el bautismo de hipolito and the old black guy is the one i think looks like bill cosby

hey every body.

how's it going?  things down here are nice and hot. so hot in fact that i sleep with a fan on all night. i hope you like the pics of the bathroom of the elders of cerro mocho. it was hilarious. we had divisions, and it was quite a blast. Elder toolson and Elder zevallos live in a house chapel, and it's pretty big. but their bathroom is classic peru. it's out back and is what i would call macgyvered plumbing. it's funny how quickly peru can change from as modern as the us to 3rd world and then back again. but i love it all. 

is it just me or are the weeks passing even faster? it seems like the last 6 weeks flew by cause my comp is almost done with his training. but i guess i sort of got lucky because he already had 6 weeks of training when i arrived, but it sort of sucked because he didn't give me any respect. and for that we have had a few fights. but we be good now. to be honest the mission seems like a dream: you leave the door and then you come back just as fast as you left, but it's night already. i don't know how to explain it. it really feels like i will be writing you in about 3 minutes and the date will be the 18th. but i guess that's not so bad. 

new phrases for you are the following: 

walk over there- anda por alla it means get out of here or vete for people that speak spanish.

the other is:

nothing happens- no pasa nada it means something like i have no idea haha they use it to say something is uncool or crappy.

i decided that querecotillo is an oasis in the middle of the desert.

this week we visited a schizophrenic and that was pretty wild.  

it went like this: obama is an evil black spirit. what's happening with your country? it's run by an evil black spirit

bless my tv. its not working well. can you bless my newspaper?

and later as we were finishing up he blessed us to become catholics again. haha elder julcapoma and i didn't say amen.

not a really great story, i know, but it just reminds me that there are tons of really crazy people in the world.

i was told the reason mosquitoes bite me so much is that i have sangre gringa. made me laugh pretty hard.

but really not too much has happened. even though they tell us they are speeding up the work. but i raise the question is it weird to have a notebook that is for other missionaries to sign or am i just weird...  

 

any way i send my love and eat lots of rice 

chau elder preece

que la fuerza te acompañe

there are not words to describe that bathroom hahaha

letter of noviembre

sorry to hear that bigs bit the dust. i really liked him. oh well  that's what happens from time to time, but perhaps bigs believes in the reincarnation and his spirit wanted to be a little closer to me cause i got a new plant. hahaha. 

hope elder Eatough is fine, and that he is getting back to work. there will be plenty of people humble enough to listen over there. 

as for the hambergur its the meat the ground beef is more like sasuage 

to be honest pne of my favorite things about being a missionary is the ride to and from querecotillo to sullana. it's gorgeous, but teaching lessons and talking to people is super cool too.

alrighty, so the update of transfers: still in querecotillo. my pants are stressed to the max, and i a going to train a newbie again. he gets here tomorrow, which isn't so bad cause i am going to crash with elder parra from orem, utah for the night in marc bella lica or something like that. but today we had to get up at 530 to get elder J off for piura he was so stoked to get out you would think that we had a bunch of problems, which we did. we hit each others buttons a bit too well, and he was super quiet, always reading his book. super boring if you ask me. oh well i get to find out what new problems are coming my way. but that's the fun part about mission work is that you can always count 

but times up sorry i did know 

may the force be with you chau
