It's end of week three and this weekend I am staying at Gary and Laura Bull's house along with their almost two year old son Nathan. It's been a good week for Spanish and I had many new opportunities to practice my skills. This week Jason (the other guy intern) Jeff (onr of the missionaries) and I decided to see Shrek 3 on monday night. Little did we know that it would be completely in Spanish. Still I got some of the jokes. Tuesday was an off day for me and I could tell that I was missing someone a whole lot but I went to the small group at the church and afterwards out to dinner with Jason and Rachel who I am fast to becoming close friends with. They are just a very fun couple to be around and very good Christian examples. Wednesday I ran into my English student Pablo who proceeded to take me over to the local University in Cochabamba and give me an entire tour of the campus. This he did entirely in Spanish and I understood him and he understood me. It was a lot of fun. After this point I decided to walk around the city by myself since I didn't have to be at the church building till 7:30 to teach English classes. I walked over to the Cine Center (this big movie theatre) and got something to eat and afterwards decided I wanted to take a gander at the local mormon temple. When I got there it was as usual, the workers come up to you and ask you if you have heard of Joseph Smith and the "restored gospel." I told them yes that I had investigated the church. The asked me what my conclusion was and I told them that I believe the Bible is the final Word and final Authority of God. The told me to pray the prayer to know if the church was true and I told them that I had and that God told me that the Latter Day Saints were not Christians. I actually was able to talk with a few about the Christ and having a relationship with him and about the move to restore Biblical Christianity. One of the guys names was Delmer and I invited him to the Gospel meeting we are having in a week. I have had chances to invite taxi drivers I get rides with and others I run into on the street. English class went well that evening and I was able to invite my two students (pablo and Fernando) both catholics to church Sunday and they agreed to come with enthusiasm. We also plan on getting lunch afterwards so we will be able to talk about how they felt about worshipping God with the brothers and sisters. Thursday night I came home early to spend time with my homestay because I felt I had been neglecting them and I hadn't taked time to have dinner with them yet. It was great because my Spanish has improved much and I was able to speak with them and joke with them. I am loving being down here and being able to be immersed in such a different cultural atmosphere. Yesterday I returned to my homestay for a meal called Silpancho which is a traditional Bolivian dish of steak lightly breaded with tomatoe cubes on top and fried eggs and rice. This has to be my favorite traditional dish down here and I hope to have it again soon. After lunch I took a long nap and them went out with Gary to look for lock boxes for the church and contact center. Theft is common down here and everything has to be locked up in some fashion. Other than that we had a special time of singing in Spanish at the church building to practice songs in preparation for the Gospel meeting next weekend. The Aggies for Christ come in on Monday and will be here for a week to door knock, hand out flyers and work on other projects. It will be a very busy and exciting week and please pray that we reach many with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Well I am off and will be getting ready for church tomorrow. Adios amigos!
