Another week of the mission down. And I’m
going to start this letter by going back to last week.
Last Monday, we had a free P-Day. Usually we do an activity with the 12
other missionaries in our Zone, but the first week of every month we have
free to do what we want. We decided to meet up with our District at our
Pensionista’s house, eat lunch together, and watch a movie. Since our
District is 4 gringos and 2 Latinos we got to pick a fun Disney movie and
not some strange Latinos movie. We picked Continue reading →
We didn’t do anything special or exciting
for New Year’s. We worked like normal, tried to visit people (but nobody
was home because of the holiday) then came home and slept like normal. The
fireworks at midnight woke me up a bit, but we didn’t go and watch them or
anything because we wanted to sleep.
Then on the 1st of the new year, we met as a Zone and read 90 passages from
the Book of Mormon/Libro de Mormon together. The 90 passages are from a
sheet that we give to all of our recent converts to Continue reading →
So I’ve decided that Christmas
didn’t actually happen. We had a holiday here on the 25th of December with
Christmas trees and lights and Santa, but it was just a Peruvian holiday
they call ‘Navidad,’ not Christmas. Christmas isn’t Christmas if there
isn’t chips and salsa, gingerbread houses, taco soup, Samuel the Lamanite,
Adam Sandler’s Hanukkah song, Lucky Nuts, stockings, and a long car ride to
Grandma’s house early in the morning. I’m looking forward to Christmas in
2016 because that’s when it’ll Continue reading →
So this week we had a bunch of
Christmas activities! On Wednesday, we met with our mission president and 4
other Zones to have a ‘Christmas Devotional.’ It wasn’t a party. It was a
‘devotional.’ We played games; watched a slideshow of pictures from around
the mission; ate really good chicken, fries, salad, jello, and actual
Dunkin Donuts; and performed skits. One of the games we played was to dress
someone up as Santa. They gave us red and white paper, cotton strips, and
tape. We had 20 minutes. Continue reading →
Things are going great here!
We didn’t have the baptism that we had planned for this week because she
didn’t come to Church, but we have another date set for her on the 27. We
should be having a couple baptisms that day. ‘Should’ being the operative
word.
Transfers happened this week! Elder Mananita and I thought that one of us
would be getting transfered, probably me, but we’re both still here in
Hunter for the holidays! We’re both really happy because 1) we didn’t need
to pack up all of our stuff Continue reading →
