Albino Monkey

What the heck is up guys. I hope life is good for all of you. This week went pretty fast, and it was also the last week of the transfer. Tomorrow we find out what's happening to all of us. I'm super excited. But anyways, let's begin.

First off, I finished my training! I did it, and not gonna lie it felt super long. But you know, if it wasn't me saying this, I'd say it wasn't too bad. I've officially earned my Mission pin and can now be free. But really I learned a ton, sometimes it feels like it didn't do much for me, but when I think about where I came from, I can see that I've definitely come a long way. It's been super hard, adjusting and constantly not knowing things, but It's been super good for me. Pretty sure the whole mission will be like that, but just not as extreme. Hopefully.

We went to the beach last Monday, and it was super sick. The only problem was, I forgot to put sunblock on, and got absolutely fried. It was terrible. The only thing that made it worse was that I got a haircut right after, so I had a bunch of weird white spots on my head. Haha I thought the people looked at me weird before, boy was I wrong. All the kids were laughing and all the adults were staring. Twas quite the experience. But thankfully now it's gone so I'm chillin'. 

The other day we were eating lunch, and I just started singing a song, not like in a weird way or anything. I was just bored and sang some random song just like anyone would do. But after I finished singing, one of the Elders clicked something on his phone, and then the Siri robot voice thing just goes, "I have never seen an albino monkey sing." It was pretty funny. After, I dragged him to the bathroom and gave him a swirly. Kidding but I started laughing pretty hard. 

We got to go to a Hospital as a Zone last week and sing Christmas Carols for the people. It was super fun. Afterwards, we saw Santa! Which I'm pretty sure wasn't the real one because he smelled like beef and cheese. Kinda strange, but we got to take some pictures with him so that was fun. Also shout out to one of my friends next Monday, it's his Birthday! Oh wait never mind, I actually just remembered it's not his birthday. Sorry I just thought we had the same birthday for some reason. Took that one straight from Michael Scott thanks.

We had another baptism this week! Our friend named Shantall got baptized and I got to baptize her. It was my first one so it was a super cool experience for me. Luckily I've baptized a lot in the temple, so I'm not as much as a rookie, despite what others may think. But we should have another one tonight for another Hermana. It's gonna be awesome. We've been able to baptize 5 people this transfer which has been super great. It's been so awesome seeing these people progress and take this important step in their lives. 

But anyways, that's about it for this week, next week I'm not sure if I'll be able to send an email cause the Pday is being moved, just a warning. But I hope you all have a great week! Love you all!  Also here are my pictures from last week as well, they didn't work last week.

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...

Rama coming soon

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a while but I wanted to give you all a quick update on how things have been! Last week we had transfers and I got moved! I'm in this tiny little town called Vichayal and it's awesome! I'm also with one of my good friends Elder Thompson from my MTC district so that's sweet. This place is super small, they don't even have a branch here. It's literally called a family group. It's super cool to be part of the work here though. We're close to getting a branch so hopefully we can make that happen soon. It's such a small little village here just surrounded by endless rice fields. It's actually really cool and super green. There are an insane amount of mosquitos though so I've finally given in to putting some repellent on, and it's not that bad hahaha. But it's just pure country out here with basically nothing. I also don't have a chapel with a computer so my emails will definitely be weaker these couple ...
