COMING HOME

Hey everyone! Ive forgotten to write for awhile but it's been really good. me and my boy Elder Austin have been having a lot of fun and working really hard in our last transfer. This transfer we've had a super bad rat problem in our apartment btw. It's been horrible and I found rat poop in my bed and I really hate rats. I'm not gonna miss that.

Sooo we had 9 baptismal dates for this last Sunday, and every single one of them fell through the day before. So Saturday and Sunday were pretty much some of the worst days of my mission but it's OK. We also walked 10 miles to one of their houses last week for a lesson cause we couldn't find transportation and it was a 3 and a half hour walk and they didn't even get baptized. That was super fun.

It's been good though and now my mission is ending! I come home on Thursday and I can't believe it. I really can't describe how a mission is. It's the hardest, most miserable, longest, saddest, and exhausting years ever, but somehow, it was the greatest decision I've ever made. Somehow, I've never been happier. Somehow, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm so happy with who I've become and I feel so ready for the rest of my life. A mission has shown me exactly what I want for the rest of my life. It has given me goals and a purpose. I know this church is true. I know that every missionary writes that in his weekly email and you always hear that, but I'm writing it just incase I need to remember that in the future. 

I'm so grateful for you all and I hope to see you guys at the Idaho Falls airport on Thursday at 6:30pm. My homecoming talk will also be thus Sunday at noon! See you all soon :)

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...

DENGUE AGAIN

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...
