Yeah sooo what up?! This week was good and was full of lessons. I had to take a good look at the book that we work from, and we got down to organizing. The week went fast, and the rest I'm sure will just go faster. Anyway, we've been working with a few people, and we're hoping that it will be success with them. We've got a lot of young men that we are hookin up with the good work of God and let them know what's up. I'm pretty sure that one (jhon) is hopefully going to be baptised this month, but I don't promise anything. As for the other people, we have a couple of less actives that we are puttin work on. We're doing our best to build here and hopefully our effort turns out.
We're looking forward to this week and hopefully the familes that we are going to be teaching will be there. What happens here is that the people we can always find and always teach, but it's like my first area, sometimes they just dont want to make a decision, so we just gotta keep the chin up and push them towards the goal of the lifetime.......and that is what scares them, because it's a lifetime goal....long haha. Anyway, the people that surround me, especially the members, are great and very friendly. They make me happy, and I find the motivation to keep on going when I talk with them. Anyways, thats about all that i got goin on here.
(Answers to Mom's questions) -- How are you doing? So first off im great, Do you know Elder Justin Farmer?-he has a blogsite and he's in your area..second yeah i know him he has the same amout of time as me and is from Colorado. Do you see the mission president very often? Yes I see the pres. and his wife. I saw his wife and daughter (who is visiting) yesterday and the pres last week, but normally it about every 3 months. Did you only have 9 people at church or did you mean 9 investigators? I meant 9 investigators there are about 60 that come to church. What area are you in? I'm in Paita, rama paita. and only Peruvians, Do you ever see Americans? I'm the only gringo around, and yes I always get starred at.....they have a custom here to kiss on the cheeks, of course that's not allowed by the missioneries, but last week a chick kissed me by surprise. That's number two, the first was a grandma haha! Where are you living? How close is your pensionista? I'm posted up in the room when i took a pic with my comp, It's narrow, but has a great place to chill, kinda like a living room. We live above the pension, Do you eat fish now? and yes we eat fish, but she knows I'm not a big fan, especially of the pota haha
