A little bit of Arequipa


Transfers!!! 

I am staying here in Casablanca, but Elder Delgado left! I have a new companion from Peru, a place called Arequipa! The Texas of Peru! It;s pretty awesome! He is great, loves questions, and is really easily distracted! 

We have been doing great in our area so far, getting better every day! We are working with Alberto and Patricia! We are going to put in their papers to get married this Tuesday, and we will have to wait 3 weeks for the paperwork to go through!!!

We found Gabby, a normal Peruvian! haha! But she is working to get baptized this month! We had 9 people in the church, but everyone needs to get married... So it was kind of sad for our numbers, even though we have been working hard! 

We never know what we are going to do here! Something weird always happens! We have been planning a dance for this last Wednesday! It was awesome! In the end, all of the Relief Society couldn't help prepare food! So we basically wasted a whole day of missionary work to prepare all of the snacks for the dance! We cut cheese and hotdogs to put on sticks, made Little Causas, Tequeños, Fruit, marshmallows on sticks! Everything! Then we hired a bus to take us to the church, and luckily 3 people were decorating the ward building. We had to set everything up, organize the Clown that came (who is a member, Miguel, from another ward!) We ended up talking to the investigators that came! It was a whole bunch of work

This week we are going to look for people like madness! We are going to have a whole bunch of new people, to try and prepare them for the end of this month! My companion likes a whole bunch of new people! 

Well, I am still happy, working hard! Loving what I am doing! And am growing every week, every day! I am finding some great friends, great companions, and having great experiences!!!

I hope everyone stays happy! See you next week!

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...
