Hello Everyone!
Missionary work is so funny sometimes. Victor is progressing but slowly. He doesn't have much time for visits and now Sulema is living in La paz for the time being. So he is there with the 2 girls being mom and dad. He did make it to sacrament meeting finally! In the last 10 minutes (investigators have to come to sacrament 3 times to be baptized). He had come to church 2 other times but not to sacrament. He likes what he is reading though and wants to learn more.


We didn't get to visit Romina and Mario again, and they didn'tcome to church :(

We had a movie night to bring in references. It was almost a disaster. We almost didn't have popcorn because the stove didn't work in the church, and then the projector didn't have speakers. But we figured everything out although we started the movie 45 minutes late. We watched the testaments. Not a lot of people came :( But we did get ONE reference. And he came to church the next day. So we are happy about that. His name is Jorge and he is 13. He has friends in the church so he has been coming to some activities. Going to visit him tomorrow.

Hna. Larsen and I made a lot of progress this week and were able to discuss why we aren't having as much success as we want, and already it is working!! We have changed some things to be better comapanions and to be more bold and more powerful and feel the spìrit more in our lessons. We have 3 people with baptism dates now for the 14 of May. Marta, Jacqueline, and Carlos. Jacqueline and Carlos are way special, she is a single mom and Carlos is her son who is 11 but turning 12 the 5 of May, and he really wants a cake, but his mom doesn't know if she will have the money. Having a cake for my birthday is something I always took for granted! How lucky we are to have a cake every year no? Hna. Larsen and I are going to do something for him. They are super excited and hopefully the will keep their commitments so they can be baptized! They live very humbly, Jacqueline washes clothes and sells refresco (juice, etc) in the streets to earn her living.

Oh, we also had the weirdest experience. We were running late to the movie night, with the popcorn in bags (ended up making it at the pensionista's), and this tall blonde lady comes up to us and asks us if we know German... we said no... it was a German lady! Young, super tall and super skinny. But she asked us who we were and we asked about her too, turns out she is not only a german in Santa Cruz but a Jehovah's Witness!! Baaah! Super funny. She invited us to some event in her church and we invited her to the church too, haha, super weird, and we were talking English the whole time, super weird to do a contact in English, I was translating my words Spanish to English haha!

Cambios are this week! But I think Hna. Larsen and I will stay together.So not really worried about it.


I love you all!! I love hearing from you!! Have a great week. Send pictures with a letter please!! Love, Hermana Tibitts
