i want to you read Alma 26:27 when Ammon talks to his brethren when they were getting down on themselves...sorry that happened, but just remember that god doesn't do anything save it be for the benefit of his children. 

my foot is doing a lot better!

Well, its been kinda a fast week cause pday was on tuesday. on wed. i gave my class, then we started exchanges with the zone leaders. i was with elder R from Dominican republic. he is a cool guy, but he likes to control others. we found and had a great lesson with a family in the street. that night we watched a cool video about the spirit world with the penions family. the next day the elders from ferreñafe came over so they could do stuff while the zl was here. after my comp showed me the area in case he had changes. while we were walking on a dirt road we stopped and tried to hit a brick that was far off..ha on friday i did another exchange with Elder falconi from peru he is way cool, then we ate cachangas which is fried dough and a drink called shampoo to support my ward here. then we got off on girls for a long time. at night we played uno and talked until 12. o sat we went to a guy who was going to be baptized, and out of nowhere, the police came, took him, and put him into a car...weird. then we got the new about changes.... it turns out that....both my comp and i have changes. i am going to Morope in Lambayeque and my new com is Elder E. we are co comps. and this change he is finishing his mission. so that was a huge surprise! so that's

been my week. love you guys!!

well i am finally writing! what happened was that my zone wanted to go to a museum, but it wasn't open, so we got permission from president to go today. so almost the entire day we were in Lambayeque at a really famous museum here in chiclayo. it was pretty cool. it was all about the moche culture which was interesting to learn more about the peruvian culture. we went in and watched a short little video, then we got to go through 3 levels of pure artifacts and skeletons that they have found here in Peru. we couldn't take pictures :/ but i took pictures on the outside. its a pretty cool building! it was a cool experience, when we come back, I'm totally taking you guys there! so ya....this past week....last Monday there was an earthquake here in ferreñafe, it wasn't too big, but we totally felt it. i did a exchange with Elder C from Lima, he is a pretty cool guy, i sent a pic of us below. twe did weekly planning, then in the afternoon we went to the offices for interviews with president williams. on the way to the office, the taxi driver was talking on his phone and got pulled over by a cop...in my 18 months here in Peru, that was the first time that i have seen the police take action on something...the interviews were good, i LOVE my mission president, every time i have interviews with him i always leave feeling so good. when he asked me to say the closing prayer, when i said "amen" he had tears in his eyes and told me how much my Spanish has improved since i first got here, so that was a huge confidence builder! we had zone conference and it was okay, but to be honest i have had better ones. my foot was starting to bother me again, so we rested a little. we went to church which was good, it was testimony meeting which was fun to hear the testimonies of the members here. then yesterday i did another exchange with Elder D from bolivia. we found a poor dog in the street who was pretty much dead. his bones were showing and he had a HUGE hole in his ear, and there were maggots inside the hole eating his ear.so we bought him some bread.  a member came out with us, and he is a physical therapist, so i spent the whole afternoon asking him questions, i think i focused on that more than missionary work...but ya that has been my week for you guys..I love you guys! talk to you guys next week!

well nothing has really happened this week. last Monday i did something that i have never done before...i cut my own hair! it didn't turn out too bad...tuesday some elders and i ordered chicken and talked. wed i did a work exchange with Elder C from Honduras, he is a cool guy, he knows a lot about the bible! we stayed up late talking and he forgot to set the alarm, so we ended up waking up at 8 . my foot is doing a bit better. i am not using crutches anymore, but on my work visit, i whacked my foot on a rock...so now its starting to hurt again. Ive noticed that the peruvians are super nice people, but when you start talking about God they get all angry and defensive, i don't under stand why. OH and while I was with elder c, we taught a guy that said..."I'm not atheist, but i don't believe in God" how does that flippin work??? so that was kinda funny. but now our area is struggling with investigators we have nothing! new years eve was a fun day. we went and contacted, after we went to a little store and we bought some stuff to make smores. we had to be in our room at 7 so we tried to cook smores, but it didn't turn out to well. but it was still good. we stayed up and they burned replicas which was kinda cool, but kinda scary. so that was fun to chill with my comp for that time....OH! i found out who the new mission pres. is....Pres. Balderrama from Bolivia, so that's cool. well sorry its been so short, but that's been my week. Love you guys!

Tue. i went back to the doctor and he said that i have to keep resting, but i am starting to leave little by little, but still i gotta rest a little and we were at the church for like 2 hours while the zone leaders were interviewing 2 people that were baptized. wed. i gave my district meeting class which went okay, it was kinda hard on crutches..thu. i did a test call on skype with my mission pres. and we had 2 baptisms! the guy who got baptized, his daughter is on her mission, so we used skype, and she got to see her dad get baptized which was cool (hence the test call with pres.)  then we went and sang in chiclayo which was way fun! even though it was hard to move around with hundreds of people around you.but it was still a blast! then church was only one hour. so that's been my week for you guys. hope you guys have a great week, it was great to talk to you guys again! and yes be planning that cruise!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!

the assistants told me, yes my mission pres. is coming home that day as well. yes my pension does live in a store, she lives a block away, 10 min. 

this week, I'm not gonna lie, its sucked. Last pday we were playing soccer, and i jumped and i did ligament damage in my foot. So i have been locked in my room the entire week. tuesday i went to the hospital, the doctor first thought that my foot was broken, but he took xrays and there wasn't a crack, but there is ligament damage. The doctor wanted to give me a shot in my butt. and right before the nurse was about to give me it. one of the office elders called and reminded us to call sister williams before we did anything. so i called her and we couldn't receive shots. so that saved me from a painful experience! but this entire week i have been in my room. Friday i left for a Christmas multi zone which was pretty cool. that and church sunday have been the only times i have left the room this week my comp and i have spent all week watching movies, and being bored. so sorry this has been so short..but that's been my week.

photos of my room, and my foot. Love you guys!!!

my new place is pretty nice, i will send photos next week, i forgot, sorry. my new comp is pretty cool we get along okay. my pension is the nicest lady ever! pic below. the town is normal sized and there is tons of dirt! 

there are 6 elders in my district including me. 

last Monday i had my goodbye at a members house which was kinda sad...oh and i got a surprise!...so I'm NOT coming home on the 4th.....I'm coming home...........the 13th of June, 3 weeks early because of the change of mission presidents. so surprise!! Tuesday the changes happened. i got to my new area and the entire morning we went out and got to know the members which was good, they are great! the bad thing about this area is that there is nobody...well we have a baptism date for the 23rd of this month so that will be cool, but other than that, there is NOTHING! we have spent all this week knocking doors which was awful!

wed. we had ward council at night time and the church was having problems with the light system so the lights kept going on and off really fast, so the church looked like a haunted house...haha. Thursday we had a lesson with some inv.  and after they gave us some mango flavored popsicles. friday we practiced our scripture mastery's and for everyone we missed we had to do 5 push ups. then we went to a member so he could come out with us, and his dad owns a store so he kept giving us soda and treats..haha. then we went and totally burned a inv. cause she cant get her head around the fact that her baptism is incorrect. after burning her she gave us hot chocolate and bread...haha. on sat. we were walking and a car drove passed us and splashed a mud puddle on us, so that bugged me a little. on sun. church was good, all the members are super nice, again we just walked around all day so this area is good, just TONS of walking...so that's been my week i hope you guys have a great week. love you guys!

transfers.....yes i have a chance...i am going to the area...Pueblo Nuevo in the zone Latina....which is the same zone where i got robbed 3 times...but i know that's where the Lord needs me. i don't get to call home...dang.  i did get to watch the devotional great!

So i have some bad news...President Williams said that now we cannot use recorders to send our voices...so sorry its all letters from here on out. but last Monday all we did was play soccer which was kinda boring. Tuesday was okay. i bought a mango that was super sour...which really bummed me cause now is the season for mango's.. we also had the 1st councilor from the stake presidency come out with us which was fun...hes a cool guy. after he bought us bread...haha. ON wed. we did weekly planning kinda early. After i did a work exchange with Elder Erazo from Ecuador. i have known him for more than a year now so it was fun to hang with him. we taught a lady whose top lip was tiny, and her bottom lip looked like it got stung by a bee  after we tried to get a taxi to take us for 80 cents, but he wanted 1 sole, we told him we didn't have a sole, so he flipped us off, i don't get it... then a cough started to come on...thursday was horrible. the morning we contacted a really rich part, then my cough got really bad, so we rested the afternoon. 

Friday we had zone conference which went good i will let you know next week what day i will skype (i don't think its gonna be on Christmas) then we visited a recent convert whose family left him for going the church. when we passed by, he had not eaten in 3 days and he talked about taking his own life. after the lesson i went over to the store and bought him 2 days worth of food, service just makes people happy. especially since I'm one of Christ's representatives right now.  sat. and sun i was sick coughing all day, i bought some cough syrup that seems to be helping. so ya...that's been my week, i love you guys! talk to ya guys next week!
