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!

Hey! We had another Baptism!!! Celeste Lopez! One of the quickest baptisms I have seen! We found her I believe 2 weeks ago and is the best! She is the daughter of a less active member! She had already read up until Alma, and knew all of the Plan of Salvation! So we taught her the commandments, she attended church, and was baptized this Saturday!! And it is a little bit of a miracle, because they are finishing Vacations, and now they have 0 time to talk to us! They are completely busy! So it was basically her time for the lessons, and to get baptized!  Before the baptism at 7, (8:30 Peruvian Time). At 4 we ended up at a service project with the Elders quorum! We destroyed a rock wall behind a house and had to carry the rocks/Dirt in buckets. Then we all took turns with a sledge hammer at a big rock in the middle that the Jackhammer couldn't touch. But we left to try and teach someone, and then right to our baptism! But it was great! Last P day, we just ate at a Mexican Peru...

Hola todos! So, the first thing I have to say today is that Internet in Peru is not the quickest, or the most reliable! And even worse when the church program doesn't work!  Anyway! We are doing just dandy here in Montenegro 4! We are so high up that the climate literally has changed! We get rain every once in a while, not too much, but enough! It is not too hot, but everyone gets a little sweaty here! It really changes with a gate that leads into this other province!  I forgot everything I have said, so If I repeat I am sorry... We have a member who cooks for us! Almost whatever we want, we end up getting! She loves to bake, try new things, and is such a sweet, amazing lady! She is also mega strict, and has a heart attack every time we do something! She is always stressed out! When we wash the dishes after lunch, she watches us, and if we turn the water on too much she shouts, if we don't turn it off while we are scrubbing, she shouts! If we throw away any sc...

Hey everyone!!! These two weeks in Casablanca are super great! We have a ton of investigators, members to help, and our ward is pretty nice! The only problem is, it is placed on 4 large hills! well... 6 I believe, but I have the 4!  There is a long road that leads up to nowhere, and the right side is mine, and we split the other side for the other two elders, Jardine and Cruz! I am here with Elder Delgado! From Manta Ecuador! I saw him in my first area for 2 transfers, and already know him a little bit!  I am not District leader anymore, I kind of didn't want to this last transfer, it got super super hard! My district had a lot of problems! And I didn't know how to handle it! But I did learn a TON! And I was able to see Elder Godoy from the 70 in a training, so at least I was a leader to listen to him! He came and basically said, wow! You guys are the best mission in the world! And then we asked questions for 2 hours.... It wasn't really a training more of a motiv...
