Another week in Bolivar Aug 22, 2016

Well this week was a colder one so that was rough i was getting used to the warmth, anyways this week was awesome, we had a lesson with our investigator family, anyways we were teaching and i couldn't speak for nothing, all my Spanish left my head so i put my head down and starting thinking and my comp
starting teaching again so i said a little prayer that my Spanish would come back, then i started teaching about baptism and i said every word i wanted to say my tongue was loosed it was awesome, then at the end of the lesson the dad said i love when you guys are here there is such a peace when you guys are here and our family is calm and look at my wife she is sitting here and participating and the first day you guys came she said she was leaving, it was awesome because she listens to us and loves us, anyways the spirit was super strong and i love this family.

Then we have Jesus Lopez i could honestly hang out with him all day he is such a gomer but hilarious and when animals come to his house he keeps them and gives them American names like Jo and Russell hahha i love that guy.

Also this week Saturday night we got a call from the branch president that we had to speak in church the next day and i was freaking out because it will be my first talk in Spanish so i wrote for an hour and a half and i was worried people wouldn't like it or understand me, then after sacrament a recent convert as of 1 and half years ago that is super active and loves the church with her whole heart came up to me and said i loved your talk did you write it out? i said yes and she said make a copy of it and i want it i loved it so much so that made me super happy that she liked it. anyways thats all i have for this week. love you all!

BOLIVAR EL MEJOR Aug 15, 2016

Well every one this week was good and super warm we went to Olavarria on Tuesday and had a meeting with the zone it was good, today was a holiday and we walked the city looking for a place to write the families and we finally found one haha, anyways today we are gonna cook and asado for my birthday and just party haha, but we put a kid on date this week for baptism but he didnt come to church he slept in, he told us its weird getting into these habits of Reading and praying all the time, so we told him not to worry and he will get it.

 also this we we had 50 people in our tiny church house it was awesome to see that many people. this week i was helping a member take stuff into the church and i put my scripture case on top off the car to help her take stuff in, and when i came back out the car was gone, so i was freaking out, but i came back 2 hours later and they had them, i had a lot of stuff marked in my bible that i didnt want to have to re mark and find haha, anyways im starting to understand people a lot better now and i am forgetting English haha.

we had a lesson with this guy and his wife and she whipped out her boob and started breast feeding and then someone went into there store thats on the side of the house and he left so we were just sitting there and she is talking to us, as soon as he got back we prayed and left because it was awkward, not for my comp because he is latino and its normal for him, but i was just staring at the ceiling or the walls haha.

In church this week a guy gave a talk and it was awesome he said "do i go to church, or do i participate in the church" it was a good saying, it made me think about before the mission and if i participated or just went, but its a good question to think about. Anyways i love you all and i love the work, AUGUANTE USA in the Olympics

Bolivar 7-24-16

Well i super good week in the great white south, this week we found 6 new investigators so that was good, anyways on Monday we were in Olavarria and we went to the straight ghetto and skate park and played basketball, there were kids break dancing and listening to biggie smalls, and just straight up hood music on the corner the corner of the court, then some kids came and asked if we wanted to play ball, they were all tatted up and smoking while they were playing, haha we destroyed them and i stuffed them so much haha, they were like these north americans can jump hahah. i was so sore after cause its been so long since ive played.

Later in the week we were walking down the street and heard someone whistle at us, and we never look at them because usually they mess with you but we decided to look and this guy waves us over to his shop and he starts naming book of Mormon prophets, he is from the northern part of Argentina and moved here 17 years ago and always went to church up there, but was never baptized and he didn't know there was a church here, so we have been working with him lately. he works on semis and big trucks haha hes sweet.

Another funny thing that happened this week was we were walking down the street at night in one of the ghettos and we heard a bunch of kids yelling and what sounded like a ton of people running, but it was just to kids bombing down the street on a horse chasing dogs haha. also we saw some people with like 10 greyhounds all chasing rabbits in a field ahha these people caught a ton of rabbits with the dogs, anyways thats it for my week it was a good one.
