La Paz--Feb 22, 2016

President Klein and I

 So this week has been great.  On Tuesday we had our district meeting, and they announced changes.  I am the only person leaving the district.  After that I spent the day saying goodbye to all the families that we teach or that are awesome.  That was sad.  Then I  was up till like 1:00 in the morning (#sotired #whitepeopleproblems) then I went to the bus stop ALONE to go to Progreso.  That was crazy!  I was just on the bus by myself, but I felt so weird.  There I got on a bus to La Paz, and met my new comp, Elder Garnica.  He's super cool.

Our area is a bunch of little areas from all over the place, so we ride the bus a ton!  We go to the gym in the city every morning with Ouzounian and the elders from the office.  Pretty great.  On Saturday night, the bishop called us and asked to speak in church on Sunday about brotherhood and being friends with new converts.  I can't think of good word that means that in English.  It would translate to brother-ment?  So yeah, 2 talks in 2 weeks--awesome!
Then later that day President Klein called us and asked if he could work in the field with us.  That was an awesome two lessons!  I was really nervous to go with the president until he got there.  Then we calmed down and had an incredible teaching experience.
Then on P Day we played basketball with the zone, then went to eat pizza, then came here.  Pretty awesome.

My new area is La Paz in the Zona La Lima.  It's super hot here but awesome. My comp is another guy from Bolivia, but he's way different.  We've had sooo much fun here already.  He's great.  He has like 18 months, so he knows everything by now.  And the ward is HUGE!  Like 150-160 people.  We eat lunch at a place called Comidas Gabriela, that should show up on Google Maps.  We don't have a cook or a laundry person, so that stinks.  This is the closest zone to San Pedro, that isn't in the city--it's hot but I like it.  We live in the old patriarch's house.  It's not bad, but the toilet doesn't work which is kinda gross.  But I like the house.  (Satelite is the zone by San Pedro Sula, but only a little.  Just enough to see all the awesome restaurants, but not go to any!)

Elder Bryant from IDAHO!  Super awesome.  SUPER.
