well not a lot happened this week. Tuesday we went to the museum again in lambayeque. then we hung out with the branch presidents family. Wed. i bought a new camera which i still haven't taken photos cause I'm scared that its gonna get ruined again. and we had district meeting and i left my preach my gospel and hymn book there ๐Ÿ˜‘. at night a guy came over to chill and he showed us a bunch of new movies trailers! like...spider man (which ill be home for to see in theaters!) kong, logan, fast and furious 8...so cool! so i have a lot of catching up to do! Thu. i made up with angeles for throwing water on her..ha. So now we are friends again. Fri we planned, at night we taught Juana who has her date for this Saturday. and this is like the 3rd time that her drunk dad has came in and ruined the lesson ๐Ÿ˜ค. Sat. we did service for the branch pres. and his daughter angeles tried to get back at me with water, and we ended up having a water fight with her and her 2 sisters. so that was fun, they are so cool! Sun. i gave a talk about missionary work. then nobody was home to teach. for the last couple hours we chilled and talked to the branch presidents family. so that's been my week. love you guys! have a great week!

sorry you still haven't been feeling well, yes the baptism did go through but i had to go to chiclayo early this morning cause my comp finished his mission, and i forgot my camera in my room...but next week i will send them. yes i got my book  back, i dont know what kinda surgery it was. and congrats to dad on his new calling!
well usually i write what happened this week so i know, but i didn't have time...so i will try to remember. honestly all i remember is that a recent convert told us that he wants out of the church cause his wife is always bothering him, so we gave him a comfort blessing....hopefully that helps. we had our baptisms on saturday a mom and her daughter. the font water was gatorade lime green kinda gross, but we still baptized in the water . my comp baptized the mom and i baptized the daughter. we  had a farewell for my comp. and i got good news....i am going to be training a american from texas! im so excited! and i will still be district leader. honestly i dont remember that much...sorry. but next week wiill be better,when i am not so stressed. love you guys!

so this week has been a week of service due to the rains...but to start off, last Monday we went to a place called Tรนcume, like 1 1/2 hours away to go to a museum. we went all the way out there to find out it was closed ๐Ÿ˜ค Tue. we did service. we helped the branch president load big logs into the back of his moto, then we dug holes in his backyard and put the logs into them. after i was talking to one of his daughters whose name is A. , and i splashed water on her...ha now she is mad at me...ha. Wed. i was sick, i think i will be sick my whole mission, but wed was horrible so we didn't do much. Thu. we did more service. well better said my comp did service cause i was still sick, so i just sat and talked to the branch presidents kids. Fri. we had zone conference. then i did a exchange for a day with Elder B from Utah....so good to speak English again! then we spent 20 trying to open a stupid door, and the key cut my finger. ๐Ÿ˜ Sat. i woke up to find a visitor in my clothes...a flippin scorpion! so i about died. then it hid in my clothes so we took ping pong paddles and took out my clothes one by one until we found it. then us being stupid teenage boys took a video of it striking at a broom stick...ha then i killed it. then we ended the exchange. and both my comp and i weren't feeling too good so we just rested. Sun i gave a class at church about Adam and Eve, then a member gave me a ceramic pot which was cool. then we taught j. who has a baptism date, and in the middle of the lesson, her drunk dad came in and ruined the lesson. We told him  that the Lord doesn't dwell in unholy places. so after that he shut up. yesterday we helped put bricks onto a roof. so that's been my week. love you guys! i will buy a camera this week then send you guys the amount. Love you guys!

hope you get feeling better soon! 
so bad news....well yes im okay...but yes there have been floods here. the bad news is that water entered in from our room and got a lot of my stuff wet, including my camara....so now my camara dosent work, i have no clue what to do! but ill get to that later. this week. monday night my comp woke me up saying that he heard footsteps and voices. so i gave him a blessing. tuesday we were walking and out of nowhere a little girl/zombie appeared out of nowhere. and started to follow us. finally we dicthed her. later that night we were talking about her and the lights went out...weird. wed. the rains started and it was crazy! we just got hit all at once. from 9pm till 5am we were sweeping outside trying to save our room. and thats where water came in and got my camra wet :(. during that night houses began to fall and people began to scream. that was probably one of the sadest moments in my mission. hearing those screams knowing that from that moment on, those people were homeless. :( thursday i had a mulit zone which went good. we were gonna eat pizza, but the rain caused that pizza huts roof collapsed. so we ate chicken. and the mission presidents wife is in the US cause she had to have surgery...scary. friday i got sick from sweeping outside for all that time. but president didnt think it was safe to work so we stayed in all day. saturday as well. sunday we went to church, and helped a lot of members with service. this week has been super hard for me physically and emotionally. but thats all i got for you guys. i love you guys

the town is okay sized, big enough for 2 missionaries! but wow, this week flew by! last pday was so boring! all we did was watch movies. then we had a family night with the branch presidents family. they are so amazing!  although they are poor, they are rich in thier testimonies. thats just a second reminder on how the gospel can bless families! Tue. i did a exchange with a Elder from Bolivia. we found a guy who believed in God, but not Jesus.... Wed. we had a world wide training for missionaries, and they changed our schedule and our key indicators, so that was kinda crazy. Fri we did a "Mormon battle" where a bunch of the members came out with us to visit. after they invited us to pollo a la brasa. Sat. i was SO HOT! we visited a convert and his wife is not a member, and she hates us. and she said "why do you keep coming by, pretty soon you will take him to your land no?" freakin lady...also a guy came and looked at our shower, cause there was a missionary who got hurt by his shower (it you use it wrong, it shocks you) Sun. i gave the gospel principle class. they gave me no time to prepare so my class kinda blew :( later that day we put a baptism date with a mom and daughter! for the 25th of Feb.so that was great! then we spent a long time talking with the branch presidents family. so i think that's been my week. i love you guys!
