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 scrap of food, it's the scariest thing! haha! She is so sweet, but with a random shouty stressed out face after! And she is so specific! Everything HAS to be in order! She doesn't let me put salt on my food, because she says I use too much, and won't let my companion drink anything with Ice because he was a little sick, and the ice will kill him! (Or at least that’s how she explained it!)

We have a lot  of investigators, and always have references for more and more people! Again, it is hard to talk about the people we are teaching, because we don't know if they are going to progress or not... but we did find a family with a son they never baptized! They have been active up until this last year, and it was because they couldn't find the church, but have been coming now with Caesar! He is 9 years old but is so tiny it is so funny! He is great! And he understands everything! So we are all good to go with his baptism this 27th!

We are also teaching a niece of a member here! Her family is not members, but she loves to listen to us! Her name is Yaquibel, but everyone calls her yaqui! Which is just Jakie! haha! She has a ton of questions, and is progressing really really fast! We are planning her baptism for this 3rd of February! 

We were a little sick a few weeks ago, but now all of that has passed! We are totally ready to move forward and find new people! 

My Companion is from Chimbote Peru, which is a fishing town! But he is from the city part... It is really funny because every person that hears Chimbote says "Oh! I went by Chimbote, it smells like fish really really bad, right?" Everyone knows that it just smells like fish! He says the Civiche there is the best in the world! And it makes sense! So I better drop by his house one day!

The mission is fantastic! And I will never stop saying that! it is such an amazing experience, that you can never take back! To see the change in people, even if they don't get baptized, its wonderful! And to see how happy the members are to have the missionaries in their house is amazing! 

Thank you for reading! 

 Hasta Luego!

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.

Mini-Misión

Hola Todos! This week we just finished it off with a baptism! Jorge Sifuentes! He is super awesome! He is willing to help out everyone! I’ts the cousin of Lesly, who was baptized over a month ago! We didn't have water in our ward, so we went to the other ward! It was all smooth, and as usual, we were an hour late! Peruvian time! It was great even though our ward mission leader is new, and starts to organize a million things at the same time - it all went pretty smoothly! We have a new leader, bishop, and elders quorum president! So we are going to try and use that more in our area!  This week we also did an awesome activity with the ward San Felipe! All of the youth got together Friday night and did a mini CCM and Saturday they left with us 2 by 2. We went and visited as normal, and the two kids we were with were super cool! We went with Miguel and Joseph! We contacted, asked for references, and it was super fun! They are only 14 and 12, but supe...

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...
