that the motto of my mission, and I love studying and learning more about Christ and His perfect character. After the reuniones/me...
