Hey!!! wazzzuppp?!! 

Yeah so, this week was awesome!! Well there were some downsides but for the most part it was pretty awesome!! So we had a world training for missionaries only from the Elder Oaks and Elder Anderson and some other general authorities!! It was awesome!! We learned a lot from them on how to teach people. A lot of it was from Preach my Gospel too. It was all good stuff there. 

We went to the doctor. But don't worry, it wasn't for me. It was for my comp, He has been having back problems so we went to check it out. We went to 2 doctors. The first one said he thought it was Kidneys the 2nd said he thought it was muscles....... so he is going to take a test to make sure it isn't kidneys. That'll be Wednesday. It kinda stinks because we have to rest a bit in the pench and we cant do much proselyting, but we got to get him healthy first so we can get back to work full time :) 

We had an awesome activity this last Saturday!! I didn't take my camera but there was another person there who had a camera so we will see if I cant get those photos!! It was an activity that had a spiritual thought and some games. We did girls doing guy games and guys doing girls games. so girls had to play the soccer on the playstation, and tie a tie. They were going to do arm wrestles but we didn't have time. The guys sewed buttons, changed diapers and were going to have to braid hair but we didn't have time for that one either. Oh, we also made chori pan! Chorizo sandwhich (chorizo,lettuce,tomato, mayo on bread) It was way fun!! Then the next day we had a ward council (first time in a long time) and they all talked about how they were unified by this activity and they want to do more activities like this so we can be a more unified group. Also the Leaders want to meet up at least 2 times every month to become more unified. And they want to go to the temple at the end of the year as a ward!!! So yea, that was awesome!!! Happy weekend :) 

It's amazing how the Lord can bless us when we put a little work in. We didn't think that this activity would help animate the bario to do the things they are doing now. Just a Bolivian, American, and a crazy Argentine ward mission leader throwing an activity together and it worked out amazingly. When you put in the work the Lord always does his part. I hope you guys know that and can see that in your lives too. If not, get to work and you'll see it!!!! hahaha. 

Love you guys and hope you have an awesome week!!

Con amor,

Elder Hakes
