Cochabamba, Bolivia

Things I love This week compi wrote out the words to a song in Spanish. I have the song on my iPod so we have been listening to it on REPEAT and SCREAMING along. Haha I’m so grateful she wrote out the words for me… because for we all know I am TERRIBLE with lyrics… I think she was sick of hearing me try to figure out what was being said, thus she wrote the lyrics for me :) This week I became OFFICIAL. Woop, woop. I finally got my Bolivian I.D. Every time we go to the spot for VISA stuff there’s always traffic like crazy and crossing the street is a mess. But this last time we went there was a policeman standing around, he saw compi and I and STOPPED the traffic so that we could pass. Special treatment?! Yeah, I’ll take it.  There’s a guy in our ward named Miguel. He’s 21 years old and just got back from his mission 3 months ago. EVERY TIME we go to his house he LOVES pushing food on us. He just sits there and laughs because it hap...

This   week   was strange but SO GOOD. We had conference. Inter-cambios. Lots of service. AND. We went to the temple with one of our new converts WAHOO. But with all that it felt like we didn´t work very much… which means we´ll be working EXTRA this   week . (Sorry for all the mission terms that probably mean nothing to half of you.) Things I love: Alright. I always hated when people told me they could feel prayers that were being said for them. I thought it was the cheesiest thing I had ever heard. And I just didn´t believe them. BUT. I believe them now. IT´S TRUE. Merrrrr. I´m turning into a cheeseball… But I am so grateful for all the prayers that have been said for me. And it´s real. I FEEL THEM. My compi loves learning English. I love listening to her pronounce things AND I love that she learned the phrase ¨right now¨. Hahah she´ll ask me to do something and then look at me and say, ¨RIGHT NOW¨. It makes me laugh everytime, especially when I think of my po...

We went paint balling this morning!! Woop woop it was so fun! My compi is CRAZY and I love it. She loves to dance, correct my Spanish, wear hot pink lipstick and the color black. We have lots of fun. And we teach lots of lessons  :) Things I love: This week we were visiting a family and they served us food (whats new?). It was super messy. I don´t know  what it was called but it was like fry bread with a purple drink that you could dip your fry bread in. One of the girls was 5 years old and when I looked at here she had purple juice stuff ALLLLL over her. I asked her ¨¿Que paso?!¨ and without hesitating she glared at me and told me it was her beard. Haha I laughed so hard. I love the children here. IT´S IS GETTING WARMER. Alright. Our house used to be 57 degrees. I have a thermometer on my clock and that might not sound very cold but it was FREEZING. I would sleep with a beanie and my huge jacket and long socks. BUT now our house is 65 degrees and it´s THE BEST. I d...
