December 4th Letter - No sè

Hey! So the last few weeks have been pretty normal! We have been looking for a lot of new people! Our problem in the mission right now for us is it is getting difficult to find new people to teach.

So we are working and working every day, contacting, looking for references, and teaching a lot! We are helping a lot in our ward as well! 

This week, we had exchanges with our Zone Leaders, we cleaned up a park in another area of trash! And other than that there wasn't too much out of the ordinary! We have really been walking walking walking!

So one thing about Peru, all of the people here can talk about the food of Peru for hours if they wanted! You just have to tell them it is yummy, don't talk about any specific dish! That is when they start to talk!

Our Ward is having some hard times, we have tons of problems with a lot of the members. A lot of them continue to come to church. It is such a great opportunity to see the faith in the members here! Through all of the hard trials, there are 2 options, which is give up, or keep going strong! And lucky for this ward, we have a lot who continue to do good! And that’s where we come in: on the people who maybe do not have that determination to keep going to church!

My companion is very crazy, and very fun! We are working on focusing a little bit more on our goals, and keeping up the work! 

Christmas will be sad here! They shoot off fireworks like crazy on this side of the mountain! I am in San Juan, and the other side is Comas, more or less.... And this side of the mountain, if I am still here, has fireworks like crazy! I don't know how I feel about that exactly! I am going to go with a member and we are going to give little dolls and toys and hot chocolate to the kids around here! I don't know why we have hot chocolate in the middle of summer, oh well!

Have a fantastic week! Thanks!

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.

My First Llama!!!

Wow! This week was definitely Peruvian! I saw my first llama! It was a stylish llama might I add! It was fun! We saw him during our Zone P day, which was a blast! We went to the stake center and played some Fútbol! Yea... I can´t play soccer... Haha! But I´m going to learn. I have to, since even the kids here are crazy good! After playing soccer, we played some Werewolf, which is Mafia, but of course in Spanish. During games, Latinos tend to be really really energetic! I am having a great time! I am totally adjusted! Just, not the language... But you know, little details! It´s amazing to be able to help teach in the lessons, now that I know how to do more than say just my testimony! I do really well at understanding what people are saying...The only problem is when people talk to me! Then I understand nothing! And even less when people ask me how my Spanish is, because I never know if they are saying:    Do you know Spanish good? Your Spanish is really good...

Conference Weekend

Hey everyone!  So not too much happened since last P-Day… We went hiking and overlooked the other half of our mission! There is a huge mountain range, and there are 10ish Zones in our mission, and half are on one side, and we are on the other, with two at the base of the mountain. It was fun to talk and hike! I did miss listening to music while hiking a little bit!  We have been working nice and hard! We have Hermana Ana, who is getting very close to being ready for Baptism! We are building her testimony, and she is so so wonderful! Shandu is also really ready to be baptized! We have permission from his parents, and we still have more to teach! Edu and his family are so wonderful, and Edu is ready, and his parents need just a little bit more time! But all of these people are our baptisms for the 14 of October if everything works out perfect! Conference was so wonderful! I got to watch nearly all of it in English! The people there did not want us to d...
