"If ever there was a place where it is easy to get depressed it is in Bolivia, especially Colquiri."

Man, what a day.

If ever there was a place where it is easy to get depressed it is in Bolivia, especially Colquiri.

I finally got my suitcase today, minus my electric razor.  I hope whoever has it uses it in the bathtub and electocutes himself!

I'm surprised I still have a head attached to my body.  I have hit it on roofs, doors, and bars and almost had it severed millions of times by clotheslines.

It is time to go to bed.  Maybe I will write some more of these exciting things tomorrow.  Elder Kupu and I have been fasting for the Mamanis family, we are going to baptize them tomorrow wow!

Learning To Lose Yourself In The Work

Some things are going to change.  Tonight I missed one answer on our scripture quiz.  THe answer was 3 Nephi 27:8 and I wrote 3 Nephi 28:7.  I really got upset when that happened.

After the exam we had family home evening out on the lawn.  I was really impatient for it to get over.  Anyways, it went slow.  Brother Segrera came by with his wife and they sat down.  Elder Casey then told us about how he had been homesick and had prayed for an answer.  Then this morning he had an interview with Elder Segrera.  He told Elder Casey that he would need to lose himself in the Lord's work. That sentence really struck home.  I realize that I must break some ties so that I can fully devote myself to the Lord's work.  I am not so sure now but I must develop the faith to know that my loved ones will be blessed and safe while I am away.

I don't know exactly what is going to happen.  I guess I will have to pray.
