Trials

We heard from Kolt today. This weeks been a little rough on him poor kid.  Many of his baptisms have fell through the past week,  and isn't looking to bright for the future. For the next couple weeks anyway. Which is really wearing on him since he says him and his companion are working so extremely hard. Of course he's extremely bright in thinking of the future. Kolt expresses that he knows the Lord will provide and lead them to the people that are ready to accept the gospel. He says it's pretty dang hot right now, but is enjoying sleeping his new hammock that his old companion gave him. Which also new news. Kolt has received a new companion who he's really gets along with his names Elder Ibarra. They seem to work extremely well together.

Almost 6 months!!

It is crazy to think Kolt has almost been on his mission for 6 months! 1 1/2 years to go!!! Kolt is doing absolutely amazing!! He has baptized and helped so many people and especially families. Good news Kolt FINALLY recieved our Christmas packages. We were so worried the packages were stollen. Here is a pic of Landon and I's Chrismas present to Kolt :) We thought he needed a little piece of home. Kolt and I spent MANY of our days team roping growing up, and Kolt is an absolute pro roper. We thought he'd like this :)

a minature roping dummy!! Of course Kolt's healing :) What a stud muffin!
We actually had a little scare with Kolt. New Years his companion and him were out tracting. They were on the street talking to a woman. Kolt said her eyes got very very large looking past them. They turned around right as a small bomb was thrown and landed right in the middle of the 2 boys. They weren't injured other then some very minor burns and hearing loss for a couple days. Count your many blessings :).
Kolt has also had the opportunity to try many new foods. This is a pic of him eating turtle soup. He said it was actually pretty good.


In Kolt last letter he told us that he went in for an interview to the assistant presidents who called him "Elder Piquet who is loved so much" because Kolt had recieved so many letters and packages within the last couple weeks. Ha I just thought THAT'S right he is extremely LOVED :) More than he'll ever know!

Here's just a few more pics he emailed me :)! P.S. Isn't he getting SO tan!!!



Kolt asked me to tell everyone thank you so much for all your prayers and support!
