New Years!

Wow! What hasn't happened! 

So we are opening an area in the Zone Wisse called Montenegro 4! They just opened up the ward this last year, and there are a decent chunk of people who go! However, the area is HUGE! So it is split into 4 areas, which means there are 8 missionaries in our ward! Elders Martinez (California, but Mexican family) Mejia (Honduras, new) Ramos(Peru, Chimbote), Campbell (Idaho, Native American family) Anocona(Columbia), McWhorter(Arkansas, super tall!)  and My companion Carrasco! He is also from Chimbote! He has 20 months in the mission, and was companions with Martinez and Ramos before! Haha! He is District leader!

So our area is straight out of Star Wars! We have Nueva Esperanza, (New hope) MediaLuna(Half moon) and weird names like Rinconada and Palomar!  I am also 10 minutes from Bethlehem! (Belén)  There are like 2 members in each one of these areas, but they are super big! Just counting, in our area, you could put like 5 more companionships in our area, and on the other side with Elders Anacona and McWhorter, it is even bigger! We are technically not in Lima, We are in San Antonio de Jicamarca. 

We are looking for more and more people to teach and to start this year off great! The mission stats are awesome! Only Lima Peru North was able to baptize and confirm 1,582 People! We are working really hard to get that number up even higher!

We also have the opportunity to have someone to cook for us! Her name is Hermana Tuyume! She is so fantastic! 


Yea! I have to go because we are in this internet only quick! No one works today and we are with a member so Bye until next week!

I asked him about this photo, and this is my answer:
"The people always have pictures of grandpa! It was a keychain our landlord has! to open beer of course..."

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!  You

Hey! We had another Baptism!!! Celeste Lopez! One of the quickest baptisms I have seen! We found her I believe 2 weeks ago and is the best! She is the daughter of a less active member! She had already read up until Alma, and knew all of the Plan of Salvation! So we taught her the commandments, she attended church, and was baptized this Saturday!! And it is a little bit of a miracle, because they are finishing Vacations, and now they have 0 time to talk to us! They are completely busy! So it was basically her time for the lessons, and to get baptized!  Before the baptism at 7, (8:30 Peruvian Time). At 4 we ended up at a service project with the Elders quorum! We destroyed a rock wall behind a house and had to carry the rocks/Dirt in buckets. Then we all took turns with a sledge hammer at a big rock in the middle that the Jackhammer couldn't touch. But we left to try and teach someone, and then right to our baptism! But it was great! Last P day, we just ate at a Mexican Peru

Hola todos! So, the first thing I have to say today is that Internet in Peru is not the quickest, or the most reliable! And even worse when the church program doesn't work!  Anyway! We are doing just dandy here in Montenegro 4! We are so high up that the climate literally has changed! We get rain every once in a while, not too much, but enough! It is not too hot, but everyone gets a little sweaty here! It really changes with a gate that leads into this other province!  I forgot everything I have said, so If I repeat I am sorry... We have a member who cooks for us! Almost whatever we want, we end up getting! She loves to bake, try new things, and is such a sweet, amazing lady! She is also mega strict, and has a heart attack every time we do something! She is always stressed out! When we wash the dishes after lunch, she watches us, and if we turn the water on too much she shouts, if we don't turn it off while we are scrubbing, she shouts! If we throw away any scr
