Kamusta kamo??!

I hope you all have had a great week! It was a pretty good week here in Lapaz! I was sad to hear that the utes lost! Oh I don't know if I ever told you this but, one time I saw a guy here wearing a Utes shirt and of course I asked him where did you get it and he just told me he bought it at an ukay ukay ( a place where they just sell used clothes and stuff) haha, he told me it was his favorite shirt. haha sorry that was kind of random, but I just barely remembered it! Sometimes I feel like all of my emails are the same so at least this time I threw in that random story! 

Well as for me this week, it has been a pretty fast and busy week! We have taught some great lessons this week and have seen some great experiences. So just a few of the cool things that happened this week was one of our investigators is a part member, his wife is a member. He is the nicest guy in the world and he is fun to teach, he had never been able to come to church because of his very difficult work schedule. So we told brother Plando that if he has a true desire to come to church, Heavenly Father will provide a way for him. And this week that promised was fulfilled, he came to church. This brother is a taxi driver and his schedule is crazy, he works 24hrs at a time, and this sunday even though he had just worked 24 hrs straight, he came to church! It is such a testimony builder for me that if we pray with real intent for something Heavenly Father will help us. That was such a cool miracle, even brother was surprised that he wasn't even sleepy during church! 

Another cool experience we had this week happened with the Gabawa family. So sister Gabawa was not feeling well one day, and we explained what a blessing was and offered to give her one. She was pretty sick, but wanted to play in her volleyball game the next day. We gave her and her daughter blessings and the next day they were all good and she played in her game. It was cool to see how strong her faith is. They are getting very excited for their baptism on October 20. 

Also this Saturday we had a very unique opportunity to attend this special event. We were invited to attend this catholic semenario thing. So basically we were invited by these catholic missionaries to come and share each others beliefs as a part of christian unity is what they were saying. So we were a part of like 30 missionaries that got to attend this event. It was cool. We had a little program, some missionaries shared, 13 articles of faith, plan of salvation and the Book of Mormon. We gave a Book of Mormon to every single one of them. At the end we sang I feel my saviors love, and the spirit was really strong. They were really nice and it was a cool experience.

Also this week we had zone conference on friday and we just had a zone activity earlier today! So it has been a pretty good week!

Well That should do it for this week! Thanks for everything! Love you Guys! Have a good Week! Go Utes Go Jazz!
