December 11th Letter - PeRu

So! Buenos dias Todos!

This week was great! We had been preparing for lots and lots of time for a ward activity! The Noche de Colores! We had it! Us and 40 people were running potato sack races, eating contests, dodgeball, balloons! Everything! It was fantastic! We had a great time, but no one was ready with their games. We asked each of the organizations to form the game and we could help organize it, but they thought we were going to do their games for them! I was running around getting everything ready, and Elder Caicedo was announcing, shouting, and helping form the people into teams! The sisters were shopping... For food! But still... Haha! 

We got a new bishop in our ward, and his name is Juan Jesus Caller! This guy is the funniest person you could meet! His laugh is more annoying than goofy, and it is LOUD! He is always making jokes, he has big glasses, some skinny weirdo! He is going to be fantastic! He is a guy you need to talk to! I hope this ward stays alive! haha! 

We are working with lots of people, but we do have one man who is progressing really really quickly! His name is Marcos Rivera! He is a gordito, who really loves the messages we share and to go to church! He is just a happy guy! But hard to find! He works a lot, and doesn't have a schedule. It is so wonderful! I don't like to talk about the investigators too much, because we have at least 7 new people we are teaching every week, and they don't always progress! And I will get mega confused if people start asking about them! haha!

The little things I have been missing this week:
Grass
Google in my pocket ( I have a hundred questions every day!)
Snow
Driving a car
No stray dogs

That’s it! Other than that I am just happy! But grass and snow... I know those are not at the same time of the year, but I just want to roll around in the two of them! Enjoy it! 

Talk to you next week!

Hasta Luego!

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...

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...

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.
