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 of transfers.

But anyway things are going good. I'm super excited for this transfer and the work is going really well out here. They also put me as district leader which is cool especially because I get to to all the baptismal interviews for the surrounding investigators.

This week we also had our monthly multi zone conference, which is always a blast. There was a good amount of training, conversing, and of course, cake smashing. I luckily didn't get smashed this time but I had the privilege of doing it to my companion. It was a good experience. We also don't have much time until our President leaves which is sad but it'll be exciting to see how our new president will be.

We had a baptism this week! It Qasim for our friend Pedro, who I don't know super well but it was still awesome to see him take that step and get baptized! We have a lot of potential in this area so hopefully we'll be seeing some more baptisms soon.

Well that's all I have time for today guys sorry for the shorty but thanks all for tuning in. I hope you all have a fantastic week! I love you all thank you!

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...
