THE HOARDERS

This week was pretty good! We have some good friends progressing and we'll have a family of 4 baptized next week and then another one baptized in two weeks! And then at church this past Sunday, We noticed there was a lady who was at church who We had never seen before, so we went and talked to her and she kept saying how badly she wants to be baptized! It was super cool and she'll be baptized in 3 weeks! This week was a lot of fun and we were able to find 20 new people which was sick.


This past week we started teaching this new family who's really nice (kinda weird and quiet) but also really nice! They're also big time hoarders. Their walls are stacked to the ceiling everywhere with a bunch of  stuff and there are stains everywhere and we just feel nasty in there. We walk in and the mom asked us to take off our shoes. I thought to myself, "there's no way, there's trash to the ceiling, stains everywhere, AND YOU HAVE A DIRT FLOOR." But of course, we took them off.... in a house with a dirt floor. Kinds crazy lol. Then when we left, some kind of liquid had spilled into my shoe so it was soaked on the inside. I do not wanna know what the liquid was.


This past week I've been kinda pushing the limits and I've been in the kitchen cooking. Me and my comp made mango cobbler twice last week and it was so dang good. Future stay at home dad


Also, fun story. We were doing our shopping at the store the other day and my comp wanted to ask the worker where the straws were. He asked me what's the word for "straw" in Spanish, and I had to prank him, so I told him the word for "bra". So dude goes up to the worker and asks, "hey do you know where the bras are at?" And the worker looked at him like he was so confused and said, "ummm excuse me?" And my comp repeated again that he wanted a bra. I'm in the background literally trying not to cry. The guy said, "I'm really confused, you want a bra?" And my comp was like, "ya I want a bra to drink out of." Then the worker pointed to his chest and said, "a bra is for a woman to out on, you don't want to drink out of it." Then my como realized. It was so dang funny. Gotta love it.


That's about it! Things are going really good! Have a good week and happy Halloween:))

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...
