Hey everyone!

How are you doing?? How did your first days in August go?? I hope that you all had an amazing week and that this week brings you even more happiness and joy! Here in Tupiza, it has been a normal week of work with a couple twists. Early this week, some protesters blocked the main routes from Tupiza to Potosí and to Villazón, so the Elders visiting from Villazón for P-day were trapped for a couple days. They were assigned to work with us and it was great to work with them on Tuesday and part of Wednesday :) We also had an exchange with other Elders and I got to be with a great missionary named Elder Chapman, who is from my group and came here to Bolivia with me. It was so cool to work with him and I loved the experience :) Now, the investigators :) I would like to focus on Jimena and Ismael. I have already mentioned Jimena before, but I just wanted to say that she is amazing and is progressing very well. She accepted a baptismal date and is working hard to find out that this is the true church. She is coming to church and reading the Book of Mormon, so we look forward to seeing her continue and helping her along that path :) Ismael is an awesome teenager that has met with missionaries for many years. We have worked with him for a bit and were happy to see him accept a baptismal date this past week. He is an amazing person that loves learning about Christ and I have loved working with him :) We look forward to helping him with anything that he may need :) Well, now that I have talked a bit about the work here, I would love to share a small thought, so here goes :)

This past week, I have been nearing the end of the Book of Mormon for my first time in Spanish. I have loved studying in another language and am so excited to finish, probably in this next week. As I have studied the book of Moroni, I have grown to really appreciate the second witness that the Book of Mormon brings to the faith in Chist. Having studied the Bible a bit here as well, I have learned to love the witness of Christ that it brings. However, I have realized that it talks very little about the organization of Christ's Church and several key points of doctrine. But, along with the Book of Mormon, any questions quickly become clear. In the book of Moroni, we find the last prophet from the Americas explaining how the church was run. He also explains very key doctrines, like the fact that infant baptisms are not approved of God. And the amazing part: Moroni is only one of the many people that brings clarity to sometimes confusing subjects. As I have studied here, I have realized how grateful I am for the Book of Mormon. This second witness brings amazing clarity to the already amazing book that the Bible is. Now, I testify to you all the necessity of studying BOTH of these amazing books. I promise that if you take the time to DAILY study these books of Holy Scripture that all of your concerns will be resolved and you will find the peace that you are searching for in your life. Study the Bible. Study the Book of Mormon. It will be one of the most life-changing things you ever do. I promise :)

Well, I hope that you guys have great weeks! You are all so amazing and I thank you for all that you do for me :) I will talk to you next week! Love you all!
