IT'S GETTING A LITTLE EASIER!

Hello family!
Doing very well! About my companion... Turns out he had a bad experince with a gringo companion awhile ago. But he sees now that I work hard, and now he knows that not all of us white people are the same. But he still doesn´t like me, and said he would try to tolerate me. All is well. It´s still hard to get him motivated, but we were able to do some remarkable things these last couple weeks! Last week we committed a family to baptism. It was awesome for me because I actually got to see the change for myself. We found them walking in the street, and it turns out that the husband is an inactive member. We activated them all, and they want to be baptized! But we are only baptizing the mother, the other children are too young, but I can tell that they have fast developing testimonies. And they love going to primary. The date is April 28th, and she personally asked me to baptize her! I´m really excited.
Nothing too crazy happened this week. But I have a word for my friends, especially Bronwyn. Get my phone and text her these exact words, "you can write me all the letters you want, but I can only get them every four to six weeks and I cannot write back. If you want to write me, send me an email. I can always respond to your emails." Thank you. Also thanks for the package. All my favorite things (minus devilled eggs) in a package. I am able to get packages and am soooo grateful for them! But I only get them every 4 to 6 weeks. So thank you!!

The other day the Bogotá MTC sent some missionaries out to try out the mission field. I was put with a peruvian. He was very excited. Perhaps a bit too excited. He couldn´t stop skipping when we walked, and I have never ever been helped to cross the street. It was a rather interesting day...
I´m sending a bunch of pictures. I hope you get them all. Some are from my last days in the MTC and the rest of Bogotá. And I just asked my companion what our street address was, and he doesn´t remember. So sorry!
I love you all and I sure hope you all have a lovely week. I appreciate your prayers and emails.
Love you all so much! Take care!
