Basically Tuesday until Thursday were normal days, we got to visit some towns that are further out than our normal city routine so that was really cool, lots of walking. We were able to talk to this guy who was sitting outside playing his guitar and I was just waiting for the question if I knew how to play haha, he asked and then we talked a lot about music and of course the gospel, you can always connect with people, I think it's something I need to do more, try to find at least one thing I have in common with these people and be able to share the gospel through that.
Friday we went to Pitumarca as a District, Pitumarca is another little town pretty far away that mostly only speaks Quechua, there is a "Casa-capilla" there with about 40 members. Very very humble people, we did a cool little misison night where we dressed up as prophets and talked about them. I was Joseph Smith and Elder Bolduc was Moses haha, super fun. I'll send some pictures of the church, very humbling and kinda made me think a lot.
Saturday the other missionaries had a couple baptisms so we helped out with that, then we went to our ward's mother's day activity cause they wanted the missionaries to do a talent or something so I played the guitar and we sang some trunky songs:)
Sunday I got to talk to the fam!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a blast talking to them. (Love you guys!!) Pretty crazy how fast time goes. Hope all you Moms out there had a good Mother's day!!
Okay...Today is trasnfer day and I'm leaving!! I'll be going pretty far out kind of towards Lima to place called Andahualyas, I don't really know too much about it but I've heard it's different haha, I have to travel to Cusco, then 6 hours to Abancay, then 3 more to Andahuaylas. My companion will be Elder Calle, (Elder Street haha) He's also from Bolivia! I've heard he's cool so I'm sure we'll get along fantastic, I'll let you all know how it goes! Pretty excited. Actually, Elder Letham has been in the exact same area where I'll be going so I'll be working with some of his converts and all that good stuff! Hopefully everything goes well! excited to see how my new area is, it'll be a branch which I'm actually happy about, I really like working in small branches and it'll be something different from the giant ward I'm in right now.
I'm sending pictures of a couple that have been super awesome about helping the missionaries out, when Elder Sanjines and I came to the ward brand new it was kinda hard starting everything up again but Nefi and Daisy were always there to help us out. They're due a baby girl about right when I go home:)
Wow I wrote a lot this time, but I'll be pretty sad to leave Vilcanota and my companion, it's been a good run, I love this ward a lot, also being able to see Fany, Raul and Nathaly be baptized was awesome, hopefully someday I can see them again. The mission is super bipolar, excited for the new change but sad to leave. Also gonna miss Mami Mery a ton, it's been a blast.
I hope you all have an awesome week!! Alma 37:7
7 And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls.
