To start off we just had two baptisms this past weekend and a rescued family of 4. We are doing great here.  This is Paula and Juan Carlos. They are super awesome. I am speaking pretty well as far as I can tell. The people understand me that's all I know so maybe I am doing something right. We have been finding a lot of new people by talking in the street to everyone. We have a new investigator named Juaquin and he is so funny. He has a date for the 21st of February to get baptized.  This is the Paniagua family who just got rescued and they baptized their daughter. I have been working with them since I got here to Bolivia. They are the best. This month of February coming up is gonna be awesome. This month there is a celebration here called Caneval. If you saw Rio the movie, that is Caneval in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. That is the biggest Carneval celebration in the world. Here is a little bit smaller but still crazy. We are going to be staying in house for three days. The 14th at night is when it starts but it goes from the 15th to the 17th of February. Yay spending my birthday in house doing nothing. It's all good though. I have come to learn a lot about myself and I realize that only through and by the name of Jesus Christ our Savior can we be saved. I have seen a lot of lives change just through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everybody needs to know that there is someone always looking out for them. I have seen lives change here just by preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have seen people stop drinking, get married (cause nobody here gets married, they just live together and think that qualifies as marriage), people quit jobs to be home with their families and people have taken the steps to keep the Sabbath Day holy. It is amazing what Christ can do for our lives. I love being a missionary and I love my Savior Jesus Christ. I am a servant of Him for two years and it is the best time in the world.  I know that my Savior lives. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I have now read it in two languages and I know that it is true. I encourage all of you to read it from cover to cover. Sit down and take the counsel in its pages to heart and then become a better person. I love all of you but right now I am on the Lord´s Errand. See ya when my service is done. I love you all.
