Wow guys I cannot believe that my training is coming to an end here... Next week I get moved to the big boy missionary grounds so looking forward to what lies ahead

December has begun I hope everyone is taking advantage of celebrating Christmas. This week has been a pretty interesting week as we basically dropped all our friends from the transfer as none of them wanted to keep our promises. So all week we set out to find, and find, and find. Sadly we couldn't manage to hang onto anyone yet but we are doing our best out here. Everyone is in too much of a Christmas spirit or something🎄☃️🎁🎅

So now its time for story time... All that happened happened yesterday. Buckle up because it gets pretty funky.
Our day started off with a visit from the wife of the landlord. We had been playing with this little Peruvian trumpos (toy tops) and apparently had been making all the neighbors mad with how loud they were banging on the ground...😎 So we've been more careful about making noise here because it turns out that Peruvians actually like the quiet, but want to be quiet. I haven't had a quiet day since I arrived here in Peru but I guess that's just Peru ðŸĪ·‍♂️ So the for the most part the rest of the day went pretty normal. Had church then left to go watch a baptism that the sisters from our ward had planned. This baptism went well up until the very end when it was time for the missionaries to share their purpose and what they do. This lady sitting at the very front in a bright pink jacket, golden cross rings on every finger, and enough face cream to make her face look like a silver robot, asked us a question. "What is faith?" The sister missionaries replied with a banger response but the grandma then proceeded to tell everyone in the room the mistake her children had made by getting baptized and by the fruits of their faith they will come to realize the truth. Luckily we finally got it under control and finished as normal as we could make it... Man that was a weird experienceðŸĪŠ

Well that's really it for this week we've got transfers coming up this Thursday do we'll see what happens love you guys and have a great rest of your week!!

SHOUTOUTS!!!ðŸ“Ē

The work is moving along here, now we have a baptism date and she is just the coolest. We're hoping she can move her baptism sooner to this week . This week we have transfers and I swear if we get moved out before we baptize her I will flip out. It has taken so much work to get this place running again...  Well Tuesday started off a little bummy because that was the day that we were supposed to receive our carnets and all the other boys in my group did. BUT I DIDN'T. Let me help you picture what this place is like. It looks just like a dmv, with letters and numbers saying who goes next. Every single number is just randomized and it looks like a mess. I would argue that this place, called migrations, is worse than the DMV . The sad part was, I wasted my time in that office waiting like everyone else but did not get my brownie card . next week. What made up for it though was spending time with the boys that I had gotten close with in the MTC. So I guess it wasn't all too bad ...

  Whats up guys!! Hope everyone is having a great week this week because I feel like last week just ended. We had a busy week so maybe thats why it felt so fast. We've turned into robots. Finding people has become a rhythm. We just visit all the parks around here because 1 they are beautiful, and 2 it is where people go when they have extra time. As with the title we used the Spanish phrase at the top a lot. Which means, we don't want to take more of your time, which was just for us to stop talking with them to find some more people. The work is hard out here, especially when people love to talk about God and Jesus but never want to accept what we've asked of them. But at least we're spreading the gospel out here!! SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: For my spiritual thought today I want to talk a little about why we as members of the church of Jesus Christ love not only the joy our gospel brings but what Jesucristo does for every one of us. So it begins. Why do members of the church wa...

  Well the sweet and dreadful transfers happened last week... luckily me and my companion are staying another transfer!! My area here has been a real stick in the neck and frustrating, and brown. Not counting how much of a baby mission it is with food cooked for us for two meals and laundry done and folded by someone else... I've been trying to find the good here in where I'm at. Like the food            But trying to teach people who don't want to do anything we ask them to, can really getcha. People's agency is important to God, but sometimes I wish I could just get people to keep their promises... But God has a plan, a plan that is so perfect that even his most rebellious and disruptive child cannot stop the joys we have waiting for us after this life. This week was real boring and we have mostly had lessons with people who we are dropping. It's hard to look at your work and say you're doing a good job when there really isn't anything to show. But a...
