Eggdog

What's up everyone. Holy cow it's been a crazy past two weeks. Sorry for not sending an email last week, our P-day was moved and I had like no time at all. But anyways, let's get into it shall we.

Last Monday was my birthday, which was pretty fun. We played some soccer in the morning, and then ate some cake at a member's house later that night.. It was pretty fuego. It was definitely a weird birthday, just because I had barely thought about it at all, and I was just in Peru being a missionary. But it was still a solid birthday that I'm thankful for. Thank you to everyone that sent me a message, I'm sorry if I don't respond to all of you, but know that I really appreciated it. For those of you who didn't write me, I will be removing you from my email list, but it was nice knowing you. 

Last week on Wednesday, we had the Christmas party thing for the mission, which was awesome. We were all at the mission home until like midnight just chilling and talking. It was super fun. When we finally got home and got in bed it was like 1:45, and then we woke up at 6 the next morning for a Zone conference. It was brutal, but we got through it, barely. I then got absolutely obliterated in the face by three slices of cake because it was my birthday two days before. Classic mission tradition.

Yesterday we had a lesson with some of our investigators, which was super good. At the end of the lesson, we were praying, and I started hearing this weird crunching noise coming from the ground. So I opened my eyes for a sec (I swear I close my eyes guys), and saw this random dog just munching on an egg shell. Not sure why but it was so funny. The dog was just living it's best life. I mean what's better than an old egg shell discovered in the trash, on Christmas eve night. Comment down below if you have an answer to that. 

Also yesterday, we were visiting a bunch of members and singing some Christmas Carols. At one of the houses, we finished singing, and I accidentally said Happy Birthday instead of Merry Christmas. Then everybody started laughing at me and making fun of me and I got embarrassed. But don't worry about me. I'm doing fine, just fine. Some might say too fine. I don't even know what I'm writing at this point.

This morning we went to the beach, which was pretty dope. When we got there, we passed by this guy and said hi, nothing to it. Then like 5 seconds later we looked back and he had just taken off all his clothes and was going into the ocean to bathe. Twas quite the sight. Then like an hour later we saw this dog getting absolutely abused by this 14 year old kid. The kid would grab the dog, and chuck it into the ocean. Then the dog would try to run away, and the kid would tackle it and repeat the cycle. It was crazy to watch. Tackle. Throw. Try to escape. Repeat. Reminds me of my old routine before the mission. Eat. Sleep. Minecraft. Repeat. 

Welp that should be about it for today guys, hope you all have a Merry Christmas. Thanks again for all the emails and messages. Love you all!

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...
