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.

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.

My First Llama!!!

Wow! This week was definitely Peruvian! I saw my first llama! It was a stylish llama might I add! It was fun! We saw him during our Zone P day, which was a blast! We went to the stake center and played some Fútbol! Yea... I can´t play soccer... Haha! But I´m going to learn. I have to, since even the kids here are crazy good! After playing soccer, we played some Werewolf, which is Mafia, but of course in Spanish. During games, Latinos tend to be really really energetic! I am having a great time! I am totally adjusted! Just, not the language... But you know, little details! It´s amazing to be able to help teach in the lessons, now that I know how to do more than say just my testimony! I do really well at understanding what people are saying...The only problem is when people talk to me! Then I understand nothing! And even less when people ask me how my Spanish is, because I never know if they are saying: Do you know Spanish good? Your Spanish is really good...

We need more INCAS!

Hey howdy hey! So this week we started off with another District Monopoly, I didn't win this time... Sadness! But we had some Family home evenings, and it was all great! Then on Tuesday we cleaned up pigeon poop from one of our investigators Abi! We found some baby pigeons, along with one big dead one! But the rest of the week was pretty normal! We spent one whole day knocking on doors, and found maybe 1 person, but we still haven't had an opportunity to teach! Haha! So a lot of people, but not too much success here! I have been drinking Mate! It is the best! It’s an argentine thing, and I am thinking of buying myself a mate! Its super good like a bitter tea, but you can add sugar! We go and drink it with Junior before we have to sleep! It’s a fun way to sit and talk! We had 12 investigators in the church this week! Lots of people needed to attend and didn't! So we have plenty of work! Really it’s just teaching the same lessons, and then helping with...
