Hilarious, friendly, nice, helpful, and loving members



baptisms for the dead with our ward at the temple

when we watched coco as a ward, some people put the make up on

I had good stuff to write but i left my agenda at the house sorry

Officially finished 18 months, and on that day, I was talking to a 6 year old (who likes to make fun of my accent lol) and she's like, ummm, can you talk to me in spanish please?

She's adorable but that didn't make me happy haha

Theres an awesome member in my ward here who served in Chicago so he speaks fluent english, he always answers the phone with "Hey what's crackin?" and he's gonna bring me star crunch cause he works for the airlines and always goes to Miami, he's Bolivian but does his shopping at walmart and sams club, super awesome

Colcapirhua sent out a missionary this week, I remember those days hah a year and a half ago

We have hilarious, friendly, nice, helpful, and loving members

So glad i get to stay, if all goes well we will have some baptisms

Be a Creator of Circumstances


View of Cochabamba

pique macho




It doesn't show well at all, but everyone says i look like ivan drago, and this guy when he has longer hair looks just like Rocky, so we got a pic lol

Be a creator of the circumstances and not a creation of the circumstance 

Someone came to church without being invited, we didn't even know her and she just came to church

Another awesome investigator came yesterday, whose mom wouldn't let her come cause she's against mormonism, so i asked the investigator what made her mom change her mind and she said loooots of prayer and fasting, and it worked! investigators have more faith than me sometimes

Church is awesome, its great being surrounded by so many happy, friendly, smiling, fellow followers of Christ

I love the simple Bolivian life, they don't overcomplicate things

After a super hard day me and my comp were both tired and not in a great mood, and ready to go home, and at one last appointment this adorable little 4 yr old kid asked me for priesthood blessing, great timing haha so on the spot i had to lighten up and get myself in a better mood to try and give the blessing,

Everything is relative, to some ppl my life is super hard and stressful, but to others who maybe don't have much, it's a walk in the park, so just remember, it could be worse lol

Highlight of the week was meeting professional bball players from america, they played on the potosi bolivia team, it was hilarious I was walking down a busy street, and I’m in fetching bolivia but out of nowhere I hear, (expletive) that dude tall! haha I hadn’t heard that in awhile, it was 2 black dudes about my height, they didn’t speak spanish, they just came to play and went back and trained in the states, it was cool to talk to them, both played D1.
