November

4 weeks go by fast in the mission, but 4 months! I can't believe it!

We have been working hard, and doing all we can!

Honestly nothing happened this week! We have just been chugging away!

For P-day this morning, we played some futbol with our zone, and we did that last week too! It is almost as if I am in South America or something! But, it’s fun!

We have transfers coming up this night, and you will get to hear about it next week! I hope I stay in my same area! I love teaching these people, and It is going to be hard to leave!

Our two baptisms that didn’t happen: we haven’t had a good talk with them. Elder Mendez claims they are ready, but we are going to work with them! We just need time and to talk with their parents a little bit more! I want them to really be ready.

We have been doing a lot of divisions with members, and it has been super awesome! We leave with jovenes  (young boys) and adults!


This is going to be a sad email, but this keyboard doesn't work and the internet is mega slow! But thank you for reading, and I hope you all have a fantastic week!


Notes from Mom:  
The computer issues this week were brutal. We usually have a good email conversation back and forth, but the internet just wouldn't cooperate. That and his keyboard wouldn't type some of the letters a lot of the time.  

I heard from the sweet lady he stays with, and he has a new companion! He is staying in the same place, which we are super happy about. He just didn't feel like he was finished with what he was there to do, so this is good news.  Plus, we LOVE Mama Luz and the updates she sends me... so I at least have that through Christmas. HA!

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...

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...
