Santa Cruz is the coolest!

So! Another week has ended and begun! This past week was hard for various reasons. Being sick in the mission is no fun, especially after a long time. Some weeks are better than others.

But some great things happened! There was an investigator in my last ward, who needed to get married! and when I left, I left some clothes there (we always do!). One of the things I left was a white skirt I didn't want anymore. Who uses white in Bolivia anyway? haha:) but anyway, on Monday, the sisters there told me that Norma, the investigator, is getting married THIS WEEK. and they don't have ANY money... for anything. but when they realized I left my white skirt there.. and it was the perfect fit for her.... She is now able to be married in white. I cried... Who could have known? God sure provides for us!

This week too I learned something SUPER COOL about mission Bolivia Santa Cruz! so my pensionista served in this mission! and when Preach my Gospel came out for the first test run, they sent an English copy (of which they copied and gave to all the missionaries) to three missions in the world.

one in Utah

one in England

AND ONE IN BOLIVIA SANTA CRUZ. My mission is the coolest, right? and my pensionista was the first to use it! each day they had to translate the English copies to Spanish and study that! HOW COOL IS THAT!??! that was the test drive, and later they came out with the real preach my gospel that we have now! It blew my mind!

As well, I´d love to wish all the fathers out there ESPECIALLY MINE a Happy Bolivian Fathers day!! Fathers day was this week here in Bolivia... So Happy Bolivian Fathers Day!!:):)

I hope you all have a great week! keep praying for missionary opportunities!

here is a picture of the fried frog we found... still in it´s perfect form... but completely dried up. super gross! But for sure it was a different experience to have a frog fall out of a tree and into your hair! :)
