5 Sept 2011

this week was so crazy i cant believe i have completed one year in the mission i do not like this at all.
so quick update my comp is from argentina and the other day we are walking down the road and he start singing (we dont need no education.... HEY TEACHERS LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE) song from pinkfloyd but seriously my comp is mikey before the mission it cracks me up so much. he is learnig alot of english but his accent is hilarious. and sometime when we are teaching or contacting and he feels like we should leave. he always just say dude lets get out of here. or if we are talking to women from cochabamba that do not speak spanish he always talks to them in english and they just say sis si si si ahahahh si si super funny.
we have started to jog everymorning i told him i was gonna make him skinny and all day yesterday he just kept asking eveyone if he looked skinnier wow he is super funny and is good company for me, just a jolly chubby argentino.
Wow well this week literally we worked our butts off the i have never worked so hard in one week in my life. but we put a really good impression with the members, our branch president could not come with us to teach so we to the district president to come with us, he lives in the other area and normally you could not do that but being zone leader has its benefits. afterwards we talked a half hour with him and he is excited to reactivate and help our our district. other than that the other members are super nice. it has the same problem as every other place in bolivia, the men are weak. we are working alot to find and baptize familys. that is our goal is to baptize families.
In the mission i think you see more miricles than ever so saturday we started our fast and pleaded with god to help us bring people to church. and bless all the work we have done. sunday rolls around and there is two families already there, but the biggest miricle is this young man alexander he is nineteen and is just stoked to be a missionary absolutley stoked he is already in chapter 15 of the book of nephi he is super excited and is assisting seminary. i love seeing the attitude of some young people. it is super motivating to see the rising of the next generation, it is so true Heavenly father is sending his strongest children for the most evil generation. i cant wait to see who my kids are going to be.
Well i love you all tons i pray for you all every day. tell janessa to write me back.
Steve how is my money?
Mikey i am preparing for our fight when i get back.
Tyler you gotta name your first child after me.
Janessa your the bomb keep destroying satan with your richteousness

Andrew play soccer like messi and not caca
Sam keep learning how to read, never give up!!

Hurrah For Israel.
