HAPPY EASTER!!

hey everyone what's up!! it's been like a month so I wanted to give a little update about how it's going! happy Easter to everyone too! I actually had no idea it was Easter until like 5 pm that day, I was shook.


I've been doing good here in Los Pinos though! we had transfers a few weeks ago and I stayed here and got a new comp named Elder Ticeran and he's from Lima. my heart kinda dropped when I found out I was gonna be with him and it's kinda been a tough few weeks with him, but I knew my good luck would end soon cause my last 8 months had been amazing.


right now in our área, we got 2 families of 4 kids between the ages 14-8 that are progressing super well. they all LOVE us and we went by their houses on Sunday and all 8 of them walked to church with us. it was adorable. it's perfect cause all 4 from each family are like best friends with the other 4 from the other family. they're all on date for the 20th so that could be a great day!!


this last week, the sister missionaries in our zone got held at gunpoint and robbed. literally at 2pm in broad daylight on a busy road. kinda wild. we had to go change the lock on their door cause they stole the key to their house too. since they got robbed, they've been getting followed home by groups of men, they've had guys come up to them and ask for theaddress of their house and ask them super sketchy questions, and in the middle of the night, they've been hearing people at their front door trying to break in. so, we went over and emergency transfered them out and moved in some elders. now they'll just have to deal with it I guess lol.


also a few weeks ago we had our multizona and like always, they cake everyone in the face that has had a birthday in the past transfer, and that was me. but they decided to change it this time and instead of throw cake, to throw whipped cream covered in food dye. stupidest idea ever. it stained my shirt, and my pants, and my garments, and shoes so bad. I was so heated. it's ok it was a learning experience I guess.


yesterday was probably the best pday of my whole mission. we had a zone leader pday and leadership council so I got to hang out with my guy Elder Austin and all my other boys from 8am-11pm. me and Elder Austin literally played spikeball and pickleball for like 6 hours. we RAN those courts. just like back home, it hit me so many times yesterday that I can't believe I'm just playing spikeball with my best friend in Perú. it is still so crazy. we got BURNED from the sun cause its so hot here, and I woke up this morning and my body hurts so bad lol. so worth it.


overall, I can't describe how much I love the mission! I've been able to see how much I'm truly happier when I follow Jesus Christ and I'm obedient and keep him commandments. I'm so happy I'm here. 


I love you all and hope you have a good week!

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...
