Perú again


Hey howdy hey!

So we had another baptism this Saturday! Yaquibel Santos Villanueva! (Her middle name is too hard to remember....) She gave the most wonderful testimony yesterday, but everyone was talking about my companion and I because she said " And I am so grateful for the two elders that baptized me, Elder Carrasco, and Elder Ball, who I don't know where they are, but thanks!" It like put us on the spot, and everyone started talking! It was just funny!

I hear so much music in this area! I am getting fluent with my reggaeton, Baladas and criolla, and of course Huayno!
Reggaetonis like rap, then baladas, Ballads, and then Huayno is just shouting peruvian with the same 4 instruments... I don't recommend it one bit! But EVERYONE listens to it, if they like it or not! It plays in the bus, the mototaxi, and sometimes just in the middle of nowhere a house starts playing it as loud as they can!  But I also hear a lot of English hits! I hear a little Taylor Swift, ABBA, Aerosmith, Bonnie Tyler, Bruno Mars! Ha! They have some of the songs memorized in English, they just have no clue what they are saying!

Some Elders from the ward were changed, Elders Mcwhorter, Martinez, and Ramos... We now have Cloward, Lunt and Asturizaga! Asturizaga is brand new from Bolivia! 

We keep finding new people, and still have to take a bus from one investigator to the other! We haven't been using as much water, since we are going to go poor if we use too much! 

We are going to the temple this week! I will be sure to take pictures! And I am going to buy the mini spanish Quad so I don't have to haul around the bible anymore! That bible kills me! I take it out some days, and just hope we don't have to use it!

We are working with a family, who we are still working on their testimony, and they will be all set to go! It is pure girls, and gets crazy! But we are working with Tania, Sophia, Alexandra, Elise, and Daniella! 16, 12, 12, 50, and 9! They are super fun, and their mom is a member! So that helps a lot, and we are doing well with them so far! They also have a lot of References for us, so Bonus!!

Anyway! Everything all good here! I had cheesecake the other day! Strawberry ice-cream last night! I am eating well, still just loosing a lot of weight! That is another fantastic thing! 


Thank you! Hasta Luego!






























Elder Ball is not a fan of the pig smell.  He told me that going to the State Fair won't be 
a problem from now on comparitivly... haha!

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
