In Bolivia Waiting For a Package

Hermana Cuadra is great! She is from Nicaragua and we are dong some good work.  She is different from Hermana Routsong, so it is taking time to adjust.  She has a bit of a short temper and is very straight forward, but i guess i might not be the easiest to work with either.  She already has to much love for the people in this area and is doing all she can to help them.  Pres just told me in an email, ¨Hna Cuadra doesn´t have any support at home and often feels alone.  She has a hard outer shell but with patience and humility I know you can crack it and be a great team.¨ She does have a hard outer shell and I am learning just to cope with what she wants at times, but the mission isn´t about me, and I am blessed to be with her, to learn this patience and humility, that will so greatly help me later in life.  She is an amasing missionary and i am glad that we can both help eachother.  Her name, in english, translates to, Rachel of the Angles Block.  HAHAHAHAHA i was laughing when she told me that. 

 

So we found out why Cintia was having all these problems, she is scared.  She doesn´t want to get hurt again, because she was a little innocent girl and someone tried to take advantage of her, or did, i am not sure.  Now i just pray we can find her mom and talk to her, we haven´t been able to at all.  

 

Dana came to church alone again, well she brought little David, but i am feeling so good about her baptism, yea she is only 11, but she is way better than i was at 11!  May 30! maybe my last saturday here i will be able to see her be baptized, and Hna RS said she will come too! 

 

Ian and Lorey said they are going to stay here until their baptism and then move to where the Elders are.  I am excited! If they get married like scheduled, they will be baptized with Dana!! They are soo cool! 

 

Wendy didn´t come to church again, so she can´t be baptized as schedluled, pucha! She is pretty golden, i am sure their is a good reason, i am just way sad, we are moving her date to the 30th too.  Someone will get baptized then!!! 

 

So it has been so weird without Hna Rs, a little sad, but haha, it happens.  She is close! We were able to eat our saltañas today together so that´s pretty awesome! We had a ncie talk about all the things she is missing, she is sad to not be here and her other area is really hard.  Really hard.  i said she is welcome to come back and work with us! She said she didn´t need to because i have it under control.  Actually this whole week i just kept thinking, ¨Would Hna RS do this? What would she do if she were in my shoes.¨i was unable to think of some answers so i just did what good ol carol would do.

 

Funny story, Hna Theresa has a new living set, that i bet is from the states.  It has a recliner.  Her brother said to her, ¨I bet your daughter from the states would love this!¨He was right i did enjoy it while we were waiting for an investigator!! 

 

I am happy.  I am Healthy.  I am still in Bolivia waiting for that package.
