Hello!

Thanks for the letters. I love reading them. The ward here is having a campout in a few weeks when there is Carnaval. Carnaval is March 6-8 so that week I don't think I will be able to write. We have to hide out in our houses because the streets are crazy. So just a heads up.

 

Dear elder arrives in 2 weeks. Just FYI. That's a good way to write me!

 

I don't have much time to write. But things are good. Carla's mom forbid her to talk to us anymore. It's sad, but she has to obey her mom. She is going to try to talk her dad into letting  her. Evelin is doing great. She didn't come to church though because she is scared that she won't be able to change. Just little things like having good thoughts and dressing modestly. We are going to buy her a skirt for Sunday because she says she doesn't have anything long, haha. She is great. She wrote us letters telling us this and dedicated us a song and tied it with ribbon and colored it all pretty. pretty funny. she is great we are working with her a lot.

 

What is Bolivia like?well its different. There is so much poverty. Most of the lessons we teach outside sitting in lawn chairs. I feel like I'm camping sometimes, with the clotheslines and such. The grocery store that we go to is pretty normal. like Lulu's but maybe a little better. I can get peanut butter and other American stuff. I haven't looked for poptarts but I don't want them. Usually I eat corn flakes for breakfast with milk and yogurt. Sometimes bread with jelly. Lots of people have stores in front of their houses called ventas. They are closed in so you just tell them what you want and they give it to you and you pay. Yesterday we got soaked in the rain. We had to go home and change and shower...the umbrella didnt do anything. Gotta go! Until next week. 

Love,
