New comp from Chile, since were our own district out here in the middle of nowhere im the district leader lol
Had a marriage and baptism this week! I'm got lucky cause nothing ever happens in Uyuni but while ive been here they've sent out a missionary and had a marriage and baptism!
The government building was closed for a while so the marriage would've had to wait till like June but on tuesday we found another place to do it, and they wanted it for this saturday before my comp, left so the bride came and filled out all the paper work that tuesday but the groom was at working and the government worker was like well i need a signature, so my comp forged the signature haha i love bolivia, also the groom had a surprise when he got home from work that night, like surprise you're getting married saturday
We spent most the week helping them get everything ready, and friday night we went with the groom to invite all his friends and family to the wedding the next day haha, i love how things run here, hey im getting married tomorrow at 2, ok sweet ill be there
Apart from that, did I mention I'm getting a new comp?! :D
Listened to a super good talk this week about gratitude, by Thomas S Monson in I think Oct 2010 conference, he told the story about Gordon B. Hinckley and how his dad used all their saved up money to put electricity in the house and to buy his wife a laundry machine, and then one thanksgiving they didnt have much cause it was a bad year, and their dad turned off the lights and lit the oil lamps and then they realized how blessed they were because of jusst the electricity, super good talk yall should listen to it, put me in a good mood for the rest of the day and week
Yesterday I was saying the prayer to bless our dinner and they wanted me to do it in english so i started in english but kinda got lost cause i never pray in english, so i started speaking english with spanish grammar, and then finally just busted out in spanish without thinking about it and my comp started laughing and i did too so i finished the prayer and no one said amen they all just stared at me like you're an idiot, it was pretty embarassing but hilarious
Have a good week all
