My exchange with Hna Bolanos

Hey fam!
It sounds like all is well from mom and dad's emails! I love
you all so much and know that I am praying for you! Thanks for all your love
and support.
We had a zone meeting this week and President has but the
theme of being angels. That really as missionaries, we are angles for the
people we are teaching and the members we are serving! This has really helped
me realize what my purpose is and what I need to be focused to do every day.
We've been reading scriptures that talk about when angles have visited people
and our goal is to apply this in our teaching and our purpose. It really is
beautiful and it's helped me learn so much! We all have the opportunity in one
way or another, to be angles for those around us that need help!
All is well here in Colcapirhua. I feel so so blessed! We
have six baptisms planned for this Saturday. I am praying and trying to
strengthen my faith that all will be well and work out! One is named José
Terrasas. He was so excited for his baptism he took the invitations for his
baptism to his family and friends, unfortunately none of them want to support
him--especially his in-laws so his wife is no longer supporting him. He is sad,
but determined to get baptized and has a lot of faith that they will one day
realized the difference in him and have the desire to learn more about the
gospel. He is such a great example for me and I know the Lord has many great
things planned for him. We also have a family and five of them should get
baptized this Saturday as well. They are so great and their little (8 11 15) daughters
are so excited to get baptized! It is beautiful to see how excited they are!
This week I had an intercambio with Hermana Bolaños. It was
fun to be with her again and to have the opportunity to be reminded of how she
teaches. She is such a great example for me and I am so grateful for all I have
learned from her and her friendship! We will definitely be friends forever! It
was so funny... She almost died in my area haha. She isn't a big fan of mud or
animals (especially frogs-there are always tons of tiny frogs guming around. I
think they're cute hahaha).
This is the last week of the transfer! I can't believe how
quickly this transfer has passed! I really hope that Hermana Pérez and I will
be together one more transfer. I feel like we still have so much to learn from
each other and we still need to get better at teaching together. We get along
super well and always have fun even if we have a hard day. I feel so lucky that
she is my companion!
Oh! Last pday we went to the Christ statue. That was fun and
now I can check that off my list! I still have moments where it feels unreal
that I am here in Bolivia. This country is so beautiful and I love it so much!
Have a great week!
Hermana Gardiner
