Casablanca again!


Another week here in Casablanca! We have been working hard, but slowly our investigators slipped out of our hands this week!

We had one baptism this last Saturday - Johnathan Castro! He is super funny! Super weird! He almost didn't get baptized because he didn't like that the baptismal clothing was too big! He is great!

We had a lot of lunches fall through this week and ate chicken 4 times! Haha! But I continue to lose weight! That would be because of the crazy marathon we do every day starting up high, going down my area, and returning almost every day! It is super crazy workout!

My area is normal for San Juan de Lurigancho! Hills, dogs and dust! Nothing too strange!! But at least I have water this time! It’s all really really normal now, and I don't know how I am going to react when I get home! I am going to feel RICH!!

Everything is cool! Our ward is trying to get together more, and there are 0 activities! So we are working on doing that! We need to help the ward out because there are like 8 converts out of 40 that are still attending from this last year. All of the converts go inactive after 3 months!! So we have to help them find friends, and keep the ward busy!  The problem is we can't even meet with some of the recent converts! They have no time, not even on Sunday!

Well, this week I am going to complete a year in the mission! It has passed by SSSOOO fast! I can't believe it! I am super happy and can't wait to see what we do this month! And of course the next 11 months! 

Anyway! Thank you so much! Talk to you next week!

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...
