hello family!!! Trying to send a bunch of funny pictures from this week.. .decided to carry around my camera this week and this is what we came up with.
haha you think i´m tan... I¨m still Choka here!! (choka is white.. or blond... to them i´m blond)
the family actually didn´t get mad about the fish... they said it was old and it was no big deal... a huge relief for us though!!
This week was good. Harold had his interview for the baptism. His dad wants him to get baptized by an Elder. So the Elder who interviewed him will baptize him. He is a choko from Utah which is what they want. haha.
We are looking for new investigators. We were teaching a lady named Sonia and she was really close to accepting a baptism date, but now she´s having problems in her family and is going to move to Argentina in january. so we dropped her. We found a few good people but just gotta wait and see!!
In one lesson, a lady told us that she didn´t attend a church, becuase she didn´t know which church was true... so we taught the restoration and she was amazed. With another lady, she said she would like to be a Christian (she was catholic), so what does she need to do to be a christian? pretty cool.
We are teaching a 13 year old girl and her family. She was a reference from a kid in the ward. She went to church yesterday and she was asking us what she has to do to be baptized. we need to get her mom on board though. But Rosalia is a sweet girl.
We got invited by an investigator family to their christmas champagne! hahah..
Andres and his family is doing great. I didn´t mention before that in the baptism a lot of it was video taped. one of the sons ¨`ïnterviewed^ us and asked us to share about what we were feeling, etc. He said he was going to make a DVD and make copies for us.. hopefully he comes thru!!
Sounds like you are all busy and having fun. I laughed a lot at that picture of boone! good job wyatt on the scout award. Sounds like fun in the primary. The primary presidency in this ward is really impatient. They yell at them a lot. We are acutally helping the kids with a song for christmas. They do primary weird here. They give each kid a songbook to sing and they have them write things in notebooks. i don´t get it.
My package is actually in the mission office... they want me to pay them to get it.. so i hope the assistants and presidente enjoy it! i could still pick it up still i guess though. now they´re telling me 280 bolivianos though.
Can´t wait to get my christmas packages!! Nothing yet.. but i did get a letter from my dear friend Pip from BYU! Who is now in Boston.... practically everyone i know is engaged or married! Boo!
CAlling----- I am planning to call you at about 2:00 bolivia time on thursday. hope that works for you!! turn up the ringer loud! don´t know what youll be doing the next day but sounds like h. hernandez wants to talk to her family at night because they work.We have 1 hour this time to talk!!!
Christmas.. is going to be weird here... it´s as hot as ever.... there are a few houses with lights and a few more with christmas trees but many don´t have anything. it´s weird, it doesn´t feel like christmas at all. I have a few christmas songs but i should have brought more christmas music with me. Oh well. Not sure what we´re going to do that day because President wants us to be home an hour earlier than usual and we can´t eat pork here, adn that´s about all that bolivians eat on christmas.
Thanks for all the encouraging things you say. I really need it sometimes.
I love you, each of you! Have fun in Norway and I¨ll talk to you in a few days!! Love Hna Tibbitts
