Que clase de testigo sere?

¿CÒMO ESTAN? ¿TODO WALLEJIA?!?!?!?!?!

How was your week? I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS AUGUST. That really freaks me out....

This Sunday, I was feeling kind of down again about our area. I am trying to keep hope, but it makes me sad to see that our ward is struggling, too. We barely have support from anyone. We have a hard time getting members to come teach with us. I was pretty discouraged Sunday. But that afternoon, Heavenly Father answered my prayers. We had really, really cool lessons. A member came to visit with us! And I felt like the Spirit was guiding us in what to say and what scriptures to use. We are teaching a really cool Brazilian named Angela who seems really interested. She still hasnt come to church, but we are hoping that she will be able to come this Sunday. 
Then, we taught Vidal. I want to tell you the story about Vidal. So we were walking to an appointment, when we both felt impressed to talk to a man in the park with his daughter. We were both a little nervous, and werent sure if we should, but then we thought about the phrase that we learned in consejo... I FEAR NO MAN! So we ended up talking to him, and he told us that he has talked with missionaries before, and wants to be baptized. WHAT? I actually know his ex-wife. She is the sister-in-law of my pension in Las Cuadras. It was not a coincidence. He has problems with anxiety, so he didnt want to approach us. But when we taught him this Sunday, we found out that he had read the entire pamphlet, AND filled out the questions on the back! NO ONE EVER DOES THAT. He is preparing to be baptized the 29th of August. Miracles happen. Heavenly Father was showing me that I need not lose hope (like I so easily do here in America). He prepares people.

Other news....

- We get to go to the temple on Wednesday! 

- WE WENT TO INCACHACA! It is like the jungle of Bolivia... kind of.... but it was so pretty! Pictures will come... 

- I really discovered this week some thing that Keith told me before I came on my mission. He told me that we have to learn to love the people. That is our main responsibility. We have to show them that we love them! In my patriarchal blessing, it mentions how I have the responsibility to share the love of God that is in me with other people. It is not just about being obedient. It is about the WHY. Why are you being obedient? Because you have to? Or because you love the people? 

I hope that everyone had a great week! 

Kyle, how is your back? 

Tiff, how is your comp? One thing that we also have to learn is to love our companions and SERVE THEM even when they are a little odd.

Keith and Rhiannon, finally leaving the cave, huh?

Kaymay! Keep practicing driving! I forgot how to drive, so you have to teach me!
