Biggest Whirlwind of Emotions - Dec 17, 2018

So I really don´t have time this week, so i´ll try to make this quick. 

This week has been FULL of rehearsals for different things. We´ve had rehearsals for the ward choir (since they are doing a special number next week, and I´m playing piano for them) and the zone has been practicing a lot for the zone conference this week. That one has got me super frustrated because there is no organization, everyone wants to do their own idea, and they don´t really want to keep things spiritual either (kinda sad, but it is what it is.) So this week I was a little frustrated about those, but at least the conference is this coming week, so i won´t have to worry about that anymore. 

We got stuck in our elevator for 45 minutes on Friday! We had just gotten some baptismal clothes from our zone leader, and when we were going up, it made a loud clunking sound and stopped working!! So we tried pressing all the buttons, but nothing worked. we tried opening the door, but that didn´t work. luckily we had the phone, because we called our zone leader, and they talked to some people to try to help get us out. I was alright, but hermana Muñoz was freaking out a little bit, so the zone leaders chilled out to try to calm her down from the outside. We said a prayer. We kept waiting for someone to open the door, and we were both a little worried because we had a baptism at 7, and it was 6:30 and we were still in the elevator!! Hermana Muñoz made kinda like a last ditch effort to open the door, and it slid right open! It was really a miracle. AND! We made it on time to the baptism, and it was beautiful! Jhenifer told us that she is really happy that she did it, and that she knows the church is true and all that good stuff! I think she is planning on going to the temple in the next few weeks, so that is super awesome!! We are so happy for her.

On Saturday night we did a service activity with the ward where we went to some of the plazas and gave out api, bread, clothes and other little bags of food. It was kinda fun. I´ll have to describe it a little more with the fam when we skype. All I have to say is that drunk Bolivians like gringas (aka me).

Today was a fun p day because we went to some cabanas to play pool, ping pong, soccer, volley, stuff like that. It was fun :) I´ll send pictures of how we traveled there haha! (looks like it was in the back of a truck...?)

Love you all so very much! I hope you all have a very merry week leading up to Christmas!!
