Beautiful horizon for Mothers Day


Hey everyone!!!

So there have been a lot of changes, and for that reason I have not had too much time to write! But I will start with my new companion, Elder Mejía! From Honduras! We were together in Montenegro, not as companions, but in the same ward! He has 5 months now, and we get along great! 

I am also District leader now! That basically means that I am in charge of my area, and helping 2 or 3 other companionships in their area. So I watch their numbers, verify their baptisms, help them where they need help, go on work visits (Change a companion for a day) and give a little meeting every week that I have to teach/lead. The only thing about that, is that my district is having some problems, and we don't have a lot of new people attending church! So I have been running around doing lots of things, including going to their area to help teach, and invite them to church!

We got a new bishop and ward mission leader in the last 3 weeks, and I have been helping the ward a lot with that! And of course new Elders quorum president! We are going to work more with the ward, and that means more time with them, and organizing activities, days to leave with them, and more references for us!

It was Mothers day yesterday! So fun to talk with my family, and see their happy faces, I hope that everyone was able to have a happy day! Everyone here spent the morning cooking, to eat together, then everyone started drinking and smoking all yesterday..... A little bit different than what I am used to! But we ate a lot of meat! I had for lunch, beef, chicken and pork. Then at night, Beef heart, and Chicken and beef stomach! Beef heart is called Anticucho, and it wasn't too bad. But the other two... Yea... No thanks! Its just hard and gummy!

We have had baptisms, and I don't remember where I left off! We baptized Leo and Andrea, then Valeria, then Josue (Jordi) and this next week we are planning with Jorge! He is super cool! Police officer! He is always with us when he can! 

I am still just chugging away, but more phone calls, leaving areas, doing reports! Leader things! It all happened at the same time! But I will be better with writing a letter!!

Gracias!! Hasta luego!

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...
