Hello, happy easter! 

We did nothing out of the ordinary for easter. We didn´t even sing any resurrection songs in church. Nada! so it was kind of weird. Hna Larsen and I are still together!!! and we are still in GuarHooray!! Hna. Harman is still in our house/ward and her new companion is Hna. Ortiz. She is from peru. She is the most mellow, calm person in the world, also the most punctual. So things are good.

There is a catholic church right by our house and alot of stuff was going on over the weekend. On friday there was an acting thing of the crucifixion, or what led up to it. kinda weird.

 

We have 4 ppl with baptism dates! Victor, Marta, Nayseth, and Jorge. CArlos and Yaquelin lost their dates because they didn´t go to church :( but we will work more with them. CArlos didnt´come to the english class because his mom wouldn´t give him 1 boliviano. They hvae been selling food in the church to raise money for the temple trip they are going on in may.

 Victor is working on the word of wisdom now. His wife is still in La paz so he is alone with his 2 daughters, it´s really hard for their family. They are in 1 nephi 15 though! His daughter that is 7, victoria is reading in the bible in revelations, she is very smart, and she is very concerned about the end of the world and when jesus comes, she LOVES primary, and wants to get baptized, she tells her dad that she is getting baptized when she turns 8 (august)! :) she is really cute.

Marta and Nayseth are praying but looking for their answers to the prayers (along with victor). She is catholic and doesn´t quite understand priesthood authority we think. so we are working on that.

JOrge is a 13 year old whose brother is a member but less active. He always goes to Young men activities and to play soccer at the church. He said the other day he had an interview with the bishop. Haha. dont´know how that works exactly. But he likes the church a lot and he is our friend and wants to learn more :)

 

This week we didn´t get to teach a lot becasuse of the holiday, a lot of ppl went out of town, or weren´t in their houses when we went t hte appointment. Funny thing that happened: we were walking down the street and some kids kicked their soccer ball down toward us by accident (happens a lot), Hna. Larsen kicked it off and her shoe went flying too! haha. good hting it was dark and not many people around.

every day we arrive at the house totally beat! exhausted. My feet hurt sooo bad! I walk like an old lady but the end of the day. I would love for someone to send me some gel insoles to put in my shoes. :)

 

I love you all!! Thanks for supporting me and praying for me. The mission is totally great. I have learned so much. I have so many more goals still but I love what i am doing and am happy i am here. my companion hna. Larsen helps me so much when i get stressed out or get a little bit of a bad attitude. She is amazing. but even more than, her, my Heavenly Father has blessed me so much. He has helped me through some really tough times. Les quiero mucho. Sigan adelante!! Con amor Hna. Tibbitts
