Peruvian Peses! (Fishes)

So I am still in Peru!

We have a lot of stuff to do in this area. We have new investigators, but I don't know how long we will know them! So, I won't worry you guys about all of that! Shandu and Shande are impossible to find! Another month! We are talking with their parents more, and Rosa also we have not been able to find! So, this month, not too much success.

Last p-day we went and visited another Area with converts of Elder Caicedo, then came back, and slept! It was fantastic! Today we are going to go to the park again! Not quite as fun as the park my mom is at right now, but there is grass! So I can't complain! Whenever there is grass it is an okay place here! (Mom was in Disney World when this letter was written… Magic Kingdom Park kind of beats out the parks in Peru I guess!)

My companion is from Cali, but not the fornia kind. 😉  He plays Basketball, not a huge fan of Futbol, he makes a lot of jokes, and we do weird weird stuff! Like take this last week for an example! We were really really bored. Every investigator fell through. We had 30 minutes, and had already met with all of the people close to our house, and the big street, Paradero 5. Since we were not hungry, we used the time that we would have eaten, to buy beta fish! Haha! I know, we are the most disobedient missionaries you could meet! But we don't have to do anything with them (low maintenance pet…), and bought everything we needed for 50 soles! (About $15 USD)  So that’s pretty awesome! They are our little mascots! Mine is named Judah and Elder Caicedo's is Eliap.

We got a new list of all of the members in our area, and are trying to meet with them. Our ward is not very united, and we are trying to help with so many members and less actives, that it is very different work! And that also is why we do not have too many baptisms lined up! We are visiting with everyone!


Other than that, we have not done a lot! Just working and working! It is very difficult to write about your week when you only have one day to do it! But thinking about it I have not had a lot to say in my personal journal either! It could be because we are trying some new things out.

No Time

Elder Ball didn't have very much time to email today.  They changed a form that they need to do their reports on, and it took him a lot longer than expected to get through it. But! I have pictures! He is doing great! He loves his companion, they are working hard, and he is very excited that it is December!  Lot's of service projects this month and he is looking forward to that! He is headed to the hospital today so they can (hopefully) remove some warts that have grown on his hands while there.  He has tried about everything to get them gone... He first showed them to me on MOTHERS DAY so, I think it's time they get taken care of! He is happy!  And that makes ME happy.

Que Pasa?

Hola Amigos! Como van todo? So this week was just dandy! I have been working hard, and learning a lot! For P-Day last week, we went to a park down in Metro! It was fun, we cooked hamburgers, played some Futbol, some frisbee, talked, and just had a good time! We have new people from this last transfer, and the new gringos! Its funny how Amazing they think I am, and then they realize I only have 6 weeks on them! haha! They are also from the Mexico MTC! They are fun, but I still like my group! Anyway! We had a baptism this week! Gabriela Diego! She is so wonderful, and it was a special day! Then yesterday, she was only 20 min. late to go to her confirmation! haha! That was kind of funny! But it all worked out! We were able to see her transformation, and her desire to rely on Christ. I went on a Work Transfer, or exchanges with Elder Seymour. He is one of the new Americans from Indiana! This meant we had to teach with my little experience, and his less experience! It was p...

Mini-Misión

Hola Todos! This week we just finished it off with a baptism! Jorge Sifuentes! He is super awesome! He is willing to help out everyone! I’ts the cousin of Lesly, who was baptized over a month ago! We didn't have water in our ward, so we went to the other ward! It was all smooth, and as usual, we were an hour late! Peruvian time! It was great even though our ward mission leader is new, and starts to organize a million things at the same time - it all went pretty smoothly! We have a new leader, bishop, and elders quorum president! So we are going to try and use that more in our area!  This week we also did an awesome activity with the ward San Felipe! All of the youth got together Friday night and did a mini CCM and Saturday they left with us 2 by 2. We went and visited as normal, and the two kids we were with were super cool! We went with Miguel and Joseph! We contacted, asked for references, and it was super fun! They are only 14 and 12, but supe...
