Hello everyone,
im gonna try and change my email style for now, sorry its just a little hard to answer everyone the same stuff in the same emails three or four different times. so, a lot of people are asking me about the area that i am in. Well, first thing is first, i did not have a transfer the last change, im still in Yacuiba which is in the province of Tarija. it is really really close to argentina, lets just say that i can see it every day. well, at least the mountains that are there. and yes i am now in a different enviroment completely. It is dryer, and hot still, but not as hot as it was in Guayaramerin. The people are still great and i love the service, I am with a north american companion still, Elder Fa´Alafua. He is a samoan, well, his dad is from samoa and his mom is from Hawaii, with chinese and japanese heritage. So he looks pretty much like the mix between a chinese and samoan. well, we are doing well, working hard and trying to help these two people that we are working with get baptized. so yeah us! I would try and send some pictures but i have fear of getting a virus in my chip and it eating all my pics, im just not down for that, so sorry you guys might have to wait a little bit until you guys see my photos in the house. Well, other than that, a good experience i had the other day. I was walking out of a house, from visiting them in the tarde. it was a nice visit but we continued to walk. we were walking up the street and i had the impression that we should stop and visit a member, so i told my comp, ¨hey lets stop here and visit¨ he agreed and we stopped to visit. We got there and realized that there was another member from the church visiting, she said that she was sick with dengue and that she was praying for strength and that we would come and visit her in her house, but she did not know how, because we never visit her, so we stopped and gve a bendicion de salud. it was awesome, i got to bless her and give her the blessing, i felt inspired by the spirit and it was an overall great experience, she got up from the blessing and was crying, she said it was exactly what she needed to hear. I felt priveledged to be a part of that blessing and especially to have listened to the inpressions of the lord. gotta say one thing that i have learned here in the mission, is that there is no such thing as coincidence. God has a plan for us all, and that we are all a part of it if we give the heed and acknowledgement to the spirit that we need too. Other than that I survived all the borrachos and partys of carnaval. I spent a boring 3 days in the house with nothing to do, but i do say that i was able to do some drawing which i had not done in a while, so i enjoyed that very much. well, im glad to here that all the babies in the family are doing well, and that everyone seems to be doing well, other than the few health issues we have and the poopy pants from lillys potty training, me siento para lilly, los inodores son feo, especialmente acá en bolivia! well, hope that everyone is doing well and i hope to see you all next week. Hey quick reminder, my driver´s liscence is going to expire here soon, like in 4 months, so if you or someone could please go and renew it, i signed a paper that allowed for it to be done, hope you guys still have it. well, hope you all enjoy this one email, I plan on doing this from now on. so keep it real yall, happy fin de Febrero!
love, corban
