The BOLIVIANO!!

Hello America!

Well this week was pretty good. I cant believe it is already over. I hate how fast these freaking weeks are passing. I just want it to slow down haha. Well this was week 2 with Elder Cadima and just so you know we are doing good still. So for all of you people of little faith. We communicate perfectly fine. haha I do speak spanish now. Though I dont understand 100% I understand 95 %. Oh I guess that is new info for you guys huh haha I am a full fluent spanish speaking missionary now :) woot woot! Well almost I got a little bit to go, BUT NONE THE LESS! haha So this week here we go.

I really am going to write about one thing, with a few random things too. Ok, in our ward we are having a really hard time. What is happening is that we have found out that over 3 people have cancer. 2 though, are ok. 1 is not. His name is hermano Toloza. He is one of the first guys I met when I got out here in the mission. He is the nicest guy I have ever met. He is super powerful in the church and truly is a man of god. He found out he had cancer in the beginning of dec. He turned yellow and they took him to the hospital and that is how they found it. Well, he was in the hospital for all of dec. and Jan. and almost all of Feb. He is and has been waiting for a call from santiago so that he can go and have an operation to save his life. The call still hasnt come. We ran into his wife the other day and she was on her bike sweating and tired. When we greeted her she was stressed saying that she was looking for priesthood holders to give her husband, who just got out of the hospital a blessing. She had been riding for more than 45 minutes looking but couldnt find anyone. Well we said we would be right there and we started off. She took off ahead on her bike. On the way we called Hermano Gatica and asked him to come with us. Well we got there and to our surprise, two of the presidents of the elders were there! They just happened to be passing by at the right time as the wife of hermano Taloza. Well to say it bluntly... He is on his death bed. He is super sick and needs a miracle. Please pray for him!!! I love this man so much. As I look at this situation I can definitely see the lords hand. It is not only bringing the family of this man together who has 2 inactive sons but also the ward. This un united ward is finally starting to turn to each other and the lord together. It is a big testimony builder. Oh and just so you know, the men in our ward never do there visiting home teaching. Or anything like that but now they are. It is really cool. So yeah please just pray for him.

We had zone conference this last week too. I LOVE ZONE CONFERENCE! :) it is so cool and I always learn something new. :)

Well that is it. I love you all see ya :)
