Hola Family,
This week was pretty memorable!
Thanks everyone for all the Birthday wishes!! They made Thursday really
special! My B-day started out pretty great during our District meeting when the Sisters took off running and came back from the kitchen with a cake! Here in
Bolivia there is a sick, messed up tradition of forcing the cumpleañero to stick
his face in the cake. They don't let anyone escape it.
Apart from that we enjoyed some delicious ice cream - mint chocolate chip with chocolate.
It was a fantastic birthday!!
We are working with a lot of teenagers here in Yacuiba, Joel and Fernando both went to church yesterday and are progressing well. We are also teaching Paul, a 16 year old young man who has some friends in the church. We watched the video of the restoration with him the other day and it was super powerful!
Saturday we organized a basketball game at the church. Here in Yacuiba
there is a group of kids that know how to play pretty well and 12 non-members
came to the church Saturday just to play some b-ball. Before the tipoff, we made
a bet. I told them that if they won, we would buy soda for everyone, but if
we won, they would give us 30 minutes of their time this week to teach
them about Jesus Christ.
We have an appointment with them this Tuesday at 6:00.
Sorry I am out of time, but know that I love you all and I am grateful for
each one of you! This is the true Church of Jesus Christ! He loves us and cares
about us! Everything that happens in our lives is because of that love and no
matter what happens we should never doubt that.
Love,
Elder Harris
