I Moved!


Elder Ball hasn't been very good at writing a group email, but he DID send a bunch of photos this week.  Here are a few things he told me when I asked him about some of the photos during our (brief) email conversation today.  :)

I got transferred back in my old zone, Wiesse.  The Same zone as Montenegro where Mama Tuyume is! (In her same Stake.)  I am in CasaBlanca! White House! HA!  CasaBlanca is freaking more hills than anything else.  Like, my area is literally 4 hills, up and down, up and down.  And it all moves UP.  I love the hills! They are the best! But, the flat area was kind of heaven while I was there.

My companion is Elder Delgado from Ecuador. I knew him in my second change and third!We share a ward with Elder Jardine, who took my place with Elder Caicedo, and Elder Cruz from Honduras, who only has 12 weeks left.

The little girl in the photos is Julieta, the daughter of my convert, Norma.

The story about the boxes that say Habla Causa:  It’s a slang here in Peru and it means “Talk Dude!”  (Hablar: to talk, Causa is slang for dude, bro, amigo).  It’s an Inca Cola thing… all of the inca colas had a campaign that said that.

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...

Changes!

Hey everyone! I am still here in the Desert! Still alive! I had changes this last Tuesday, and I am with Elder Rodriguez! He is super cool! He was studying Marine Biology in the Marines before he came here! He likes to contact, and teaches super super good! And he only has 5 Months in the mission! I have a lot to learn from him! We have TONS of Investigators! Right now we are working with a young couple Erika and Paul, who have not gone to church in a little while. Also Michelle and Jocelyn whose mom has a whole bunch of problems! Brian who came out of nowhere! His girlfriend is member, and he wants to get baptized, has read half of Nephi, knows almost all of the lessons and so we are almost completely ready with him! And of course the other 14 new people we find every week, and all of the less actives there are to visit, so we are doing Family Home Evenings with the Members!  Full Chamba!
