Fourth email

What is up guys? It's been a great week. So much stuff happening here at the MTC. The days feel pretty long but the weeks have been going by surprisingly fast.

Sunday was fast Sunday, which was surprisingly not as hard as I thought it would be, since it was a super long day. That was definitely a blessing. We had a little devotional, and I started to get super tired so I closed my eyes and literally 30 seconds later I jolted awake and accidentally kicked the chair in front of me. It was super loud and I think everyone heard it. I don't care though because it was the best nap I've ever taken. I wasn't tired for the rest of the day.

On Tuesday I found out that I got my VISA for Peru! I'm super glad because basically every Elder I talked to told me I had no chance with Peru. I'm supposed to leave on September 29, so it's coming up. We had an awesome devotional that night and the speaker was Elder Gary Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Before he walked out we all knew it was going to be someone good because they brought in the trumpets and they decorated the room way more than last time. I got to sing in the choir again which was super fun, and convenient because I got good seats. It was so cool to hear from Elder Stevenson and his message. He gave us some amazing tips for our missions.

Wednesday was a pretty average day. We got new missionaries which was exciting, and also crazy because it seems like we just got new ones the other day. 

Thursday was good. My district and I all went to the Rec room a bunch that day and played a lot of ping pong and foosball. My hair was getting kind of long so I buzzed it all off that night. Feels great, but I'm not used to how it looks but that will definitely change soon.

Today was a super busy day. We had to go super early to do laundry, eat breakfast super fast, go to the temple, do our service in the cafeteria. and then eat lunch all with barely any breaks in between. Even though it was super chaotic it was still super fulfilling and a very productive day. 

I know that these next to years are going to be some of the busiest years of my life. But I also know that I will benefit so much from it. I love this gospel and I'm so excited to go out and share it. 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...

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...
