buenos dias familia mia les amo mucho les quiero por siempre!
janice, dave, i didnt answer last time because i didnt know what would be best i still dont know what a camera will cost but it be better i buy it here i cant imagine it be more that 700bs but i miss my camera alot, of bolivia besides the people which i love, i like most their music especially from tarija and their graffiti its so cool, if i wasnt a member and didnt believe in honoring the laws of the land i´d probably be a tagger i had a lot of friends in vegas who would tag and get cought and so i stopped hanging with them because of what i learned in church which i knew was smart and true. the gospel is smart and true but i still love to see rebellious creative art on streets. there is an artist here in my zone who writes of christ its so wonderfully beautiful, and i would show you but i lost those pictures. last weekend we had a dance festival to which i was able to take investigators to it was so wonderful i attached a picture. last wed i think was the aimara new year, they still have burnt offerings of gold and silver and coca leaves and llamas to the god sun. (the incorrect traditions of the fathers) this week i said how can i chose faith over sadness for the hardness of heart like chris said in one of the letters i received we need to be the first to believe in the change of heart they can have. and my eyes were guided to this scripture when i was having a hard day verse 7 .. there was no water that could hurt them their vessels being tight like a dish (vaso) and verse 10.. & thy had light continually whether above or under water.. this scriputre talks about the brother of jared ( meaning chris jk ha ha) and how they were trying to make their way to the promise land. i liken the promise land to my eternal home with all of you and my bolivian brothers and the way we make it there is making our vessels tight like unto a dish that no water can hurt us. and pleading with the lord that a few rocks (our debilities and difficulties) can be illuminated by his ever loving hand that we may have light under water or above it (in good times or tough times) and what is our vessel? our faith. Our faith is what carries us home to a Hevenly father we cannot see but feel. i have to go but i love you and drink deeply from the water of life, the scriptures are living water. this week i saw how one investigator of 6 months was converted by one scripture and a dream relating to the scripture i shared. ezq 36: 26 oh and i spoke to a nun about how she should have a familiy and she should ask GOd if what i shared was true and that if it was she should follow his counsel she said she would although she looked scared. i´ll tell you more next time ciao hna florido

Okay!
I love you all very much, and I am happy.
A few things. I´ve lost a lot of weight. I can wear a 36 size pant. Very soon I´ll need money to buy new clothes(sorry!) With 100 dollars I can buy more than enough. So, if you could, when you can, thank you so much.
Um.....
I don´t know what to say. I love you I miss you. I hope that grandpa gets better. Maybe he could eat raw foods! Buy one of Gabriel Cousen´s books. He can raise the dead by nutrition (and cure diabetes).
Um. My companion is really funny. I can pick him up with one arm. Haha. He´s like a little brother. But he has secrets! He talks a lot with other latin misionaries. And with me, he´s really quiet, but a fantastic person.
That´s all I have. The next week i´ll plan the letters better!
