Hey everyone what's up! This week was so much fun. I've been loving this transfer so much. I literally feel so spoiled and blessed sometimes because how good it's going! I'm a malcriado. This week we had to do a ton of stuff for the missionaries in our zone to help them out but I really love being able to help! We were still able to have good lessons with our friends though and it's so crazy the love I've already grown for this ward and these people here in Tacalá! They are so nice to me and I love them so much! I was able to meet the bishop this week week and he was so excited for me to be here that he made me fried chicken feet! They were awful. This Saturday our guy Nilson got baptized. Poor guy was really sad though cause his ex-Señora didn't show up. He was still hyped about being baptized but in the pictures he looks forced against his will to be there and he did cry to us a little bit about his ex. But he still got baptized! Also some 17 year old inac...

Hey what's up guys! This week was crazy but it was actually so much fun!! So last Tuesday and Wednesday were my last two days in my area Lopez Albujar so I spent most of the time going and saying goodbye to a lot of people. So many people I'm gonna miss. Then Thursday was probably the most exhausting day of my mission. It was the day of transfers so I got my new comp and it was my first day as zone leader. We literally spent all day from 11-9 helping all the people in the zone move all their stuff into their apartments and make sure they're good. Lots of people were moving into new apartments so we had to go and move all of their stuff for them and we went apartment shopping for other elders. I was dead by the end of the day but I also loved it cause I love the feeling of being important and being needed by people. A lot of this week has just been taking care of the other missionaries and meetings but we've had some really good lessons too! You wouldn't believe the ...

Hey whats up guys! So I actually don't remember like anything that happened the past two weeks, but I'll share a couple things. So last week was really good, we had a ton of lessons and we were grinding! This week was the opposite though lol. This past week, we didn't teach a single lesson. My comp doesn't want us telling people what's wrong with him cause hes embarrassed so I'll just say this week he had something that rhymes with flemorrhoids. So we were stuck in the apartment literally the whole week. It was so boring but as I was sitting around I thought, "ok why does God want me locked up for the next week?" And I took it as a time to just study the scriptures all week. I was able to finish the new testament and almost read all of doctrine and covenants! It was still really boring all week, but it was nice to find the good in it and figure out why I was meant to be stuck in the apartment all week! So this monday my comp was finally feeling better ...

What's up everyone! This week was good and on Tuesday we got a call from the AP's to go to the mission office in two hours cause I was getting another comp. We went there and picked up Elder Balvin and now he's with us in a trío! He was already in my district and his comp had to leave to go work in another place, so they decided to leave him with me! He's still in his training so now I'm training two elders and covering both of their areas as district leader. I was stressed at first about all of it, but it's a ton of fun!  This week was the 28th of July which is Peru's independence day. They had a party at the church from 8 AM until midnight and we pulled up for a few hours and played soccer with the ward. Ngl I was kinda dragging my team down cause soccer is not my sport, so I got bumped down into the kids league lol. I did not go easy on those 12 year olds and had the place bumpin when I scored a goal. Felt incredible. Also the other day we were walking an...
