Bolivia......

So, you´d think after almsot 18 months in far away places, my stomach
would be used to crazy foods. NOT. This week, all three of us gringas
in my house got sick. Poor Hna Morocco had to take care of us all...
She should be a nurse!:) Luckily for me, I got better within 2 days.
On the other hand, the other girls arent feeling too good still. Then,
just as we   were finally all starting to feel good enough to leave
bed, we get a call from the zone leaders... emergency cambio.. Hna
dolbin left! NO! that girl is like my sister..now, i am dying in the
same house as someone who came to bolivia with me, but will be going
home next transfer! crazy how it all makes one big cycle!
So, i wish there was a ton more to tell you guys!
This week, we were teaching an athiest named Madeleine. Or, at least
she claims she is athiest. She was telling us how cold hearted she
was, and how bitter she was, and how she didnt love anyone, and how
she doesnt believe in anything to do with angels or God or Christ or
anything... she just believes in herself...And the whole time she was
talking, i just felt the strongest impression that she was lying, that
we had to say something to basically call out her lie... well how in
the world do we do that!??! So i said a quick prayer, and when the
time came, the member with us asked her "Why is it that you invited us
to come visit you? You told us that you wanted to be a better example
to your little sister, and you thought God could help you do it. If
you were cold and bitter, you wouldn´t go through that much effort to
be a good amazing example to your sister. You want her to find God
when she is older, and so you are finding Him. That isnt cold, that
isnt bitter..."
GO MEMBERS!!!!!!:)
The walls around Madeleine´s heart began to crumble... and it was an
amazing experience. I hope this week, we see even more miracles with
her!!:) I love missionary work! I hope you all stay healthy, stay
happy, work in the Lord´s vineyard, and have a wonderful labor day! :)
Love,
