HAPPY NEW YEARS

YOOO HAPPY NEW YEARS! New Years as a missionary is not the same lol but we still made it lit. On new years eve, we weren't allowed to go out that night so we played some monopoly, card games, and popped some martinellis at 9:30 and got crunk lol. We were still in bed by 10:30 but I set and alarm on my watch for midnight and just yelled, "yo it's new years." And everyone ignored me haha. It's crazy how much is gonna happen this year and I'm so excited! Happy new years to you all, I hope you make some fire New Years resolutions!


We had a pretty good week this week and found quite a few people! First off, TROYS GETTING BAPTIZED!! We taught him the law of chastity for like the fourth time and it top 2 most awkward lessons of my life but he decided to get married, so he talked to bishop today and asked him if he'll get them married, so they're doing it this week! January 14th is the date and I'm so hyped! We found a few other people this week who actually are pretty promising and I'm getting super excited about what's coming!


We were knocking doors the other day and we knocked a door and he opened the door, but not the screen door, and he had a pet dog that was literally jacked. It wasn't a dog, it was a dawg. It was a French Mastiff if anyone knows what that is. The thing was like 3 or 4 feet tall and literally 0% bodyfat. And it literally had biceps bigger than mine. Like I bet the dog could bench 225, no joke. The dog weighed 150 pounds and if that thing attacked me, I literally wouldn't even put up a fight. And he starts opening the screen door and I'm pooping my pants and I said, "should I be running right now?" And he told me the dog was nice, and it was lol. Then the dog peed in the bushes and the dogs stream was a freaking waterfall.


We went to Olive Garden for my companions birthday and he was turning 20, and after we finished singing happy birthday to him, an old lady comes up and wished him happy birthday. He said thanks and then she said, "so how old are u turning, 13?" And he said, "no... 20." I started dying and then my roommates started dying of laughter lol. 
I also had a life changing experience a few days ago. I used a bidet for the first time! I was at a members house and went to the bathroom, but I only went pee. I noticed they had a bidet and I've always wanted to try one, but I didn't have to go poop, but I decided this may be my only chance to try one, so I tried it anyways. It was an eye opening experience to say the least. I thought I was about to start ascending. The water soaked through my pants though so I had a huge wet spot on my pants and they all noticed which was embarrassing, but worth it. I'm definitely having one in my home when I'm older.
My companion was sick a couple days ago for like 5 hours and took a nap, which left me nothing to do. I sat down and read the whole Pearl of Great Price and it was pretty cool lol. Now I can at least say that I've read it.


Spiritual thought: I recognized in my life, I keep putting off my happiness. I keep saying to myself, "once I get a good comp, then I'll be happy." Or, "once I learn Spanish, then I'll be happy." Or, "once I get to Peru, then I'll be happy." And it's an awful thing to do. You'll never be satisfied with what you have and you'll keep putting off your happiness. It's so important tofind joy in your life now, because there's so many things to find joy in. Don't look in the future to find joy, find joy in your life now.

Hey everyone merry Christmas! I hope you all had a good Christmas! This week was pretty good we had a lot of stuff happen! So last Wednesday we had out huge mission Christmas party which was lit. We met up with the whole mission and the party didn't end a little after midnight and we still had to get on our bus and get home, so we didn't get to bed til about 2. Then the next morning we got up at 5:30 to get on the bus again and go to Piura again for our Multi zone conference in Piura. Then we came back home on the bus again late that night. Super exhausting but super fun! We've been able to find a good amount of people this week and we've seen a lot of success! It's been super fun lately in our area and me and my comp have so much fun together. On Saturday, we were in the area Mi Perú which is the poorest area in the whole city and the poorest place I've seen in my whole mission. While we were there, we saw this house handing out cake, hot chocolate, and toys to...

Hey how's its going! these last few weeks have been pretty good! A couple weeks ago we had a baptism for Kathryn and it went super good! It had to be like my firstbaotism ever where we didn't have a ton of problems, cause it went well! I got to baptize her and she couldn't stop smiling when she came out of the water!! Also ya a couple weeks ago, we visited a member who lives in such a sick house right along the river and jungle area. It was night time and the mosquitos were having a BLAST on me. The hermano looked at me and said, "oh don't worry, there's no mosquitos over here." And I wanted to say, hermano I litetally just had 2 of them fly into my ears and I've been smacking my body like SpongeBob and Patrick in that one scene in the SpongeBob movie for the past 20 minutes. The next morning I counted 42 bites on my right ankle, and 26 on my left ankle. I told my comp the next day, "ain't no way I don't get dengue from this." That ni...
