Sup Fam!!
So I'm doing great here in Paita. I believe that it's going to be my last week here. This past week we put in some serious work....como frijoleros ;) jaja Anyways, I'll start off with the beginning of the end. Yesterday we went to church, and all was great. Turns out that we had a baptism...by surprise! haha It was a child, but still that's always tight. Saturday we got a call from someone named Meller. He's the father of the son Jeffery. He is the leader of the quorum of elders. His son (not biological, political) wanted him to baptise him. that was great and he did it.

In other news, the week was good. We taught a lot and I believe we worked harder than any past week. We have a few progressing. There is an abuelita that we're teaching named Juanita. (72) She can't read, but she's got hope. She went to the church inicitiva propia the week before last. The other people that we're teaching, I'll update you on when they progress more. Two days ago it rained.....a little bit of rain goes a long way here. Some of the streets were completely destroyed. That really affected the church asitance. (50%) drop, but that's alright cause were keepin the good spirit!
As for the cook, we still have her for lunch, and she invites us to dinner every once in a while. We put in action our plan to eat dinner with the members so that they can enjoy our presence ;) And so we can build an even stronger relationship with them. That's the deal on cooking, and just so Dad knows, I've lived in a few rat holes in the mission, with scorpions, ants, and bats! hahah but still I'll admit that Dad was more brave than me.
Today was nice. We went to a beach called Yasilia, great beach, great seviche! ;) The best Ive had so far!!! mhhh!! que ricoooo! jaja Anyways, keep up the good spirits!! and yes there are bikes and motos, more motos than people! haha
That's the DL on the week. I love you guys, and I'm putting in a worthy work hour here. Keep me in your prayers and you ll stay In mine!!!!! chow!!!!
