Hello!! thanks for the letter. you have no idea how much i love reading hwat you write me. thanks for including al the little details, it really lifts my spirits a lot.
First i have to tell you that I saw Hna. Castro this week. She says to thank you all again for the letters, they were a huge help to her. She has about 3 weeks left in th emission!! Her companion recently had to go home to get surgery! So she is in a trio now to finish.
I got the package you sent me with the pictures and stickers and bookmarks. thanks for thinking of me!!
Well this week we did not teach Braulio we couldn´t get an appointment and he hasn´t gone to church... hoepfully we can see him this week with president, may be hard because we have interviews and conference next week so president must be really busy.
Hna. hernandez´s birthday was well, kind of hard. we had fun but the members fed us soo much food that monday! we were stuffed, we felt sick that night. I finally gave her a card today. I wanted to make it a funny card so i waited a while because i had to think of a joke. . It was a joke about BRaulio. When we were trying to explain that he doesn´t need to read the entire BOM to know it is true, we shared an example. We said that it is like a cake. If you have a huge cake, you don´t need to eat the whole thing to know it is delicious. YOu just have to try a little piece. But he said, what if the cake has more than one flavor? So you do have to eat the whole cake.. he said.. and started using other examples. So i made her birthday card with a picture of a 5 layer cake on it and i wrote all the ¨flavors¨on it. Hehe.=)
WEll this week was good, we are working hard, we are never short of people to teach but we are looking for the people that will actually accept the gospel. we have a few people that we are working hard with, Marioli, and Graciela, they are both moms that haven´t accepted a baptism date, but we will see, because we know that spirit will answer them, if they ask! Also, miracle, we found a couple that is super great, Fernando and Dabeiba (weird name) they are a young couple, he is a member but inactive for a long time, she is catolic but wants to learn about the church, they live together but are not married but are planning to get married because they are expecting a baby in march. we had a great lesson with them and they went to church on sunday and talked to the bishop, she has accepted a baptism date but it depends on the marriage and if she feels like it is true. They are reading the BOM and setting goals.
Santa cruz is pretty right now! it is the month of santa cruz. the 24th is the day of santa cruz. the trees are blooming with pretty flowers and it is hot again- its spring here.
Wow.. BYU! how embarassing. good thing i´m not there now. all the zoobies must be crying!!
Tanner and Wyatt.. good luck with volleyball!! Rooting for you! Good luck with all the homework too!
I still cant get the pictures to send.. sorry! be patient with me!
Praying for the stake president too.. he´s the australian guy right? or english? i remember him, kind of, i think.
thanks for your support and for suppoirting me in the choice to go on a mission. i have great experiences every day. hard too. but that how it is. thanks for raising me in a great family and always staying strong in the gospel. its something that we dont see as much here in bolivia. it´s not easy to live the gospel but it is the best that you can do for yourself, because the lord blesses you when you try.
well, now i´m gonna go eat churrasco with my district! should be fun. i might buy new shoes again today. we´ll see. we have to go the store to buy food today because we have almost no food in the house. pday is always shopping, shopping shopping. time´s up! love you all have a great week and please keep praying for me and the people here.
love Hermana Tibbitts.
