FROM BASEBALL TO BOLIVIA! : Mi Familia y Amigos

Wow, this week FLEW by. It's crazy that I've already past my 4 month mark. It's so weird how time goes while on a mission. I feel like yesterday I was sitting in a classroom in the CCM with a teacher speaking some foreign language that sounded like jibberish.

Now, here I am, finished with my training as a missionary, having conversations, teaching lessons, bonding with members investigators, and bearing testimony in that very same foreign language. I have tons of room to improve for sure. But it's comforting to know how much the Lord has helped me to learn this language in the past 4 months and how far I've come in the language and my testimony. I've come to find a true love and gratfulness for this gospel and that I've had a front row seat watching this gospel change lives of a different country.

We have transfers this Wednesday and my companion and I are likely to be separated after our two transfers together. He really has changed my life. He's helped my attitude, perspective, drive, and desire to become better everyday. I'm so grateful for the people I have met on my mission, and that I will meet and i'm grateful that people right now are being prepared to hear this truth that we have. How great of a privilige that I have to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord.

I love you all and I thank you for the many examples I have received from all of you to prepare me for this time on my mission. I hope you all have a great week. Always remember to pray to the Lord for help in all things. I promise that he is there.

P.S, the weird food in the picture is fish that was "cooked" by sitting in only lime juice. yeah not a huge fan, but it was cool to try it
