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!

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...
