Pictures of His Pension, Where He Eats, Sleeps and Studies

This week has been kind of a struggle...but i finally got to use my umbrella for the first time in 8 months! That was kinda a neat experience. Tuesday my comp was sick so we couldn't leave the room for the entire day which was kinda boring but we just talked the entire day about trunky stuff (things about home) and that night we got a rain storm that was incredible! i have never seen it rain that hard in my entire life!! it rained like that for about 30 min. by the end all the dirt streets were destroyed and there were flat out rivers in the streets...and it was the first time that i have heard thunder and seen lightning here! the lightning was so close!!! Elder wallace and i stood out in the rain for like 6 min and we came back absolutely drenched!! haha and on friday, we got talking about how weird its going to be when we are dads.haha... and different ways to propose to our wives...hahaha the scary thing is that its not that far away! the rest of the week we were literally walking, trying to find new people. that is our biggest struggle, but with faith in the Lord we will find them. i finally got your pics..sorry its took so long! 1st, is where we sleep, 2nd is where we study. 3rd is where we eat every day. and the 4th is my pension. I love you guys!!! i hope you guys have a great week!!

Pension's Puppies

ya i will call the office to let them know, thank you guys!!!! and thats nice that its spring break, and that is so true about how many people think that death is the end..its really sad. and sorry for the pics. i PROMISE i will get them next week!!

This week has been the adventure. Last monday night we call a call saying that my comp needed to be in chiclayo the next day, so tuesday he went to chiclayo and i stayed with a latino who his comp also went down to chiclayo...which was actually super fun! we got to teach so many cool people! Then when elder wallace came back my pensions dog had puppies so we have been taking care of them, i will also send a pic next week. it has been pouring rain here..like crazy!! the streets have been flooded and we always come back drenched in mud...yay. They also fumigated our room, which is when a guy with a big gun that sprays chemicals in your room to kill all the bugs..but it smells TERRIBLE!! we also had a ward activity where we watched meet the mormons..but almost nobody showed up...and we found this new guy who runs a coffee shop, and we showed him the pic of when Christ visited the Americas, and we thought he would be blown away, but he started dissecting the pic..like all the different cultures and stuff which was pretty funny. so that was pretty much my week..I love you guys!!!!

Third Baptism...but Elder Moore Got to Perform this One!!

My week was amazing! we had the baptism on saturday and i had the chance to baptize her! it was so amazing!! i asked her how it felt when we got out of the font, and she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said...wonderful!..the spirit was so strong! i got to go on a interchange for a day with elder tonga which was pretty cool, we got to talk a lot about talking to each other on facebook before our mission and all that stuff. Also on Sunday (yesterday) we were stopping by to say hi to this guy who owns a coffee shop, and we told him that the u.s. had better chocholate, so we got to go back and make chocholate with him! we got to do the whole thing from taking off the seeds that make chocholate and start from scratch! it was amazing! we also got to cut open our own coconuts and drink the water and eat the white part (i got pics) so ya that was my week i hope you guys have a great week! Love you guys!!!

Zone Conference in Chiclayo then Back to Jaen

That's great you got to take their pictures! i love all those guys, they are great!! i sent you elder Wallace's moms email last week, just take a quick check for it, I'm glad to hear that dad is busy, but not because i don't want him to feel stressed, and that's awesome that you are working on your masters!

My week has been kinda hectic (i think that's how you spell it) my first half was kinda boring not much happened, but on thursday we headed down to chiclayo! we got a super nice bus that was a double decker and we were on the top, and they gave us free snacks,  when we finally got to chiclayo, we stayed with the zone leaders of La Victoria. And we went to a super market and got some dinner, then in the morning we ate french toast at their pension. And the multi-zone was ok, it was kinda boring I'm not going to lie, but it was good none the less. then we headed back up to Jaén..ugh. our bus was not as nice (still a double decker) and they played this one movie that was HORRIBLE it was like hunger games but 10x worse it was SO disturbing, we asked them to turn it off, but they said no...idiots. and that bus ride felt like an eternity! but we finally got back. and we have a baptism this saturday! her name is naty and she is like 52...and ill be baptizing her!! I'm so excited! 

we were kinda rushed today so i didn't get any pictures, sorry. and if you guys send a package for my bday. could you send, a little container to hold your oil .i need one, and a protector for my toothbrush, and some water flavorings..that would be great!! I love you guys so much!! and ill talk to you guys next week!

First Week in Jaen

it makes me sad but happy to see sparky! I'm glad that Ryan got his hat. YES, I got my package..thank you! I needed the socks and laces, and the candy was a nice surprise, as well as the letters from bri, brooke, and emma. 

Jaén is quite the place! there are mountains everywhere, and it's rained every day since I've been here! I came up at the perfect time because its winter up here...weird I know, but I love it! my new comp is pretty awesome too, he's such a hard worker and we are getting a lot done. the first person I talked to who was a reference has a date for the 27th of this month! our church still starts at 8, and we started super late yesterday but it was still a super good 3 hours.  there was a lady who was breastfeeding in the hallway. our pension is great! we literally live in the same house...kinda. she had an attachment put on her house for us and it's actually a nice room, and super nice that she is right there. they took all the sisters out because it is too far from president, and the bus ride was 7 1/2 hours..ugh! we're going  back down thursday and heading back up friday....UGH. 

over all Jaén is pretty sweet! I'm going to love this area! it's so green and we can buy coconuts that they cut open and you can drink the water with a straw..super cool! and before I left giusseppe and flora threw me a goodbye party, and there is a pic. of that...I love you guys!! talk to you guys next week!!!

Elder Moore Has Been Transferred to the Peruvian Jungle City of Jaen

Man this week has been amazing, and sad, amazing cause we had a baptism this week!! (you can see the photo below) and the mission president said that it was one of the best baptisms he's seen! so that was a plus, but sad, because i have changes...:( but I'm getting changed to an area called Jaén, which is in the Peruvian jungle! ill be right next to the amazon river and its super green, but its also SUPER hot! so that kinda sucks but i can deal with the heat, but the animals in the jungle, i don't know..haha. but no I'm super excited, but it was super hard to say goodbye to all the members! we had a family night (farewell elder moore) with all the members, and they each shared how much they loved and cared about me, and when it was my turn to speak, i busted out crying, kinda depressing. But i know Jaén is the place where i am suppose to go and you can't complain about serving in the jungle! on friday we spent 4 1/2 hours cooking lasaña haha. but man was it good! so ya that's basically been my week, talk to you guys later Love you!!
