Chill week

What's up everyone! I'm back from yet another week out here in Piura. It's been a crazy one, but let's get into some of the highlights. 

First off, this morning we went back to Catacaos, cause I had to show my new comp Elder Webster what the hype is all about. Needless to say, it was sick once again. I didn't get as much as the last time but I got a couple things. Just a little wooden bowl thing for my coin collection of course, and a cool leather cover for my scriptures. But it was definitely a highlight of the week. I will definitely be going back later in my mission. 

Last Tuesday we had to go do some paperwork in the city for my companion, so we had to go to Piura for a couple of hours. When we got there, we split off as trainers and went to this massive mall thing and it was fun. We got some frozen yogurt and just chilled. Twas a good little getaway and I got to see my good friend Elder Pratt again so we chatted for a bit. Solid day.

One thing that's crazy is that this week I'm gonna hit a year since I opened my mission call. That feels so fast to be that it's been a YEAR. It feels weird but it's exciting at the same time. It's been an absolutely wild year. But also super rewarding and I've learned so much! Anyways that was just something that I was thinking about this week.

We had exchanges last week with the zone leaders which was sick. Always fun to do a little exchange. I went with Elder Bradshaw and we had a good time. We got some sushi again which was scrumptious as usual. We also got a new ZL this week so that was cool. He's a cool dude. It'll be a fun last couple of weeks with him.

Let's talk a little bit about general conference, shall we? What a great conference weekend it was. Such great messages shared, and important advice to be considered. I especially loved President Nelson's talk about the power of temples. Being out here on a mission I haven't been able to go to the temple, and I really miss it! So you guys should follow the Prophet and go! It will bless you guys so much!

Well anyways, I didn't have a ton to write about this week but that's kinda all that happened. I hope you all have a great week. I 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...

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...
