Shorty

What's up everyone how are you all! I'm back again with another weekly email! This week felt pretty fast and we worked a lot!

Alright I wanted to give you guys a recap of my area. I'm in the Zone called Castilla, in the area Los Pinos 2. This area is super cool, it's more in the city. Which means no more beach and holy cow it is hot. I have never sweat so much in my entire life. The sun just bakes out here and there's barely any wind. It also doesn't help that our house is literally an oven. It's a pretty nice place, but if we don't have the fan on we are dripping sweat in seconds. 

The ward here us huge! There's like 250 people that come to church every week. Which is a lot here especially compared to my last area. I remember one week we had like 95 people a church and it was insane. It's way different here. Also the sacrament meeting room has air conditioning which us super rare, and it's so nice. The members are awesome and they help us so much! Basically everything is a lot different than my last area. 

The neighborhood I live in is crazy nice! I think you guys saw the picture in my last email. It's funny because all the houses are like half brick and half house. Like one side is this like unfinished brick walk and then you see the other side and it's this super modern style super nice house. It's crazy. Also there's grass! I hadn't seen grass since the MTC and it's crazy. It reminds me of the states, especially when I used to mow my lawn. The only problem is they don't know how to take care of it as well as us Americans do. They need to hit up my friend Carson so he can do them right. 

We had a great zone conference last week, and I finally didn't get caked! I just watched the others get murdered while we all laughed and pointed at the new guys. Such a weird mission tradition but honestly so fun hahah. I will definitely miss that when we get our new mission president in July. But it was a great conference and I learned a lot of good stuff!

But other than that, things are pretty good over here. I really like my new area! It's super different but seems like it's gonna be an awesome experience this transfer. I hope you are all doing great! Also send congrats to my sister Ginger because she just had a baby! I love all you guys! Sorry kind of a shorter email this week but I wanted to update 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...
