This week was an absolute BLAST! We were helping out other sisters the whole week so there were other sisters with us all week except yesterday and today. Today we went to some really cool water falls which was SUPËR cool. (She said it was a 5 1/2 hour hike but it was soo worth it!)
The picture is to show how far they went. In the picture you can see the cloud layer. She said that is where the waterfall was.
This picture she sent to show how lush it is. She said that it isn't that way in Cochabamba but only as you get out into the jungle.
Spiritual experience this week: We were teaching about the restoration and i was sharing my testimony about the Book of Mormon, and I felt the spirit SO SO SO strongly. I almost cried, and that doesn´t happen a lot. It reaffirmed to me that testimony of the truth of the Book of Mormon. I know the Book of Mormon is true, and that whoever wants to know its true and asks God, they can know :)
Sorry out of time. Lots of love and Sunshine from Cochabamba!!
Hermana Rowe
This is a picture from the first week of her mission in this area
This was taken this week
We got to talk to her (she could see us but the computer at the internet cafe didn't have a camera so we couldn't see her... but she sent us a picture:) ) for an hour and it was heaven!
It was great to get questions answered on the spot. She and Jacob got to converse in Spanish for a while and she seemed more comfortable with that. It was harder for her to find words in English, She loves her new companion. In her new capacity as Sister Training Leader she has a lot of opportunity to help and be an example to other sister missionaries. They go on exchanges (intercambios) a lot with the other sisters. There are apparently 4 sets of STLs in the mission. So she and her companion have responsibility for about 1/4 of the sister missionaries. She loves her new area. She spent her first week in the mission in this area because when she got to Bolivia the airports were shut down because of civil unrest. She said it is very hilly and she loves it. This new communication policy with missionaries is so wonderful. As we get used to having more personal contact with her I am sure our weekly visits will change a little but yesterday felt like Christmas all over again but better! It was great to talk to her and hear her enthusiasm and love for Bolivia!
She tried this fruit this week. It is called rambautan here (I only know because I have a friend who likes them... Thank you MaryAnn) but she couldn't remember the Bolivian name. She really liked it.
