Second email

Hey guys! My second email is here, and I will probably name all my emails by number in case you're wondering. On Wednesday I finally got finished the home MTC and I'm now at the in-person training center. It was definitely really hard to say good-bye to my family but I'm very glad to be here. It's super exciting! Meeting my district in person was so awesome. They are all so cool and fun to be around. Today was my fifth day here and it's been really fun so far.

Friday was my p-day and it was a great day. We played a lot of basketball which was a great time. We also got to go to the temple as a district and do baptisms for the dead. It was such a great experience and the spirit was so strong. It was my first time doing baptisms since receiving the Melchizedek priesthood, so I got to do some of the confirmations. It was so cool to be a part of that. I'm so grateful for the temple and I know that we receive blessings when we spend more time there.

I've been practicing my Spanish a lot and it is definitely improving. Next Friday we will start speaking only Spanish including all of my classes and any interactions. I'm a little nervous but also excited because I know that's one of the best ways to learn the language. I'm learning a ton of new words every day and its really fun. 

I found out that my companion Elder Evans just got his Visa for Peru so that's exciting. They said they're still waiting on mine so hopefully it gets approved soon. But if I get reassigned I have faith that the Lord knows the best thing for me, and whatever happens, I know it's where I'm supposed to go. 

We've been talking a lot about how the gathering of Israel is the most important work on the earth today. It's so cool to me to get to be a part of that for the next 2 years. You guys can be part of it too so don't be afraid to share your testimony with others. Anyways sorry for sending this email a little late but I love you guys!

What's up everyone? What the heck is going on? I apologize to you all for much lack of actual good email. It's very hard to write a good one in my area haha I don't have much time and we only have one phone as a companionship. But anyways I wanted to give you guys an update on how things have been. This week we had our last interviews with our President. He's leaving in like 2 weeks and we're getting a new gringo one. It's definitely exciting but also very sad. I love our current President and he's made a huge impact on my mission. It'll for sure be like that with the new one though so it'll be great. It'll definitely be weird though talking to him in English. It's been a while since I've had an in person conversation with an American adult. Hopefully I don't say something wrong because that would be, let's just say, my worst nightmare. Speaking of a new president. They've been changing a ton of rules here and just basically r...

Buzzcut season

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well! I'm doing great! Just absolutely chilling out here in the slums. The boonies, if you will. It's been a pretty quick week once again, which seems to be going by faster and faster as time goes on. This week we had some good little interviews with the man himself. President. Who sadly only has about 2 months left as our president. But anyways, the interviews went great and we had some good food after at the mission home. Little chicken broaster with some tasty little platano cups filled with a little onion concoction. A definite Peruvian masterpiece. My son Elder Webster this week took the bold decision to get a buzzcut, and I was tempted to do the same. But I didn’t crumble under pressure this time. He also shared his testimony yesterday in Sacrament meeting and it was great, it was a proud father moment. They grow up so fast don't they.  Something crazy I forgot to mention last week is that when I was on exchanges, the carbon monoxi...

French gringo

Hello everyone here I am again after another week! Its been an eventful 2 weeks and today I'll give you guys quick update on the past few since I've been lacking on the emails.  This week we had transfers! I'm staying in my area Vichayal, which I'm chill with. I got a new companion though his name is Elder Rodriguez and he's chill. It'll be a good transfer it seems like. The work here is going pretty good, recently it's been hard to find new people that will actually progress, but in these past couple days, we've found some so that's been a blessing. Either way if we have a ton of success or not this transfer it'll still be a good one. Last week we heard about a guy from France that lived in this little village called Rio Viejo. So we went and knocked on his door that was surrounded by this massive wall and gate. Some 50 year old white dude answered and said we could come in. Holy cow this place ws nice. He had this like mansion with a huge court...
