December 4th Letter - No sè

Hey! So the last few weeks have been pretty normal! We have been looking for a lot of new people! Our problem in the mission right now for us is it is getting difficult to find new people to teach.

So we are working and working every day, contacting, looking for references, and teaching a lot! We are helping a lot in our ward as well! 

This week, we had exchanges with our Zone Leaders, we cleaned up a park in another area of trash! And other than that there wasn't too much out of the ordinary! We have really been walking walking walking!

So one thing about Peru, all of the people here can talk about the food of Peru for hours if they wanted! You just have to tell them it is yummy, don't talk about any specific dish! That is when they start to talk!

Our Ward is having some hard times, we have tons of problems with a lot of the members. A lot of them continue to come to church. It is such a great opportunity to see the faith in the members here! Through all of the hard trials, there are 2 options, which is give up, or keep going strong! And lucky for this ward, we have a lot who continue to do good! And that’s where we come in: on the people who maybe do not have that determination to keep going to church!

My companion is very crazy, and very fun! We are working on focusing a little bit more on our goals, and keeping up the work! 

Christmas will be sad here! They shoot off fireworks like crazy on this side of the mountain! I am in San Juan, and the other side is Comas, more or less.... And this side of the mountain, if I am still here, has fireworks like crazy! I don't know how I feel about that exactly! I am going to go with a member and we are going to give little dolls and toys and hot chocolate to the kids around here! I don't know why we have hot chocolate in the middle of summer, oh well!

Have a fantastic week! Thanks!

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...
