FUEGO

Hello everyone! I'm back from another quick week. I only have 6 more days here at the MTC which is crazy. I'm so excited to get to Peru and realize I know nothing. 

On Tuesday we had a devotional with Elder Marcus B. Nash of the Seventy. He gave such a great talk about our purpose as missionaries. He talked a lot about how we GET to be missionaries and we don't HAVE to be missionaries. We need to treasure this time when we focus everything on the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm so grateful for this opportunity I have to be a missionary and I can't wait to get into the field and start teaching people.

On Tuesday night some kid pulled the fire alarm in my building. We don't know who it was but he got sent home. Just kidding. But we had to stand outside our building for like 30 minutes until someone came and turned it off. Eventually a push up circle started where some kid goes in the circle and does as many push ups as they can while everyone else cheers. Elder Caballero from my district got in the circle wearing his robe and did 72 push ups. It was amazing and everyone went crazy. 

That's about it for today sorry not a lot of stuff this week to write about and not very many pictures. But next time I send my email I'll be in the field! Thanks 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...
