Hello!


So!

Peru is still the same, we are just MEGA cold right now!! Its actually not that cold, but the humidity is killer sometimes! Our room is on the 3rd story, and we already live up a decent climb! There is always fog/mist when we wake up! I am not cold at night, but getting out of my blankets sometimes is a little hard! haha! And our clothes still don't dry! We use a hair dryer for our socks right now... We make it work! 

So we are having some problems with investigators. They aren’t really showing their desires to repent, and make the changes necesary. We have been working with people like Lee, Shantaly, Jenny, Eresbita, Elena, Santiago.... Etc! We always have at least 10 people who say they will attend church, without a doubt! And then 2 or 4 attend! So we are really contacting new people! Almost completely starting over! 

We have a new way to contact people right now because we have such a big problem with church attendance. When we contact the people, we ask them if they are married, and if they are, great! We continue... And then we invite them to church! And if they are willing to say yes in the moment, THEN we can ask for an appointment! We are filtering out our investigators from the beginning! 

We are also teaching Lesson 1 a lot more simple! Focusing on the key points of the lesson! And teaching more about the authority and Priesthood! And we are teaching in 20 minutes! It is a super cool way, to really teach about the doctrine of the lessons, and see if the people we are teaching are chosen, or if we shouldn't waste as much time as we do on people who don´t even understand the importance of the Book of Mormon! My companion has a little bit of a struggle with this, because he really likes to talk! And I agree, it is really hard to Teach instead of talk and explain, and talk some more!

There are 2 new elders that were going to Nicaragua, but were reassigned here! Elder Stevens and Elder Lainhart! Elder Stevens is in my old area, probably suffering without water, and smelling pigs every day, and I am in the same district as Lainhart! I went on a work visit with Lainhart, and it is super crazy to think that almost a year ago I was in the same spot!

I think I have finally stopped loosing so much weight. I am stuck here at normal person! But my legs are going to be Giant if i stay in this area! So so so many stairs! And now my area is bigger after they closed the other area in our ward! We are doing a ton of walking!! And divisions in the ward to cover double area!

I am doing just great here, and even better now that we are working hard at finding more people! Its super easy to contact, and even easier now that I have time doing it! I am not going to lie, I really didn't like to contact.... for the first 10 months of the mission. But now its SUPER normal! And asking for references is even more natural! 

I'm happy as always! And super excited for this week! We are also going to the temple tomorrow!! 

Have a great week! Love you guys!

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...
