FAMILY! I´m here! POTOSI FOR LIFE! Yup. I didn´t get
transferred... and I was so so happy. I´ll be in Potosi for about 2 more
months. And I didn´t even get a new companion! Which I am also way happy about,
bc I love Hna Francia. She is so great. So yeah. I think I´ll die in Potosi.
I´ll be here forever. But that´s okay, because we are working with some cool
families.
I always write in lists because I hate typing so much...
- It is finally getting warm here! It feels like spring. But
it also is starting to rain more....
- We found an awesome lady in our ward that has a washing
machine! So today was the first day of my mission that I didn´t have to wash my
garments. I was happy.
- Yesterday, for our cambios, we had a fiesta de cereales! A
CEREAL PARTY! It reminded me of all my cereal parties with Steph and Jefe. It
was way fun. We ate cereal with yogurt, ICECREAM, and milk. It was way fun. I
was so nervous for cambios, but it all turned out okay. I had SO MUCH ENERGY
after because I ate so much cereal because I was so nervous! hahahaha
- I GOT ALL MY PICTURES BACK! I had to pay 50 bs for them,
but it´s all good. So I will try to send pictures of THE MINE!
- I HAVE MY OWN PORO! So my comp and I are going to start
making maté in the mornings for breakfast.
- WE HAVE A BAPTISM THIS SATURDAY! Her name is Ruth. She is
amazing. I love her so much. She is 19 years old, and 3 months pregnant. She
has been so prepared by the Lord. I didn´t even have to do anything. She
already had so much faith. We are really excited.
- I wanted to share something that I learned in
companionship study. So my companion and I are always searching for scriptures
about the pure in heart. It says in the scriptures that the pure in heart shall
see Heavenly Father. Well we found in a church manual something that has
changed my life forever. I understand what it means now! If you have a pure
heart, and are doing all that Heavenly Father wants you to do, you can see the
face of God every single day. You don´t have to wait until the next life. If
you truly have a pure heart, you will see the face of God in all things. I can
see the face of my Heavenly Father in my investigators and the people here.
Only those who are truly looking and have a clean heart can see the beauty of
Heavenly Father all around them. Cool, huh?????
- We are teaching this awesome family, la familia Mitchel.
The mom is a less active member, and only the son is active. The rest of the
family hasn´t been baptized. Right now, we are focusing on teaching their
teenage son, Raphael. He is way cool. This family is so amazing, I wish you
guys could meet them. Their dad is deaf, and they are learning sign language so
that they can communicate them. He was struck by lightning! So after his
accident, their family really became close, and they are such a strong family.
They do everything together. They remind me of the goal that I had before my
mission.... I want to help families to be together forever. I want to help this
family to be together forever.
- Today, we just had a free pday. We did´t have any plans
with our zone, but we ended up eating lunch with some elders. It was fun. We
also bought a BUNCH of oatmeal and cereal to eat. MOM. You should look for
CHIAVENA in the States. Mom. It is SO GOOD. It is oatmeal with chia. It is my
favorite breakfast now. I eat it with yogurt, raisins, bananas, and oranges. IT
IS SO GOOD. My companion and I are obsessed with it. I´ll probably start
sprouting green hairs eventually, but I DON¨T CARE! I LOVE IT! Yeah... it´s
weird... I eat chia pets for breakfast.... but you gotta try it.....
I really don´t remember what else happened this week. It
went by so fast! OH! I hit my 4-month mark! Can you believe that??????????? I
have been gone for FOUR WHOLE MONTHS! It is so so bizarre.
How is the family doing? How is my mama doing??? I hope
everyone is doing okay! I am doing great. I am healthy... thanks to chiavena!
Hahahahahahahah
The first picture is of my zone. About 5 of them will be
leaving tomorrow thanks to transfers. The second picture is from Dia de Bolivia! It is like their 4th of July. There were parades and everything. It was cool.
So yeah. Mom and dad, you can breathe. I wasn´t transferred.
Absolutely NOTHING changed, and that is cool with me. I love my ward.
I´m gonna send this one off so I can read some of your
letters!
I LOVE YOU ALL!
Hna Routsong or as everyone here says "Hna
Zoutsong".... weird.....
