Beautiful horizon for Mothers Day


Hey everyone!!!

So there have been a lot of changes, and for that reason I have not had too much time to write! But I will start with my new companion, Elder Mejía! From Honduras! We were together in Montenegro, not as companions, but in the same ward! He has 5 months now, and we get along great! 

I am also District leader now! That basically means that I am in charge of my area, and helping 2 or 3 other companionships in their area. So I watch their numbers, verify their baptisms, help them where they need help, go on work visits (Change a companion for a day) and give a little meeting every week that I have to teach/lead. The only thing about that, is that my district is having some problems, and we don't have a lot of new people attending church! So I have been running around doing lots of things, including going to their area to help teach, and invite them to church!

We got a new bishop and ward mission leader in the last 3 weeks, and I have been helping the ward a lot with that! And of course new Elders quorum president! We are going to work more with the ward, and that means more time with them, and organizing activities, days to leave with them, and more references for us!

It was Mothers day yesterday! So fun to talk with my family, and see their happy faces, I hope that everyone was able to have a happy day! Everyone here spent the morning cooking, to eat together, then everyone started drinking and smoking all yesterday..... A little bit different than what I am used to! But we ate a lot of meat! I had for lunch, beef, chicken and pork. Then at night, Beef heart, and Chicken and beef stomach! Beef heart is called Anticucho, and it wasn't too bad. But the other two... Yea... No thanks! Its just hard and gummy!

We have had baptisms, and I don't remember where I left off! We baptized Leo and Andrea, then Valeria, then Josue (Jordi) and this next week we are planning with Jorge! He is super cool! Police officer! He is always with us when he can! 

I am still just chugging away, but more phone calls, leaving areas, doing reports! Leader things! It all happened at the same time! But I will be better with writing a letter!!

Gracias!! Hasta luego!

The Peruvian Census

This week was fantastic!  We have been working really hard with all of our Fechas! (People with a baptism Date) We have Shandu and Shande, who are really ready! We have been teaching them as much as we can and today they are going to have their interviews! Shandu is only 12, but has the most amazing little spirit! And Shande is 14, and would rather play futbol, but has now learned the importance of the gospel! The two brothers are excited! We are having a problem teaching their sister, Sasha. She is just having a hard, teenage life! Haha! But is 16, and we are trying for the 11th of November to have her baptized! And you can't forget about Edu! I haven't NOT received a hug every time I see him! He is so awesome, and his parents, Rosa and Raúl, were able to go to church yesterday!  The reason that Rosa and Raúl went is because we had church at 6 PM. That is because we had El Censo de Peru! For the Census, everyone had to stay in their house fro...

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...

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...
