Dear Familia,
So this week was good, elder Yanez went to his new area in Sullana ( it is hotter than here) but I'm sure that he will enjoy it equally. My new companion arrived shortly after Yanez left. His name is Elder Muchaypina (it doesn't let me do the ene on this key board). He's from Chincha, a place where I heard that they eat cats....I asked him and he told me that it's true.....hahah I would put in work on a good ol gourmet cat prepared with a side of french fries! haha Anyway, he is great, He has a different style and talks way different than Elder Yanez. Overall he's a great guy, very lively and with a do anything attitude. I'm pretty sure that this change will be a fest and good one.
Anyway, just a little background on my latinito. So he's 21 years old, and he is the only member in his family, but he told me that his mom is listening to the missionaries. His dad died a few years ago....luckily he had a great neighbor (who was his girlfriend) that got him to go to church and with sometime, listened to the missionaries. He got the chance to understand where his dad is and when we was going to see him again. Yeah, pretty chill.
Anyways, a little bit about this week, we finally got the two families to go to church, and all was well until the members started talking about profound doctrine and started contradicting the teacher and what not. We'll see what happens with them very shortly this week. but I still have some hope for them......anyways we also went looking for new investigators, and I think that we have some potential with them.
So that's basically what happened this week and what is new, Negreiros is still good ol Negreiros. Oh, the pension in the night had to stop giving us dinner because her work is making her work full time. I'll have to see how creative I can be this week haha. ohh.........made ya look! Anyways, that's the downlow for this week.
Love ya guys and just know that all will go good. Tell the fam that I love them and tell the hood that I'm still reppin!!! Love what the Lord has done for my brother and what not, and he knows that I'm grateful. Keep puttin in work at home and keep hittin me up with pics of home! Love ya guys and the rest of the crew. Ohhh and just a shout out for Geoff, congrats!!! Doin it till we die.......he knows what I mean. and as for the rest, chow!!!!!!
