Well a big hello from Bolivia to my peeps out there, Que tal, Que tal! Como esta! ¡Que dice America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I walked in our internet place this morning only to find out that everyone was sitting with somebody new. Why didn´t anyone tell me that transfers had happened!?!? Apparently they were last week and my companion and I are together for another month and a half. That´s the bad part about not having a cell phone nor a regular phone in our house that works (freaking elders in the offices). We´re in the middle of nowhere,,,,...,.,.,. hellooo...,.,. This week we had some pretty cool experiences in my area. For example, last monday after p-day, it was dark out about 8:00. We went to a family/investigators who we usually teach. We were teaching about the Plan of Salvation. They had questions about the devil/Satan. Even though I really don´t like talking about him, I explained the reality of him, etc. But I finished saying that we have power over them because we have a body. Then directly after I finished my sentence, phooom. The power went off in the house and it was pitch dark. That was a little scary and the wrong time to say that. I asked if that usually happens. We kinda laughed afterwards because nothing really happened, the whole part of town went out too. It was just crazy. The week ended great with our church meetings. We had 8 investigators come and the church was the fullest I´ve seen it since arriving here. And a part from that, it was the best and most spiritual meeting that I´ve been to in a while. The whole branch felt like a family. Our investigators had a great experience and everything. As we walked on of our investigators and her family home, we asked her how she felt about our church. She told us that it has been something that she´s been looking for. I know she knows it´s true and that she felt something because I definitely could as well. Even though this area hasn´t seen a baptism (like 3 in the past year) in a long time and those that were baptized are now inactive, I know that the miracles are only starting to begin in this area. Have miracles ceased? Or have we just lost faith? Has God stopped talking to man? Could he be an unchangeable being? I say unto you, NAAAAY! For God is an unchangeable being; he is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If it were not so, He would cease to be God. I know that he is a God of miracles and if these things have ceased, it is because of unbelief. Only by faith are miracles wrought. Sometimes, areas like mine haven´t seen much happen in a while. But certain missionaries can come along and see with an eye of faith how an area like this can improve. They have the assurance of the things to come and put their trust in God. Then they get to work. And after the trial of their faith, they can see the evidence of the miracles that God has put forth. Fight the good fight, don´t give up the faith -Elder Walker
