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.

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! I am contacting Everyone! We are finding so many new people...
