Hello everyone, thanks for your emails and sending pictures!

This week was pretty hard because we had to leave a lot of investigators, it seems like we are always doing it, we visit a lot of people 1 or 2 times and then no more, so we have to talk to people in the streets and knock a lot of doors, so pray we can find people that will accept our visits and that will progress!! But we did find a few people who I am excited about.

Ok so about my companion. Well for one thing I am not supposed to write to you about anything negative about my companion, area, the investigators, nothing. So I try to do that. Sometimes things happen and I think, well, that´s something I´lltell them about after I get home. Haha. Do not worry, it´s just that we live in a hard place and it´s part of life. Like we get whistled at a lot. Stuff like that. DO NOT WORRY!! ok! I think the hardest part about being with Hna. Larsen now is that we have been together a long time. Not many missionaries stay together with the companion 3 transfers. We are friends but it does require a lot of patience sometimes. It´s not the easiest thing to be 2 americans in bolivia, trying to reach all of our goals as missionaries. We get discouraged a lot. We have obstacles that are huge that we don´t even know how to get over. But one thing that we know is that there is a reason. We are trying to be more loving and serviceable to each other so that we can hvae more success in the work. the mission makes one VERY humble, i think. and the lord gives us trials to give us strength.

anyways, about Martha, she is doing good, we don´t go to the sewing classes because it is not related with missionary work, but she likes it, and is happy. at the baptism when she spoke her niece was there, she is named Justa and is in another ward and is a strong member of the church, martha didn´t even know. But Justa has been sealed in the temple to her husband and she said that she did the temple work for martha´s mother. Justa also said that she had a dream after doing it and that martha´s mom accepted the work! Martha didn´tn really understand what that meant.. we ahven´t taught about the temple yet.. this week we will! it´s nice to know that Martha´s mom accepted the gospel and that they can have an eternal family.

Not much to say. We gave Aida and alejandra a book of mormon this week. I hope they read! I hope they will. They didn´t come to church yeseterday, don´t know why, since we saw them saturday and they said they would come, i´m sure it was an emergency or something. We are getting pretty attached to them, Aida is like a mom to us in some ways.

We have interviews with Presidente tomorrow, and a conference int his week with the Area authorities, i believe, not sure, we´ll see.

I love you all. keep praying for me please. Be good! Read the conference talks. I love the talk Guardians of Virtue. Read and meditate and make your lists of what you do and won´t do!
love. Hna. Tibbitts.
