Bello Horizonte


Hey everyone! I moved to the other side of the Cerro! 

So one side of the mission is San Juan de Lurigancho, more poor, more dust, more dogs, but more baptisms in the zones! I am now in the side called Comas! A little more rich, and flat, but there are still hills!

It was super sad to leave my other zone! We were breaking records of the mission, and baptized our 38 in one month! We were working on getting to 50!! And now the goal of this zone is 25, and we might not reach that... So its a huge change! But we are working really hard as a district!

My new companion is from Nicaragua! His name is Elder Rivas! So far I am checking off the countries as companions! Ecuador, Columbia, Peru, Nicaragua! But he likes to play the piano, including Waterfall!! I love that song! He is a little bit of a nerd, but that is just perfect! We have a lot of potential investigators in the area, and can find new people really quick! We just work well together, and he only has a Year! 

Our ward has a decent flat part, with 2 Cerros(Hills)! But we walk a LOT! I don't have to take a bus from one side to the other! awesomeness!

We had a baptism yesterday of a crazy teen. He is one of those kids who doesn't want to do anything, but with us he was super happy to listen and progress! and we have a baptism for this Saturday! And 2 more people with baptismal dates! So we are doing just great in our area!

I will try and take pictures, I just hear too much about people getting robbed here, because it is a little bit more rich, but I will be all good! 

I am as happy as can be! The mission is the best thing you could do at this time in your life! And I am so grateful for this experience!

Thank you!

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...
