Third email

What's up guys! I'm back.  

Monday morning was super busy.  We had a lot to do. We had Spanish class, breakfast, a service project, and a workshop all back to back. Very chaotic but an awesome and super productive day. 

On Tuesday night we had a devotional and got to hear from Elder Godoy of the Seventy! His talk was amazing and the spirit was so strong in that room. He shared with us his conversion story and gave us principles that we can use when teaching the people in our missions. Also during the devotional, my district had the opportunity to sing in the choir, it was such a great experience. We sang the Army of Helaman and I felt the spirit so strong. On the last verse we changed the words from "we will be the Lord's missionaries" to "we are now the Lord's missionaries."  It was so cool to know that I am now a missionary, and I'm so thankful that I get to be a part of this important work.

On Wednesday I hit a week of being at the MTC which is exciting. We also had all the new missionaries arrive which is good because now I'm not a greenie. I saw a couple of new Elders that I know which was fun.

Yesterday my roommate Elder Harris and I broke our hacky sack record finally. His parents shipped him a softball sized hacky sack and we've been playing every night. Our goal by the end of the MTC is to be be able to hacky sack the entire day without stopping.

I've been learning a lot of Spanish which is good because we go into full Spanish starting tonight at 6. I've heard that helps a ton so I'm excited for that. It will definitely be mentally tiring but I know it's for my benefit.

Thanks for all your support. 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...
