Pancakes and Love!

Isabella's Letter

this pday we are going to the mine yay! its going to be pitch black and small. here in potosi they believe the mine has a god who they call el tio the uncle and its the devil they think he´s the owner of the mine. and so i will take pictures. this morning i woke up really early and went with my companion to make pancakes we were the heros of all the north American missionaries they turned out fantastic. because a sister was going home. sad. and we whipped cream and added canned strawberries. they were yummy. this week we worked so hard, this week was also week of transfers and i asked the president to keep my comp here and he agreed i am so glad. we get along very well and people sometimes think we are sisters and on mondays we clean the house and dance and laugh and our unity shows in our lessons and its so fun to just contact people on the street and give them correct principles to govern their lives and my comp has adopted many of the things i do very well and i have taken the things she does too. this week was a bit harsh, the bishop thinks the world of us and trusts us very much and i teach Sunday school for the teens and they laugh and cry and are ashamed at times and commit to read and share the gospel its truly edifying. what was harsh this week is that we met a great young man, alvaro who helped us teach his mother how to pray in quechua and accepted to be prepared to be baptized and then the next day wanted to avoid any contact with us it was very strange, then we had a young girl darla open up to us about the abuse in her house and then the next time her younger sister was sent by her mom to censor everything she said and then this same week we found that same little girl in the house of a witch in our area. very creepy. everytime we are to teach her something interrupts and chases the spirit away so we decided to read outloud the scriptures and to sing hymns and all that creepy stuff started to dissipate. and then the family we are working with asked for more time to be baptized. and we had no investigators in church this sunday. but! rocios father our recent convert who is less active had a nice sweater and took us in his taxi to church and was very easily persuaded to come in and the kids at the end just gave the best lesson, they began to say father you need to come every week now we loved having you there. that was very rewarding. and whats best is that we have the lord on our side and we just need more humility more obedience more faith and more prayer and eveything will turn out fine we found alvaros mom in the street and with the best hand gestures i told her i was sad alvaro didnt want to hear us anymore and she said she would talk to him. and her best friend is an old investigator of the elders and they speak quechua and spanish this wed im going to begin clases with them. whats nice about life is that its fixable everything has a solution and there is always tomorrow. and when there is no tomorrow then we are in heaven chilling and learning or repenting and Gods plan is that we progress. anyways take care

Christopher's Letters

Love you!

 

Pictures from the last two weeks.  Weddings and Baptisms!

 

I want you to know that I love you.
This week has been a good week and a difficult week.
I cant say all of the reasons why. We have
had some really exciting experiences.

We have a new rule that we can
only write for 30 minutes, so I will
begin to write you by hand more
starting today. Sorry. Thats just
the way it is.

Right now, we dont have any information
if we can use skype.

I love you.
Elder Hill.
