Peruvian Peses! (Fishes)

So I am still in Peru!

We have a lot of stuff to do in this area. We have new investigators, but I don't know how long we will know them! So, I won't worry you guys about all of that! Shandu and Shande are impossible to find! Another month! We are talking with their parents more, and Rosa also we have not been able to find! So, this month, not too much success.

Last p-day we went and visited another Area with converts of Elder Caicedo, then came back, and slept! It was fantastic! Today we are going to go to the park again! Not quite as fun as the park my mom is at right now, but there is grass! So I can't complain! Whenever there is grass it is an okay place here! (Mom was in Disney World when this letter was written… Magic Kingdom Park kind of beats out the parks in Peru I guess!)

My companion is from Cali, but not the fornia kind. 😉  He plays Basketball, not a huge fan of Futbol, he makes a lot of jokes, and we do weird weird stuff! Like take this last week for an example! We were really really bored. Every investigator fell through. We had 30 minutes, and had already met with all of the people close to our house, and the big street, Paradero 5. Since we were not hungry, we used the time that we would have eaten, to buy beta fish! Haha! I know, we are the most disobedient missionaries you could meet! But we don't have to do anything with them (low maintenance pet…), and bought everything we needed for 50 soles! (About $15 USD)  So that’s pretty awesome! They are our little mascots! Mine is named Judah and Elder Caicedo's is Eliap.

We got a new list of all of the members in our area, and are trying to meet with them. Our ward is not very united, and we are trying to help with so many members and less actives, that it is very different work! And that also is why we do not have too many baptisms lined up! We are visiting with everyone!


Other than that, we have not done a lot! Just working and working! It is very difficult to write about your week when you only have one day to do it! But thinking about it I have not had a lot to say in my personal journal either! It could be because we are trying some new things out.

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...
