Hola Familia,
I am staying in La Paz, and so is my comp. This past week we've sort of been in a funk... my companion has bronchitis, so Wednesday through Saturday we stayed at home unless we had set appointments... Sunday we were about to leave when it started raning, so we stayed at home again. We hope Hna. Madrigal is going to set up an appointment for him soon. But we had a Noche de Grupo with the neighbors (family home evening with others invited) and we watched Fireproof (awesome movie). Jon will recognize some of the people in it because I remember he showed me a video clip of a football movie made by the same church, where the coach was able to get a player to crawl across the football field with another player on his back (I have seen that movie, too).
I don't know if I mentioned it earlier, but about 2 or 3 weeks ago, my comp's dad fell about 10 meters. His kidneys stopped funtioning and he was in a coma for a bit. It's been a bit tough for him (esp. being ill) but I think they found a compatible kidney replacement, so he should find out if the operation went well pretty soon...
Perhaps you guys could find out where Rachel is going to be (area and zone). It looks like it won't be here, (zone San Miguelito) but I would also like to get Johnny Ochs email if that is allowed in his mission...
I'm sorry to hear about Josh getting hurt. I have never gotten to wear a brace or sling... it's a new experience for him. But I hope everything heals well soon without problems. Maybe he will turn out to be a left handed tennis player too!
I hope everyone is progressing in the reading of the Book of Mormon. I finished El Libro de Mormón this past Sunday :P I also finished the New Testament maybe a week or two ago...
The baptism we were going to have is moved to next week, because she (Carmen Cuestas, age 60?) caught the brinchitis (as well as her grandson). So we hope for 2 baptisms for this coming Saturday, her and a sister of a member who just left for his mission in Guatemala...
2 days ago, Saturday we the missionaries and mission leader hosted an activity where a month and a half ago we challenged the members to study the Book of Mormon (in spanish) for the activity where we set up an exam (pretty tough and a bit poorly organized). There were also other activities (eating apples in water, eating hanging donuts...) and the people who showed up really enjoyed it... we were hoping for a lot more people to show up, but I still think it was a success...
I attched a couple videos. I have a bit more time because instead of writing paper letter to Pres. Madrigal, it is by internet on a private mission website.... Anyway, love you all tons, and I wish I had showed it more...
Love, Elder Niendorf
