" This week my companion got jumped when a guy tried to rob him. We were walking and some guy came in between us and put his arm around my companion Elder Cachique. I thought it was some friend of his or something so I just kept walking but when I looked back they were holding each other and trying to fight. A little crowd started to gather. I went up behind the guy and had my arm around his neck choking him trying to pull him off of my companion. Little did I know my companion was just using me to hold him still so he could try to hit him. A third guy came in between them and we finally pulled them apart. He was trying to steal Elder Cachique's little money pouch on his belt. He was pretty mad after, his tie all undone. He was a mess, he tried to go back and find him after lunch but we didn't. Probably a good thing."
I thought it was so funny that Justin thought the guy was his companion's friend so he just kept walking ahead while his companion was actually being robbed! Good thing no one was hurt. I wouldn't find it funny if he was, I promise.
Justin had another baptism last Saturday. It was a boyfriend of a member. His companion was teaching him a few months before but he never wanted to get baptized. But they went to talk with him on Monday and he said he ws ready. He says it went well. His girlfriend's father baptized him. Justin says they also have a lot of other people they are teaching right now.
Justin hasn't heard much about Bolivia but wants to hear any updates. We haven't heard much either. He feels that the thought of going back is wishful thinking. He says that's a "bummer."
He says to everyone...."write me."
