We are going into a Bolivian Winter right now. It has been getting down to the Low 40's and it is so cold here because no one has insulation in their house. I wake up every day and I can see my breath in the morning. I love it and at the same time I hate it.
These next few weeks are going to be critical.
Here in the Branch we are trying to get the Chapel built. And we needed more people attending church to get it. So for two days, President Willard, the Santa Cruz Mission President, sent five more missionaries to help us in the work. The Branch is getting ready for some huge numbers. We got 161 people coming to church this last Sunday. And we need to get at least 180. This week is going to be so important.

In other words, everything is going good.
I hope everyone has a great week!
Scripture of the Week:
Mosiah 3:5-8
For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.
And he shall cast out devils, or the evil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men.
And lo, he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people.
And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
