Hole stepper

Heyyyyyy everyone what is up. I hope you are all doing just great. I don't have a ton of time right now, but I just wanted to send a quick email.

Honestly, not a ton happened this week, but it was another great one. We had to travel to an area called El Alto, and while we were walking, my comp literally just stepped in a hole without even noticing. I felt really bad at the moment, because he ripped his pants a little bit, and kinda hurt his leg. But looking back, it was pretty funny hahah. It was a small hole thankfully, which implies that it was probably dug by X-ray. Cause, if you've seen the movie holes, you know, smaller shovel, smaller hole. 

That is unfortunately all the time I have for today. But I just wanted to end with a little tribute to the man himself, Russell M. Nelson. What an incredible man. He has literally lived for a century. That is insane to me. And not just a 100 year life, but an amazing life dedicated to the Lord's work and serving others. He is such a great example to all of us and by simply listening to him, and following what he says, we will be blessed in so many different ways. I have a testimony of the Prophet, and that he really is called of God, and has been called by Him at this time for a reason. Thanks guys. That's all for today.

Have a great week. Here's a few pics.

What's up everyone? What the heck is going on? I apologize to you all for much lack of actual good email. It's very hard to write a good one in my area haha I don't have much time and we only have one phone as a companionship. But anyways I wanted to give you guys an update on how things have been. This week we had our last interviews with our President. He's leaving in like 2 weeks and we're getting a new gringo one. It's definitely exciting but also very sad. I love our current President and he's made a huge impact on my mission. It'll for sure be like that with the new one though so it'll be great. It'll definitely be weird though talking to him in English. It's been a while since I've had an in person conversation with an American adult. Hopefully I don't say something wrong because that would be, let's just say, my worst nightmare. Speaking of a new president. They've been changing a ton of rules here and just basically r...

What is up guys. How we doing this fine Monday morning? I hope all is well. I for one, am doing great. It was a fast and good week. Not a ton happened this week. But one cool thing we did find while going to a lesson in this random obscure place, were Las Ruinas. Translation: The Ruins. Need I say more? Or does the title pretty much sum it up? I'll do it anyway. It was basically just these super old structures surrounded by a really old church. It takes a close second to Machu Picchu. Kidding but it was pretty cool. Unfortunately we couldn't go check out more because it cost money and is also closed on P-days. It was cool though. We set up a mini-golf course in our apartment one night, and it was sick. I was going for an eagle putt on one of the rounds but choked under pressure, and had to settle for a birdie. Not bad, huh? Thanks to my brother in law Rob for showing me the ropes, in both real life and VR. It was fun though. First word of advice: don't try to use a dust p...

Hello everyone what in the world is up. I hope it's been a wonderful week for all of you. I have had a good week here in the pines (Los Pinos is my area). This week we had a baptism! It was for a girl named Jenny and it was awesome! I got to baptize her which was cool. The font was only halfway full due to lack of water recently, but luckily it was enough. I had to really lower her hahah but it worked. It was a great experience especially since it's been our only one this transfer, and my companion's first one in the mission. We also did it yesterday after church so there were a lot of people there thankfully. This week we got absolutely eaten alive by mosquitos which was awful. I just refuse to put repellent on. I don't know if it's cause of the stickiness or cause every time I smell it I think of the morning of a campout, which might be one of the worst feelings in the world. But either way, I HATE putting that stuff on. But alas, I might have to sta...
