We haven´t been able to have many opportunities to teach lately. We are not finding new people like I have done in other areas. It´s been easier in the past. We really are trying our best but the people aren't coming. We also are struggling to get members to accompany us. I feel kinda frustrated this week and way to tired. All we do is walk and walk and I actually started to fall asleep in a lesson because of the heat and tiredness.  The coolest thing about Bolivia: there´s a lot of cool things but I love the people and the food most of the time, I love the beauty. The houses are not well advanced like in the States but they make do with what they have.  They are humble.  Pray for the people of my area that we can bring the joy of the gospel to them.  Thanks for your support it does make the hard days better.

I got my birthday package a few weeks ago and I liked it a lot.  Thank you. The chocolate that you sent melted again in the package. I loved the new calendar. Thanks for being super trunkie in it that was a nice reminder that I go home soon. 5 more months. How´s the remodeling of my room going? You should let dad know that I don´t like being lazy anymore and I am planning that the first thing that I´m gonna do when I get home is finish the basement with him, I want that theater room done. I like working and I also have come to realize that I need to learn as much as I can while I live with you guys and as long as I am on this earth. Thanks for the symphony bar too and the new journal was a surprise, I think I`ll use it after the mission cause it doesn´t say missionary journal on it like the other ones. Plus the one I have is not full yet.  I gotta go more stories next week.

I hope that everyone has had an awesome week and has tried their best to share the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. What a pleasure it is and an honor to be at His and at the service of everyone around me. I was thinking lately that I might become a doctor and just serve in other countries like Africa or Asia and serve with my medical knowledge and not charge anyone just always be serving. But we´ll see if that´s in God´s plans for me. What joy sevice brings, I just wanted to give a shoutout first to my Young Mens leaders who were always trying to make me serve and even though I was a punk and didn´t want to sometimes, I truly am grateful. Same thing for my Dad, I believe one of the greatest examples, behind Jesus Himself, of service is my dad. I never saw him try to take recognition or try to be the best of everyone but just loved serving. I´m pretty sure that´s why my Mom chose him too haha. Serve others and you´ll never have to worry about your own needs. Thank you to my Savior and to my Father for giving me this opportunity to be ON THE LORD´S ERRAND.
