First week of November 2013
OCTOBER 2013
WEEK OF OCTOBER 22 - 29th My zone with our zone shirts ;) This past Sunday, The hermanas of the Cobija ward had a missionary activity with the youth of their ward and so our whole zone went and helped. We all split up and "Hermana Castellanos" was my companion for a few hours. We all went out and proselyted and got tons of references for Hermana Mullisaca and Hermana Lee. Our ward here has done the same activity too and that would be awesome if you guys can do that in your wards at home! Great missionary experience for the youth and practice for those who are getting ready to go out!
Jhonatan Babtism Day! Saturday, October 19, 2013 wonderful day!!
Spending some time with Betty and her family

WEEK OF OCT 7 - 14, 2013
This is our bottle missionary program. The bottles are filled with water, we give one to each auxilliary every week. Then someone in their auxilliary takes the bottle and invites a friend to hear the gospel. It has proven to be a great way to get appointments! This was the idea of my companion, she is great!

So this guy came to our Branch that makes these wonderful Scripture Covers. I had not spent any of my birthday money as I was saving it for something special like this. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me! I am so excited...I LOVE THEM. They have my name, mission and also my favorite scripture on the back.

PDAY FUN We went Bowling for our Pday with the Zone. It was so fun and I took 2nd Place. Hey, that means I still have it! Thanks to all those Thanksgiving Bowling outings with the Arizona Forseys! The Bowling alley was awesome too. As you can see, not much different than the states. Complete with flat screens! It was a fun day! |
Week of OCTOBER 1st - 6th, 2013
We watched conference all together (all the English speaking!) so we could hear it in our 'own language'. So glad, because I love hearing all of the accents. I loved conference. It was just amazing. I loved all of the thoughts that reminded members should be actively participating in missionary work WITH the missionaries!
So glad we have a temple in our mission! Also glad that I am serving in Cochabamba where you get to go to the temple every 3 months! So wonderful!
SEPTEMBER 2013
Week of September 24th through the 30th, 2013
For PDay breakfast (Sept 30) we went to the home where Hermana Bolanos & Hermana Mullisaca live. The family let us use their kitchen, and the Elders in our District made some yummy chocolate pancakes! Sooooo gooooood!
There aren't really 'dogs and cats' in Cochabamba- The cats just think they are dogs- as you can see in the picture. So there is a TON of DOGS! It is the norm for them to hang around together. Bob Marley to the right here (ha ha) finds his way around with his nose! |

Cochabamba Sunset! Now ya all know how much I love that!
