Teardrop

Heyyy everybody, how are you doing? That's a rhetorical question, If you want to respond, email me, if not, remove yourself from this list. Kidding. If you don't know what a rhetorical question is, ask my good friend Chat GPT. If you're laughing right now, thank you, if not, remove yourself from this list. Kidding again. I am just typing random stuff right now because I'm bored and don't know what to write. I am also kinda sweaty cause I was playing ping pong all afternoon. Anyways sorry this is weird now I'll write a real email.

It has been a great week! We had a baptism yesterday which was awesome. Our friend Jorge was baptized and confirmed and it was a great meeting. We also had 3 baptismal dates for next week but they haven't come to church like 3 weeks in a row so we'll have to stop teaching them. It's unfortunate, but has to be done. We're hoping they'll miss us and stuff and them come next week. We will see. But either way, always enjoyable to have a baptism.

Our new pensionista cooks really good. It's the lady that makes us lunch everyday. So far they've been solid meals, the only sketchy thing so far has been an omelette with broccoli and cow stomach. Which is actually not as bad as it sounds. It's just very rubbery and leaves a weird aftertaste. Plus, it makes it better being cooked in eggs so that was chill. But other than that, pretty solid food. 

We had Zone conference this week which was fun as always. Although this time we had to teach four 30 minute classes. I was a little nervous before but it turned out fun and was a good time. We learned a lot about receiving personal revelation and becoming permanent disciples. So that was cool and I had some good takeaways.

The other night we found a random phone in the middle of the street and didn't want to leave it there so we found out who the owner was, and returned it to him. It was kinda sketchy though cause it was pretty late, and some guys were trying to tell us that it was their phone, when it literally had a Hello Kitty case bruh. Then some random guy was trying to help us, but was super suspicious and had a teardrop tattoo under his eye so that was sick. It was a fiasco, but we ended up getting the phone to their owner and it was all good.

One thing I took away from this week was the importance of punctuality. I'm not gonna lie this branch is awful and does not show up on time for anything. I mean in all parts of the mission, including all of Peru and I'm sure a lot of South America are like that, but this place is awful hahah. So that's gonna be a big focus this transfer. So anyways guys, go to church and activities on time! It seems like a small insignificant thing but it is very important. It demonstrates our love for the Lord. So yeah guys, don't forget to be on time this Sunday at church and any other activities. 

Love you all, hope you all have a fantastic week and I'll see you next week. Also shout out to my cousin Elder Zierenberg for ending his mission. Love you bro see you in a year.

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...

What is up guys. How we doing this fine Monday morning? I hope all is well. I for one, am doing great. It was a fast and good week. Not a ton happened this week. But one cool thing we did find while going to a lesson in this random obscure place, were Las Ruinas. Translation: The Ruins. Need I say more? Or does the title pretty much sum it up? I'll do it anyway. It was basically just these super old structures surrounded by a really old church. It takes a close second to Machu Picchu. Kidding but it was pretty cool. Unfortunately we couldn't go check out more because it cost money and is also closed on P-days. It was cool though. We set up a mini-golf course in our apartment one night, and it was sick. I was going for an eagle putt on one of the rounds but choked under pressure, and had to settle for a birdie. Not bad, huh? Thanks to my brother in law Rob for showing me the ropes, in both real life and VR. It was fun though. First word of advice: don't try to use a dust p...

Hello everyone what in the world is up. I hope it's been a wonderful week for all of you. I have had a good week here in the pines (Los Pinos is my area). This week we had a baptism! It was for a girl named Jenny and it was awesome! I got to baptize her which was cool. The font was only halfway full due to lack of water recently, but luckily it was enough. I had to really lower her hahah but it worked. It was a great experience especially since it's been our only one this transfer, and my companion's first one in the mission. We also did it yesterday after church so there were a lot of people there thankfully. This week we got absolutely eaten alive by mosquitos which was awful. I just refuse to put repellent on. I don't know if it's cause of the stickiness or cause every time I smell it I think of the morning of a campout, which might be one of the worst feelings in the world. But either way, I HATE putting that stuff on. But alas, I might have to sta...
