lucuma which tastes horrible and something else important

the episol of elder preece to the family of saratoga springs

Hola familia que pasa aquí no pasa nada. Jijiji

But really i'm still getting used to the new area, and all the crazy things i have to do as lider de districto.

Which really isn’t all that much, but it's still enough of a difference to drive me crazy. I get super stressed a lot, and it kills me because there are so many things that they don’t tell you but expect you to do. but I guess that’s life. Something I have learned in the mission is that nobody trains very well, and the training is never enough. Perhaps. That’s the way God wants it. that we are always learning on the job. Jaja but this week was tough. my comps been sick, and he's been having huge acne in his eye and neck. and it's super gross i'm talking white head the size of a dime. Nasty but we out lived it. Oh and it's been super crazy hot. As in wanting to take off my clothes in the middle of the street hot. OH Boy I haven’t sweated this much for doing almost nothing in my whole life. And on a really crappy note I heard that piura has a second name, and it translates to city of the eternal heat. Haha i'm going to die.

A side note: your music is vacan. i've enjoyed trek a lot this week. And I don’t think my is as much as I am but someday hell like country everybody has there moment.

As for the other great quarks of the infierno, I have pretty much had it with all the rice and juice. I honestly just want water and that’s it not to mention is a killer diet, but it's literally killing my body. Inside outside in the front as well as the back. But perhaps with a lot more exercise i'll be able to get my body back. But I don’t think that’s going to happen. I have about a thousand miles to run before I'll be back in fighting shape. So why start now? I still have a year plus of rice to eat.

Oh so you know how I all ways leave things behind Saturday we cleaned the church of catacaos and I left my backpack with my agenda and other stupid things that missionaries need like my white bible and pen. You cant imagine how important those like pieces of crap are. But to cut the story short I call the ZL to tell the missionarys of that area to bring my back pack to the zone activity and when we get there elder oces tells me yeah its in my apartment well go get it after. And got mad that I would think that he would bring  it gives me colera his area is 30 minutes by bus from where the activity and it costs to travel in time and in soles. But he aquí doy fin a mis palabras

Oh and now more! I think I got hit by a mototaxi today. . . . we were playing a game of who can walk the farthest with their eyes closed, and lets just say I won. But i'm not hurt or anything just sort of bumped me. A little but haha. The stupid thing is the entire road was open and the crazy peruvian chose to play chicken with the blind. Haha but at least i'm not hurt. He was a bit mad, but i decided that when the entire road is open and you drive right at the people it's your fault. But still I think I will be walking with my eyes open from now on. #gané o #iwon

Y aconteció que yo elder preece siendo un caballero de estatura normal y con mucho animos por razón de cumplir 10 meses he escrito mi familia en éste el año dos mil catorce desde el nacimiento de nuestro señor Jesucristo. Y con estas palabras doy fin a esta carta que deseo que la espíritu les a compañe a dondequiera que viajen

Y así termino

Amen

DE UN TRONADO MISIONARO QUE LES AMA

Hola familia ,

Que pasa. . . .  nada LO SABÌA        

This week has been one of the funniest and most busiest mixed with the grippa (flu—really sick) and at the same time one of the most stressful and filled with miricles.

To tell the real story would be really boring, and you'd probably die from boredom. so i'll tell the short one instead

This week started early, and I didn’t exactly get a lot of sleep the night before because I went to bed late. I can't say why because talking about past transgressions is taboo.

Anyway i'm here in san bernardo 1. it’s nice and filled with tons and tons of sand. But it’s a good change i'm a little tired of pure green. it's good to see peru for how she is hot hot dirt in the eyes more hot. Hahaha

I really like the ward. it's great we actually have people attending! it's perhaps the greatest things I have ever seen. I almost cried Sunday. Buuuuuuut I didn’t because I had to speak haha. I shared a short and hopefully powerful message about how many people are sharing things about the mormons and what are the mormons doing . ..  nothing down here we hear a lot of crazy stuff about us and to be honest “it’s a bunch of lies man”

But we just keep working. share those good words of wisdom to the drinkers and the message about Jesus to the rest.

One of my favorite things about san bernardo is we actually have investigators. we are teaching 6 killer people luis, Antonio, david, Isaac, Alexander, and one that I forgot, I think she's named casandra. But anyway I'm so excited and my comp is too because he's been working here for 5 months and wants some of the rewards. Haha.

My comp is literally the best ever. Obedient, loves the people, works hard, studies, there's only one bad thing . . . . He´s seen NACHO LIBRE hahaha and he told me yesterday “i'm so sick and tired of all this rice I want to eat meeeeeeaaaat” in English to imagine my surprise. Haha it's been awesome.

Other than my awesome comp they downgraded me to leader of the District yeah its rough because i've got elder gaona the trunky Mexican who is always cracking jokes. my comp who is a crazy as I am. and elder smith and elder panta and elder cardenas a gringo and two with little time in the mission. But we be kicking and i'll finally get trained Wednesday hahaha it will be great because I finally understand what I was supposed to be doing in the first place.

Observation: every latin in the world has seen dragon ball z. anybody know why?

Also more serious question who is gazelem from alma 37 23?

Also if y'all  could sent me fotos of our ancestor and family to the 4 gen with a short story about their life and what they liked to do. that would be great because we have to fill out little booklets or pres is going to quemarnos o to say it in English burn us.

Love y'all and hope that you have a gravy week

Que la fuerza no patielos bien fuerte en la culata haha

Elder Preece

Ps. Milagro we were talking with this guy for the first time, and we were like hey can we share a message?

him sure 

us right now 

him yeah.

Cool right. haha

happy monday

so first off no fotos because i brought the wrong card, and they are all old so you've already seen them. 

this week when we got to church there wasn't anybody except for the leaders, and that's how we started. and i just couldn't help it, i started thinking that i had worked so hard and nothing not one seat in the whole freaking chaple was occupied. and i just started to cry. not very manly i admit, but that's how it happens sometimes. 

 i felt better about 30 minutes later the chapel was filled, and i was feeling pretty good. 

last night i said goodbye to all my investigadores and let them know that i love them and that they should continue to be strong. and then from there we went hermona jenny´s and had a party with chocolate cookies and cake and pizza and your caramels and fudge because the package finally arrived. haha i loved your letters and all of the little surprises especially the mace windo lo maximo

my new comp is elder mallo de argetina, and he is solid a good kid obediente and hard working and from what he has told me of the area we are going to work like crazy. and have some success too. 

i love the obra misional because you never know whats going to happen.

guarda la fe y el gran Dios y sigan fieles mi familia

y felicidaes a mckell and your husband in a few days.

this is the advice of my friend adam burrows for what to do with a bad comp. i thought it was profound  

There will always be struggles with people we come in contact with especially the ones were around for long periods of time. haha Just pray for your comp. that you would see the intent of his heart. Just keep praying every time you have a struggle with him.   

chau

dear famadamily

our casa capilla

your going to have to excuse the short letter this week because i answered 29 letters you guys are great and sometimes exhausting. 

as for you all it seems like y'all be on top of the world from Liesl's birthday, and all of her crazy looking like bannie, to the wedding and all the craziness that y'all going to put down on the dance floor. down here it's just hot and not near so crazy. but little by little we are going to reach the end of one tough transfer and eventually i will reach winterish or a little bit colder then it was before.

this week was not the best. we have a really rocky relationship and i hit the point of depression or exhaustion and long story short i could leave the building let alone do anything else as for me. i'm doing a little better i was a bit sad, but i've decided that i needed to analyze myself and define who i want to be because if i want to be sad i'll be sad if i want to be happy i'll be happy. it's a secret of life or something, but i'm going to try it out and perhaps it will go well. i'll give you a report. 

this week for p day we played futbol again but on grass. and i destroyed my knee again bleeding all over. it was gross, but hey what can you do. 

the bonus was i got some pretty royal treatment from our lider misional.

as for the work i have been just putting in lots of effort and hoping that God will make up for my mistakes. i have been too self critical and that has just been bad.

the question for y'all is this: when somebody doesn't want to follow the rule what do you do,....?

this is perhaps the most important question to analyze because we all will have times in our lives where we need to help somebody better themselves.

i love you all super duper much and i am so glad to have a family that loves and supports me.

Keep up the hard work and keep killing the wedding plans.

oh and in spirit i will be on the Dance Floor. remember to play some killers for me. haha

Love your special and not so humble}

Elder Preece

P.s. MAY THE FORCE BE FREAKING WITH YOU
