Tuna grows on Cacti

Good week this week=) Honestly one of the best that I have had in the mission. Not only was the weather perfect all week and the night sky the very most beautiful, but we had a ton of success in the work!

I went on exchanges this week with Hermana Pardo and I love her so much. I learned a ton from her and am so grateful I got to know her=) She is from Chile, and we would've been dang good friends if we had been comps.

Then a miracle happened. We met Byron. He is from Colombia and had listened to all the missionary lessons twice and decided to get baptized, but had some issues in Colombia so he was headed to Chile to get baptized. Then he ran into a member from our ward here when he was leaving Colombia, and started talking to him about the church and the member found out that he was headed out to be baptized, so he invited him to be baptized in Bolivia!!!! And we have the privilege to be the missionaries to lead him into the water=) He really has a stronger testimony than many of the members I know. He is so ready for baptism and I am so lucky to have known him during my time here.

Also we went to the temple with some investigators this week and it was so special. We went around in the temple gardens, and with a bunch of the younger members in our ward we sung hymns. Even though Bolivians can't keep a tune, and it sounded awful to my ears, the spirit was definitely there=)

Love you all!

Fun Facts:

- There is a fruit that grows on the cacti here and it is soooo yummy. It is called Tuna!

- Even though there are "seasons" here, the trees ALWAYS have leaves. They never turn red and yellow, and they don't fall off!
