A little bit of Arequipa

Transfers!!!

I am staying here in Casablanca, but Elder Delgado left! I have a new companion from Peru, a place called Arequipa! The Texas of Peru! It;s pretty awesome! He is great, loves questions, and is really easily distracted!

We have been doing great in our area so far, getting better every day! We are working with Alberto and Patricia! We are going to put in their papers to get married this Tuesday, and we will have to wait 3 weeks for the paperwork to go through!!!

We found Gabby, a normal Peruvian! haha! But she is working to get baptized this month! We had 9 people in the church, but everyone needs to get married... So it was kind of sad for our numbers, even though we have been working hard!

We never know what we are going to do here! Something weird always happens! We have been planning a dance for this last Wednesday! It was awesome! In the end, all of the Relief Society couldn't help prepare food! So we basically wasted a whole day of missionary work to prepare all of the snacks for the dance! We cut cheese and hotdogs to put on sticks, made Little Causas, Tequeños, Fruit, marshmallows on sticks! Everything! Then we hired a bus to take us to the church, and luckily 3 people were decorating the ward building. We had to set everything up, organize the Clown that came (who is a member, Miguel, from another ward!) We ended up talking to the investigators that came! It was a whole bunch of work

This week we are going to look for people like madness! We are going to have a whole bunch of new people, to try and prepare them for the end of this month! My companion likes a whole bunch of new people!

Well, I am still happy, working hard! Loving what I am doing! And am growing every week, every day! I am finding some great friends, great companions, and having great experiences!!!

I hope everyone stays happy! See 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.

Hello!

This week was just dandy!! We found a lot more investigators this week! Especially since we only had 2 last week... but 11 is a much better number. We have a lot of new people, but not a lot that want to progress. One of our investigators is Ana, whose real name is Gabriella. (I only sing high school musical sometimes in her house under my breath!) But she is fantastic! She is a reference from Mama Luz, who owns our house we live in. Mama Luz is not a member, but helps teach our lessons! Ana is very interested in all of what we have to say, and really wants to be baptized! We have 3 Teenagers who I feel are going to be baptized! One is a brother of an Inactive member, and he loves church on Sunday! Edu! Funny little 11 year old kid! The other two are brothers, Marcos and Shandu! Shandu really wants to be baptized, and Marcos only half listens, but with time, he will be great! We may find 11 people in a week, but a lot of them don't stick with us. They h...

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...
