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!

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...

No Se

Hola todos! So, the first thing I have to say today is that Internet in Peru is not the quickest, or the most reliable! And even worse when the church program doesn't work!  Anyway! We are doing just dandy here in Montenegro 4! We are so high up that the climate literally has changed! We get rain every once in a while, not too much, but enough! It is not too hot, but everyone gets a little sweaty here! It really changes with a gate that leads into this other province!  I forgot everything I have said, so If I repeat I am sorry... We have a member who cooks for us! Almost whatever we want, we end up getting! She loves to bake, try new things, and is such a sweet, amazing lady! She is also mega strict, and has a heart attack every time we do something! She is always stressed out! When we wash the dishes after lunch, she watches us, and if we turn the water on too much she shouts, if we don't turn it off while we are scrubbing, she shouts! If we throw away any sc...

Lima Peru, Here I Come!!!

Sorry for the cheesy title, but I can't wait! I leave this next Monday to head on out to Peru! I leave this Monday at 12:30 AM, so technically Tuesday, but we leave the MTC at 8:00 Monday! I already have my filter water bottle!  This last week has been interesting! It really has all of the sudden turned into week one again! We are going over every part of Preach my Gospel, like we did on week one, and we are learning how to start our first lessons... Like we did on week one! We are learning how to make a plan for a lesson... Like week one... But it's all good stuff! And much more fun now that I can talk in much better Spanish than in week one! That’s probably why we are doing it all over! Haha! We really lucked out on with all of our teachers and leaders at the CCM! Presidente Lyons again has been such an amazing example! His wife has been super sick, and is going into surgery this week. He really appreciates all of the support he gets! He is so busy… he has to help hi...
