Reading Classes and Watching Moana



Went to Cocha this week, i love Cochabamba, 10x better than Potosi (I love Potosi though :)

Learned some Guarani from a Paraguayan Elder on splits this week, tekaka la erea

For the first time in my mish we taught a reading class, it's sad but a lot of people here are illiterate so were teaching reading classes 

Members that give us food are going to the Celestial Kingdom

To be honest, idk how much ill miss the work cause while it is very rewarding, its extremely draining and can be suuuuper frustrating, but it will be hard to leave behind 5 awesome wards (well, 3 wards and 2 branches) full of amazing people

So our mission president is the man and just recently approved a few disney movies to watch only on p day, today we were watching moana, and at the end of the movie she gets back to the island and hugs her parents in dramatic music, and I just held up two fingers and everyone started clapping haha, 2 weeks

I love Bolivia and I love America

I will be giving my homecoming talk in roughly 3 weeks, on the subject of parasite prevention, hope y'all will be there

Peace out

Pioneer Day in Bolivia




Protesting snowman (Evo (the president of Bolivia) came to Potosi and everyone dislikes him)

Me, my son, and my one of my grandchildren

Matero collection

We're at a restaurant the other day and they had youtube on the tv so they were looking up music videos for their customers, the guy starts typing in M... and were guessing what its gonna be, A... I... C... O... and were super lost, he put in Maicol Jackson, and Michael Jackson videos came up haha we couldn't breath for 5 minutes

The bishop really really strongly invited us to participate in an activity about pioneers, so we're like ok, we roll up to the chapel and bishop is like hey, we need to do a pioneer dance and pioneer skit, and youre in charge, they thought since we were white we had like 20 dances and 20 skits in our heads, we had nothing. They could not believe we didn't know how to choreograph a square dance haha, cause in bolivia theres a million traditional dances, so they're like teach us the traditional dance of utah with the pioneers! you have to know it! they couldn't get it into their heads that we had no idea, so as a joke were like, the hokey pokey! and the bishop took it seriously, found a video, and we all danced the hokey pokey lollll
3 more weeks
I love bolivia, despite health problems, this place and language will always be nostalgic for me
