Tomorrow I complete 20 months in
the mission! It’s crazy to see how much time has gone by!
This was a good week. It was pretty average.
The district meeting we had on Tuesday went well. This time I was prepared
and ready for it. It turned out well. There was a lot of participation from
the missionaries, and we were able to learn together. We talked about
charity and how to better contact people in the street or in their houses.
Thursday we were able to go to the Family History Center and help Continue reading →
We had a good week
this week! My new companion got here fine, and we’ve been getting along
great!
Monday: My companion got here. We ate lunch, he wrote home, then we went
and visited the Cruz family for a family home evening. It went well.
Tuesday: We had a Zone meeting today instead of a district meeting. We

etc. Then we split into our new districts. I didn’t have a class prepared.

We didn’t do anything for Easter,

There were transfers this week!
I’m staying in my area. A Peruvian is going to be my companion. He’s from

every other day.
We’re thinking I’ll have 1 transfer with my new companion, Elder Araujo,
and then go somewhere else to Continue reading →
Monday: We wen to buy some souvenirs this week. It was just a relaxed day.
That night we taught the Familia Cruz. There were 11 people there listening
to us at the same time. It was a very different teaching environment. It
was a little hard to keep everyone focused, but they paid attention.
They’re going to progress at different speeds, but I think all of them will
be baptized.
Tuesday: We had our District Meeting this morning. Our District Leader
taught Continue reading →
Monday: We went on a little hike. We found a cool cave type thing with
water that trickles through the walls of the cave not far from here. We had
to cross a small river to get there, but it was fun. Here are 2 photos.
Tuesday: First of all, everyone here drinks yogurt. They don’t eat it; they
drink it. It’s all very runny. It’s good, though. You buy it in a big 1
liter plastic bottle. Our pensionista bought us Continue reading →
