0-0 Peru/Argentina

Hey howdy hey everyone!

I have been in the mission for 3 Months!!!

Not too much happened this week! But I will send what I can!

Our investigator, Gabriella Diego (Ana) had her Interview to be baptized! She is so fantastic! It is amazing to see a testimony grow and grow! She started out a little bored in our lessons.  We have seen her desire to be baptized grow, and we are so so ready! She is so fantastic! 

We are working with another family, the Cruz family with Shandu, his brother Shande, and his sister Sasha. Fantastic names! And we are teaching them all at different times! Each one is doing something different, every day, and so we always teach different every time! Shandu is super ready, and Shande is a little less so (he likes his friends a lot so doesn't want to go to church) and Sasha we have only taught once, but is so fantastic at reading and praying every day!

Edu is a fantastic little 11 year old who has the greatest little heart! Its so fun to talk with him! He and his family are great too! But they live just below Rosendo, in the high part of the area Panarama!

The futbol game this week was hilarious! We were teaching one family who doesn't like futbol... Which is really rare here... And we hear explosions of excitement, fireworks, celebrating! Everything! It turns out that Peru didn't loose!! 0-0 It was so funny because it sounded like they totally won everything and were going to mundial (World), but nope! Now they only have one chance, and it is this Tuesday! It is going to be chaos when they don't win! It is life or death here! We won't be able to teach like anyone! Only the few families who don't like futbol! Haha!

I went on Divisions with Elder Huish this week! There are different ways to have a different companion... There are divisions which is missionaries switch companions, splits, which is going with members of the ward, and transfers which is changing companions permanently until the other transfer. Transfers are every 6 weeks! Divisions are for District and Zone leaders to help out the areas and the missionaries. Splits are so you can go to all of your dates, and have member help!

Anyway!

I went with Elder Huish from Washington State to his area, which has the stake center! We went and taught a couple people on Friday, including Hermana Karolight who got baptized on Saturday! Crazy! But we taught and taught, spoke in English all day, learned more, ate food! It was a great day! We got up in the morning and swept, mopped, and polished a hardwood floor (Which was weird to see...) And then cleaned out the Baptismal Font! It was really fun, until the water didn't drain! We cleaned and cleaned, because the bathrooms were a mess, and it turns out there are two drain plugs you need to turn. So we finished everything up, and I went back to my area, taught and ended up going to the baptism! Awesome!

Everything is good here! Its hard to take photos! There is always so much to do! And so much to learn! I am having a great time! And that is probably because I still don't realize I am in Peru! It just feels like everyone changed languages and food! Haha! But it actually is completely different here! So funny!

Anyway! Thanks for reading my letter! We are going to go to the park as a Zone today! Fun fun!! I don't know what else to say so,
See ya!

Go Peru!

Breakfast: Juanes and Hamburgers!



And some fried Banana!

Hamburger was meat, egg, and baby french fries with ketchup and mayo!

The Peruvian Census

This week was fantastic!  We have been working really hard with all of our Fechas! (People with a baptism Date) We have Shandu and Shande, who are really ready! We have been teaching them as much as we can and today they are going to have their interviews! Shandu is only 12, but has the most amazing little spirit! And Shande is 14, and would rather play futbol, but has now learned the importance of the gospel! The two brothers are excited! We are having a problem teaching their sister, Sasha. She is just having a hard, teenage life! Haha! But is 16, and we are trying for the 11th of November to have her baptized! And you can't forget about Edu! I haven't NOT received a hug every time I see him! He is so awesome, and his parents, Rosa and Raúl, were able to go to church yesterday!  The reason that Rosa and Raúl went is because we had church at 6 PM. That is because we had El Censo de Peru! For the Census, everyone had to stay in their house fro...

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...

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...
