fotitos jajaja

como quisiste no se por que 

son feitos como tu jajajajaja

look at this dork jajaja

this is my pic that pres has got on the transfers wall jajaja. 

they took it when i first got to Piura, Peru  after. 18 hr. in a plane jajaja 

Chulucanas, Peru

so it pretty much was a good week. we are getting more contacts. when i got here we really didn't do many, but that's the thing when you move from one area to another you have to start from where the area's at. and then work up. we've got a lot of good people, but the thing is that it's a touffy because well there are lots of problems with chastity, so everyone we talk to is subject to a bit of suffering ie repentance and they don't do that a lot. but hey not so bad i guess. 

the truth is i'm still focused although i'm a lot more stress free. jajaja i've been reading like crazy and i'm even starting to organize my mission notebooks. i think that will be a blessing. jaja plus i've been thinking a little and i mean a little about the purpose of life jaja. but i haven't come to any conclusions yet. still thinking that living in the basement is the best option for me. jaja it's a nice plan. i have to think cheap food and free hot water what more could i ask for jaja.  

so we live in the arequipa con junin. it's a nice two story building but it flooded before i got in because of the monsoon ajaja and now there is a lot of nasty mold, but we are going to paint it next week. and then we won't get sick jaja. but it's nice a little concrete box. with a hole for a window, so i'm just happy. the street is Arequipa 631, Chulucanas not sure about the number, but it's the concrete one next to the other one that has a white fence. we have a room on the second floor, but in the back facing the coral. it's big, but we don't have a shower curtain jaja or a door for the bathroom jaja but no problem.  in addition to the butterfly plague the stinks are nasty. they are everywhere and the crickets. aweful  but up until now, i have only been bitten once by a mosquito, which is good because there is a dengue going around jaja. that would really bite getting dengue and then going home jajaja. but yeah the church Moquegua 700, Chulucanas and ........... yeah well there really isn't much else.  hope your weeks great and i'll write you when i be 3 weeks from quiting time.

May the force be with you.

Chulcanas week 1: So lets get things straight.

as for me i'm doing fine. i'm working diligently and i'm learning the names of my branch. it's a nice branch of about 50 actives, and they are either really old or kind of young. it's a common trend among peruvian wards, but it's normal because there have been lots of problems. you see they fight a little. but normalishly. for here. jaja

we have had a few interesting happenings. 

our apartment has been invaded by moths yikes... and we have had no food because we didn't have time to buy food last week, but now that we are skinnier, we went to piura to buy more jaja but now it's all good. i bought about 160 sols of food that should keep me good until about ............... the time when i get home jaja. but moving stuff by bus is a hassle and i don't want to anymore.  jaja but i don't have to that's the good thing jaja.

um my comp is a quiet kid from cuzco. he's great just doesn't talk. the worst kind of comp for me, but he's obedient and he works. its been tough because it's a new area, but it's not like i've got to do much more than work because i wont have to teach anyone so it's chill. 

it's been a tough week but i'm not complaining. i just want that to be better. beat my inner demons and then get back to where i belong. jaja i love peru and i've become really peruvian but  it's time that i get back especially because i keep getting these nightmares that i'm late for class, but i don't know what my classes are. it's horrible.

LOve yall

May the force be wit ya.

FREAK i forgot how much i hate beginnings.

so i realized today that the truth is that it's not endings that are soooooo bad. . .. it's the beginnings that suck... like really. new branch new pensionista (she serves water simple not the water (juice) that my old mamita loved to serve jajaj) she was a little rebellious jaja  but well so you know i'm now in chulucanas, piura, peru. its a small town about an hour out of piura we came in a bus. it costs 4 soles to get out here. about a buck and a quarter. expensive right. . . .

this last week was crazy. we spent some time with chrystian chiroke an RM that got back about the time that i was sent to paita. it's always fun to spend time with him. he's a crazy nut job, but i love him. if you look up his instagram you'll see pics of us jajaja or his face jaja. technology is crazy.

i loved conference although we missed elder holland the wifi went out, and we had to run to the house of our mamita to watch the end. we ended up staying in her house to watch the last one. we ate a nice parillada and some ceviche de pota. yum. . . when i get back we'll have some fun cooking up some ceviche. you might like it jajaja 

so my new comp is elder quispe. he's got 14 months in the mission. he's from cuzco, and he's alright. quiet not like elder martinez jaja but i'm sure we'll be getting along more than anything because i don't have the leadership jaja i'm just going to be as happy as can be. i like the area lots and lots of pista (pavement) paita was .... a little ..... well 

anyway it's just really kind of exhausting making new friends and it's even stranger when i know that i'm going in just 6 short weeks. but that's the mish gig. when i got my new assignment pres. called to thank me and that made me feel really weird in a lot of ways. i have always wondered if my efforts have been pleasing to the lord and in a way that was a great answer to my questions. so i guess that's awesome. i started to read the new testament this week i love the story of jesus. it fills me up and makes me wonder. he really was that incredible. and yet so many don't believe in him or if the believe they don't do what he taught. 

conf. thoughts.

1 getting married is important.... don't think i'd ever thought of that before.

2. Sabbath day and technology arent 100% compatible.

3 cellphones and the sacrament NO

4 we need to be more respectful of other religions remembering that they too want the same things as us. 

5 we need to build our faith and our testimonies. 

sure i'm missing something but....

oh and anybody know what's up with Pres. monson? he didn't give the welcome or the ending speech. what's up with that and he looked sick to me. .. i want info if there is any.

love y'all have a killer week.

que la fuerza este con vosotros.
