My comp and I have been teaching a family with 10 children. I thought my family had a lot of people but this family…  They´re on a whole  new level.  I have yet to meet the  parents. Everytime we´ve gone to there house it´s only been kids ages about 1.5, 3, 4, 7, 9, 13, and 14. Most the time the younger kids are missing atleast half of their clothing. To describe their house  I w ould say it´s a brick room with two  parts, one part for kitchen stuff, tools and things and the second part that they some how squeezed 4 beds into, a dresser that holds ALL of their clothes and of course, a t.v.  We struggle to teach them lessons, cause lets be honest what kids want to listen to two missionaries talk for FOREVER.

She´s 34. HA. I´m no longer the oldest one here. We´re probably the oldest companionship there ever was.  This week has been pretty great. Bolivia is wonderful. It´s Beautiful. It has all sorts of odd smells but it is so Pretty. And everyone really is so nice! ...
