Tuesday was Bolivian Independence Day an my ward decided to do a couple of activities to celebrate it. The Relief Society (the women) had an activity where the all brought a bunch of typical Bolivian foods and then assigned 3 people to judge which was the tastiest. I, as an American have a different taste in foods, so the one that I liked the most, didn´t even get 3rd place. The one that I liked the most is Chorizo Chuquisaqueño (Sausage from Chuquisaca) and is what you see in the photo.Also in this week, a sister from my ward left on her mission. She is now in the MTC in Sao Paulo, Brazil and her family is super happy and proud because she is the first missionary in her family.
We should be having 2 baptisms this Saturday (Sabina and Maribel Ziñany). They came to the activity this week as well as church on Sunday.We asked Maribel (18 yrs) how she felt about baptism yesterday, because before, she wasn´t sure if she wanted to get baptized. She said that she definitely wanted to get baptized, but she wasn´t sure when. I felt like I should just be bold and direct with her and said, "Good, if you don´t have any objections then, you are gonna get baptized this Saturday because we can tell that you´re ready." She smiled, accepted and is now super-exited to get baptized Saturday.
I hope that all is going well back in the states and that I can hear from all of you soon, but I hope that all of you know that everything is going great here, the days are flying by super-fast and that I am enjoying every moment that I have with the people of Santa Cruz.
