Hey everybody, well I'm not in Bolivia yet, I don't know any other news on it. I ended up going with an Elder from my Group so he could do his paperwork and met some Bolivians from other missions. Now everybody has done thep perwork and been interviewed, so we are just waiting for all the paperwork to be finished in Bolivia. I'm just really trying to stay patient and not think about it.Well the work in my area is a bit better, we have a baptism date with a girl named Pamela this week. She told us yesterday she thinks things are moving too fast, so we are going to talk to her tonight to see what her plans are. And we are still working with the girl named Leydi. She is 17, so that is making a lot of problems with getting her married, because her parents live way out in the Jungle. But ya, we are working with them,hopefully Pamela will be baptized b4 I leave, Leydi is going to be a while still. It's getting pretty tough to work out in our area. My comp is pretty ridiculous, he's really upset cuz the President has had him in Lima for most of his mission. So he doesn't want to work. And this weekend my pensh got upset at us, but it wasn't a very big deal, and she even came and apologized to the both of us. But my comp is still mad, and to get back at her he'sdoing a little hunger strike. He's eaten two meals in since Saturday. Our penshs husband came in to our room and called him a little child, it was funny. So I'm doing my best to keep the peace between everybody. Honestly hei s making me look really good right now haha.I am so proud of my convirt Maribel, she is so strong already. The best feeling I have in the mission isn't when I baptize someone, it's when they come the next day to be confirmed. And then after, when they KEEP coming. So, I'm not sure why, but I'm having problems speaking spanish. It's really wierd, I guess I just have to talk more and more.

Love, Elder Wilson
