Las Casuarinas

Hey! 

So I am back in San Felipe Stake! I started in San Juan de Lurigancho, In Canto Grande, Then to Wiesse, then San Felipe (Comas), Back to Wiesse, and now back to San Felipe! Ping pong from one end of the mission to the other! Haha!

Well, I am with another Peruvian, Elder Castillo from Talara, almost Ecuador! He was born in the church, and is super weird! Haha! Sometimes just nobody understands him, and stares for a minute.... But we are doing fine together! He has to show me around the new area, and we have a HUGE area again.... not quite as big as Montenegro with all of the pigs, but we still have to take a bus one investigator to the next!

My area is Las Casuarinas, which means nothing...Haha! Usually they mean something, but no one knows about this name! It is the third zone of Collique until the ninth! That means a lot! Haha! We don't have very many progressing investigators, and this week, like always we are going to look for a whole bunch of new people! Time to contact! 

The past few weeks has been trying to find all of the investigators, and getting to know the members! So far everything is great, but the majority of the appointments fall through! I am already used to that! Haha! 

We had a special visit this last Saturday, well two! President Nelson came to speak to all of the missionaries of Northwest South America! (East was the only one left out, sorry east!) We were in a chapel with over 450 missionaries, so we didn't shake any hands! Elder Stevenson came as well, with Elder Falavella, with all of his councilors. There were over 5,000 missionaries listening! He spoke mainly of 3 Nephi, and the importance of the words of Jesus to the Nephites. And comparing the New Testament with the Book of Mormon. Talked a lot of the gathering of israel, and that this land is chosen above other lands. So we need to help these decedents of Joseph to receive the promised blessings! It was awesome!!!

Then our Prophet talked with all of Peru! And spoke in Spanish! Which was also cool! And so we had a day off Saturday! Only 3 teaching hours, the whole day was transportation and conference!!!

Well, we might have a baptism of a young man this Saturday, whose name is Eloin. Haha! We will see!

But that was the most important that happened! October went by super fast! 

Thank you!

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...
