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!



Taylor wants his Cousin Peter to know he has FINALLY figured out how to solve a rubix cube.

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..."

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...
