"Somos mayores que la PIL"

"Somos mayores que la PIL" is something Elder Ferreira said this week. And I don't actually remember the context, but it was hilarious when he said it. PIL, by the way, is the big milk/juice company here in Bolivia. This subject is kind of lame, but I kind of committed to putting an Elder Ferreira quote there every week. So there you go. 

As it turns out, everyone thinks I look like superman "Elder Clark Kent" hasn't died yet. We have one member who lives across the street who says she was with her friend in the car when we walked past. She told her that we were the missionaries in her ward, and her friend said I look like Superman. And then a couple days later this same member was outside her house in the street with her cousin when we walked past. So talking to me, she asked her cousin "como quien parece?" or "who does he look like?". So she thought for a second, and then "Ohh! Superman!!". I guess its because of the glasses. And because I'm white. And all my muscles, I hope.

As far as Saul goes, we actually lost contact with him. I'm bummed out about it. And his little sister got baptized in her uncle's church that he started like two days after we started visiting him, and she wants like nothing to do with us now. Sadly, I don't think we'll be having a baptism this transfer. But hopefully we can find Saul and start teaching him again.

But early this week, we changed houses, in what I thought was going to be way better than our old house. But as it turns out, some things kind of suck. Like the tiny bathroom that always has water on the floor for some reason. And the doors that are really hard to open and close. And Peruvians tend not to flush their toilet paper and just leave it in the corner. But its still better than the old house. And sorry, mom, but I didn't take pictures. I'm kind of bad at that. I would say "next week" but I probably won't remember to take pictures this week either. I'll won't raise your expectations higher than they should be.

But this week went pretty well. We actually have investigators with fecha bautismal. we started re-teaching an older investigator named Viky, who has had a whole lot of problems with her ex husband and his sister. She wants to be baptized, but says she has some problems with repentance and forgiveness. She accepted a baptismal date, but definitely needs some prayers. I would appreciate help with that. Sadly, if she's baptized, it might not be while im in this area. We have transfers next Tuesday already, and I think I'll be leaving. Just a gut feeling, I actually have no idea. but we'll find out.

Well that's all for this week. Love you all!

PS: I officially completed 5 months in the mission. I feel old

My comp is a little crazy and he spray painted his tie. But it actually looks kind of cool

We were waiting for a member in a park so we decided to head to the swings for a little bit

A Despicable me 3 promotion has been on the boxes of Chocapic (the best cereal in Bolivia) that comes with a "foto clip". You're supposed to put your own picture here, but I decided Jesus would be better
