Count your blessings

Very humbling week. We're starting to find a lot of people to teach lately which is awesome. We saw a lady, her name is Julia, pushing her handicapped son while carrying a bunch of stuff on her back (including a baby) so we ran up to her to help her, we introduced ourselves as usual and all that good stuff and decided to help her all the way to her house. It took about an hour because she lives in the outskirts of Yunguyo where all the farms are and houses made of clay and grass. She told us that she pushes her son everyday into the city to buy the food that they need, and you have to keep in mind that we don't have that many roads here so she has to push the wheelchair through lots of dirt and mud. When we got to their house, she told us that they don't have any light for the house right now as well. It upset me like everytime she talked I was like my goodness I'm spoiled haha. But that awesome thing was is that she was sooo happy. These people are the best people to teach, all they care about is their family and being happy with what they have.

 Yah so that experience slapped me across the face with reality, which I really enjoyed, it's so nice being able to spend all my time helping these people. I don't complain about anything anymore. I eat the chicken feet like it's a double double in n out burger now ;). 

Another humbling experience- there's a man in the ward that blesses the sacrament every single Sunday, but we just found out that he lives in the straight boonies of Yunguyo, 3 hours walking distance from the church. This man wakes up at 6 every sunday to walk 3 hours to the church building to bless the sacrament and is always on time. He doesn't use transportation or anything because he doesn't have the money. Like my goodness dude I hope you get 1000000 blessings. Yah so awesome week, I'm learning a ton. This morning we went to a neighbouring town called Desaguadero, half of it is in Bolivia and the other half is in Peru. I feel like I'm serving in Bolivia I've met so many people from Bolivia and the culture is over here too haha. Hope you all have an awesome week! Enjoy the rain California! Isaiah 41:10-13 

10 ¶Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, eventhem that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

 13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
